And you would be right. Joe had all the tools to give Hop problems at any weight. Joe would have ruled the mw's as easily as he did smw.

And if Roy never left MW, OR SMW... neither Joe OR Bernard would have never been champ...

If Joe went down to mw during the 90's no way would Hop have stayed champ. We all know that Joe handled Hop at a higher unnatural weight. If Joe fought at mw he would have been easily an ATG at that weight.

prime hopkins beats calz...

even if calz fought at MW, he still would've never left the protection of the UK.

Prime Hopkins would beat joe? bull **** Prime Hopkins was beating on blown up WW. Your right TS Joe would have handled Hopkins who fought the perfect fight he could against joe (aka holding, being a dirty ****) and still LOST!!

Joe would probably be some ATG for beating on the likes of HOoya and Trinidad too
