BUT

Out of those listed fighters only Benn and Eubank and Eubank and Calzaghe fought each other and it must be mentioned that RJJ completely dominated a young James Toney and he beat Bernard Hopkins pretty easy too.

RJJ and Calzaghe are hard to compare because Roy was flashy and Joe is all business
Bernard Hopkins was young but no where near his prime. He was a late bloomer. In a (Tarver Hopkins) pre-fight interview Hopkins said it best when he said Tarver didn't fight the same RJJ that he did and RJJ didn't fight the same Hopkins that Tarver was about to.
For me, that basically raps up the whole "yeah but RJJ beat Hopkins argument"

Thank you lb4lb
