    IMO doing this will put him above Monson, above Hagler, even above Greb.
    Hopkins was a great MW, but how can he be considered the best ever based on what he has done in a different weight class? I don't see how beating Calzaghe at LHW makes him the best MW ever.
    I think it definitely counts for something towards his legacy at MW if he can move up to LH, capture a title, and then come down to SM and beat the undefeated, unified, long reining Champ. All after dominating at MW for so long with 20 defenses, and after turning 40!
    It definately adds to his legacy, the fight with Calzaghe is at LHW by the way, not SMW. However, just because it adds to his overall legacy doesn't mean does anything for his MW legacy. This fight is 2 weight classes above MW, therefore how can it make him the best middleweight ever?

    I am not a big fan of Calzaghe's and i think Hopkins is a much more accomplished fighter. That being said...Joe throws a lot of punches and Bernard is less busy in recent fights. Hopkins has to use his strategy and tricks to pull Calzaghe out of his comfort zone...and also be more active. Bernard is such a smart fighter and i NEVER doubt his conditioning. Will be an interesting fight...hope Hopkins wins.
