He was a great fighter who beat who he could have. Perhaps he could have done more for his overall profile by either ditching Frank Warren or travelling a little, but aside from Roy Jones there wasn't really anyone a level above the guys who were willing to come and fight him. I don't think he beat Hopkins myself, but that was a pretty negative fight and very hard to score regardless of what you like. Well worth noting that Calzaghe was further over the hill than Hops was at that point as well, in hindsight at least.
