    he was negative, but thats just the way he is. Look at Taylor and Calzaghe face after the fight, and look at his. Who's is more beat up?

        A prime Hopkins would beat Calzaghe and Taylor convincingly. Maybe even KO/TKO. You are underrating his handspeed if you think that Taylor and Calzaghe have faster hands prime for prime.

        And a flawed Hopkins threw more JABS that led to his over right, upper cut, and left hook. He lost his jab these last couple years, but it showed up against Pavlik.
        Dude, when most message boarders reference a prime Hopkins it's like they're referencing a prime Ray Robinson. In other words, something they've never seen.

              It's a ****ing horrible thing. Can you imagine Jermain Taylor trying to out-man a prime Hopkins? Or Joe Calzaghe's arms flailing in midair while he stands square up against a prime BHop?

              Ok then....

                i understand. Thats what i was trying to say to. Everybody always tries to say Taylor and Calzaghe beat him anytime in his career. I say hell no.

                Im blown right now. thats why i didn't understand the Ray Robinson thing lol

                    I hear this a lot. Calzaghe's face after the fight had basically a scratch on his nose and a couple of bumps on his forehead where he was headbutted. I mean, compare how he looked to someone like Vazquez after his last battle with Marquez! Having facial damage doesn't mean you lost. Obviously a fight is not scored on that unless it's stopped on cuts or something.

                      B-Hop beat Taylor twice, while I will admit the Calzaghe fight could have gone either way. A prime B-Hop would have taken Taylor/ Calzaghe out
