Explain the difference between Hopkins and Cazlaghe's title defences?
First, you claim I said Calzaghe ducked people. There goes what little's left of your credibility right there. Second, I said "opponents". You're specifying "title defenses". Another blow to your negligible credibility. But I'll humor you and list the opponents:
Hopkins
Glen Johnson
Keith Holmes
Felix Trinidad
William Joppy
Oscar de la Hoya
Howard Eastman
Jermain Taylor (twice)
Antonio Tarver
Winky Wright
Joe Calzaghe
Kelly Pavlik
Roy Jones Jr.
Chad Dawson
Calzaghe
Eubank
Jeff Lacy
Kessler
Hopkins
RJJ
Oh...... and Peter Manfredo.
Next!

You said "I beg to differ" about a comparison made between Calzaghe at 168 and Hopkins at 160. What does Hopkins post 160 career have to do with it?
It's not Fenster's credibility you should be concerned with. Fact.
