    Both Hopkins and Roy Jones of the late 90's early 2000's would have destroyed Calzaghe.Calzaghe for me is overrated his major threat in 45 fights was Kessler other than that he took an easy route he never chased the big names like Hopkins and Jones and so on when they were in there primes he wouldn't even rematch Robin Reid who many thought beat Calzaghe and lets have it right he was basically beat by a 43 year old Hopkins it was his closest fight ever.

    In 45 fights these are the best he has fought.

    Chris Eubank:
    Who came in at short notice had to lose 11lbs in 7 days Eubanks was past his best but still gave Calzaghe a good fight one of his toughest in fact but this did show us what Calzaghe was made of.

    Robin Reid:
    Who in my eyes beat him alot of people thought so as well he should have at least got a rematch.

    Omar Sheika:
    Lets have it right this was a guy who got beat by Tony Booth for god sake.

    Richie Woodhall:
    A good fighter won a WBC world title at super middle but he nearly got beat by Glenn Catley many thought he did get beat.Then he got beat by Markus Beyer and lost his world title.Woodhall was a good fighter but just good not outstanding.

    Charles Brewer:
    This guy lost twice to Sven Ottke he had 8 losses before he got to Calzaghe and Calzaghe had some rough times in this fight and he should have KO'd Brewer in my opinion for it to be a impressive win.

    Byron Mitchell:
    A fairly good puncher won a world title vs Frankie Liles TKO11 but then went on in his first defence and drew with Bruno girard then lost it in his 2nd defence in a rematch vs Gerard.In his fight before Calzaghe lost vs Sven Ottke so it was a safe bet for Calzaghe to win.Calzaghe got dropped heavy but came back to KO mitchell a good win.

    Jeff Lacy:
    IBF Super Middleweight champ but well overrated and overhyped.He had good power but relied on it he had struggled vs Omar Sheika so more reason for Calzaghe to fight him.Since his loss to Calzaghe Lacy has still failed to impress vs Tsypko and Manfredo so proves to a certain degree he was overhyped.

    Mikkel Kessler:
    39-0 a good solid fighter number 2 in the world WBC/WBA world champ.A good competetive fight hat off to Calzaghe for this win.

    Bernard Hopkins:
    43 year old former middleweight champ ranked number 1 at light heavy i think Hopkins won as do many others .

    I think calzaghe is overrated slightly i think people get caught up in the he's made 22 world title defences.yes he made 22 defences but went alot of easy routes to do it so could he beat a peak Hopkins or Jones or some of the other fighters alot of you have mentioned e.g G man,Toney and peak Eubank and so on the answer is NO!

    Maybe your forgetting that Shieka was coming off a win over Glen Johnson and that Mitchell actually beat Ottke.

    You can question every fighters resume, Roy Jones fought cans after Toney stepped up lost, Pacquaio beat old Morales old Barerra and got a gift over Marques, Hopkins lost to the best two 160lb fighter he ever faced............... i could go on its all rubbish Calzaghes resume stacks up and at 36yo still going strong man needs a break.

    However i condenm his fight with Jones as its a mismatch of epic proportions.

    I think Roy would beat him i dont think Hopkins prime for prime would beat Joe.
