The rest Joe would box their heads off.
Hopkins would get beat worse to be fair you could argue he won at 43, imagine the Hopkins that faced Glen Johnson, that Hopkins would dominate Calzaghe.

Styles make fights, Hopkins would have opened up and been hit. The only way to beat Calzaghe is to let him lead whilst staying off the ropes. I think Taylor would be a tougher fight for Joe than Pavlik again styles.
Hopkins in his prime didn't even open up too much. He just picked his shots better then he does now and could wear someone down.

Hopkins prime even the Hopkins that fought Trinidad, would beat Calzaghe
