In the end...I don't see KP being able to deal with anyone like Kess, Joe, Hopkins, or even a worn out RJJ.
I disagree wholeheartedly with you in reference to Kelly dealing with Nard and Calzaghe.

Calzaghe cant put the mustard on his punches because of his hands to put a dent in Pavlik, those pitter patter slaps will do nothing. Kelly throws straight crisp shots , he dosent loop his punches.... You know which punch Joe has the most trouble dealing with? The straight right, Pavliks bread and butter and he brings the thunder... I see Joe getting backed up like everyone else and just grinded down like everyone else.. 

Bernard Hopkins at this point of his career is utter garbage and mockery of the sport. He is clearly past it Boxing skill wise. He compensates his deteriated skilll and age by WWE tactics.He habitually headbutts, blatantly holds and hits.

A typical Hopkins sequence is Headdown fire the right, Clinch hold and hit occasionally mixing in a headbutt and excessive holding worse than Ruiz and Hatton.. WASH< RINSE AND REPEAT FOR 12 ROUNDS.

If you bo back and watch the Tarver and Wright fights he is worse than Ruiz..I like many didnt get upset over his tactics VS Tarver cause I like many of us hate Tarver and I got caught up in the romance of him winning the Lightheavy title and retireing but he came back and fought a dirty foul laden fight against Wright and now I hate the guy cause he is garbage skill wise now and thinks he is in a MMA match everytime out
