No he hasn't Calzaghe has beaten every single opponent that has needed beating at Super Middleweight.
If u think that is the case then it is unfair for anyone to say that Hopkins has chosen his opponents carefully. He has fought the harder fights than Joe C.

You state yourself that Hopkins is a never-aging phenom, so you can't put everyone up against his yardstick. The only reason that Hopkins is still fighting at 43 is that he's picked his fights carefully, choosing those he can win, and fighting in a style that makes him very difficult to hit and in a way where he doesn't take too much damage. I wouldn't want Calzaghe to go down that route and become a spoiler to negate the aging factor.
Same goes with your comment mate, I mean if u think Hopkins has picked his opponents carefully then u must agree the same can be said about Joe C who has historically fought lsser opponents than BHOP.

I agree in fact Hopkins opposition is stronger than most people think.
