Calzaghe IMO isn't in the picture or least I hope not or he will destroy another weight class by beating its best fighter in Chad Dawson then retiring anyways. Chad IMO isn't quite at the stage in his career where he will have delt with enough to deal with Calzaghe. I think he showed his deire to fight and his heart against Glen Johnson, but its Calzaghe's speed along wtih his output that make him so difficult.
Still people are saying Roy doesn't punch, but that is being hypocritical because Hopkins has had the lowest output of any champion maybe ever. When he is fighting his fight he averages like 30 punches a round.
I still contest that if Joe beat Bernard it was on output and he definitely beat Roy on output, the difference is, is that Roy was there all night for Joe to throw punches at while Hopkins wasn't. Hopkins is a great fighter, but Jermain Taylor like I have said due to his more explosive speed and actually putting power on his punches limited Hopkins so much, even in their second fight when Bernard said he would come forward and knock Jermain out.
