    They might have beat the version of Joe we saw in his twenties, but I don't think any of them could have beaten the Joe that beat Kessler. I believe they may even have said words to this effect, but I'm not certain about that.

      here's what Tunney had to say about Bernard Hopkins

      Hopkins relies heavily on head butts, low blows, hitting and holding, and other illegal means. Without his dirty tricks, he's have been a journeyman.

        You better be joking



        25 year old Calzaghe whooped 31 year old Eubank and 118-110 and knocked him down twice and Eubank was the best of those 3.

            Yup.

            Benn said Calzaghe would have beaten all three but been in a lot more wars.

              nope not joking.

              prime eubank , benn and collins beats prime joe. just my opinion.

              eubank was not the best of the 3 either. i liked nigel.

                benn wasn't serious.

                deep down he's thinking , "i would've whooped this fool."

                    If Calzaghe keeps his zero and beats RJJ and Pavlik then I would put him clearly ahead of Hopkins. I agree with Tua though, neither are ATGs in my book, hall of famers yes but ATG nope.
