    take that calzaghe and give him better stamina, speed, chin, power... let him fight in neutral ground at his own weight class.. oh wait.

      I wouldnt say Calzaghe was in his prime either. And Joe was out of his weight class as well, whereas Hopkins had already fought there.

      Btw....Im not saying Hopkins doesnt win. Im saying I dont understand why guys like Mercado are being brought up to analyse a fight against Joe Calzaghe.

        that's true,but neither has hopkins.

        neither are big punchers which should explain it.

          Trinidad and DLH were elite fighters...and you could make a case for Keith Holmes who was the WBC champ

            Let's not even bring up resumes...Bernard gave RJJ the closest fight in his prime
            Pavlik elite? you threw his name in there for a cheap laugh ? even Glen Johnson i would debate but wtf Pavlik lol? just another Lacy really.. limited and over hyped.

            Not that it matters, i don't see a Bhop Ko/tko he might have decent power but he aint Trinidad, Joe actually has a good chin don't let 2 first round KD make you think otherwise. Bhop one didnt even hurt him and Jones was an elbow..

            If Bhop is more open and not clinching as much Joe's punch rate goes up and he gets a UD/SD
