    Who was best in his prime..Floyd, Roy, or Bernard?

    Joe Calzaghe conquered Roy Jones, Jr. and Bernard Hopkins and as a result, sealed his place as the best of his generation. History has spoken. But, of the remaining contenders who was the best in his prime? I'll throw the Mayweather nuthuggers a bone and include lil' Floyd in the mix. Of Hopkins, Jones, and Mayweather, I've got to vote for Hopkins. Yes, Jones beat a young Hopkins, but I do believe the Hopkins of 1997-2000 would have beaten prime Jones. Hopkins was too crafty and would have been able to eventually get in and land on Jones' glass jaw. IMO Mayweather cannot be considered because he dodged the really big hitters, ie..Kostya Tszu, Antonio Margarito, and Miguel Cotto.

    calzaghe sealed his place as the best of his generation with victories over a well-past his prime jones, and a sloppy, contreversial performance over hopkins?!? yea, ok...
