Hopkins
Roy
Calzaghe
I'd probably put Bernard top 30 all time, somewhere around that. Not sure where I'd put Roy or Calzaghe, they're definitely on the list somewhere obviously.

This is harder than I thought it would be. RJ had a win over Hop early, and Joe had one late. The problem is that its hard to define Hopkins' "Prime." He has fought and won at a high level since his loss to JC. I think RJ is a little easier to graph, as far as when he declined significantly. You just can't discount that JC win over Hopkins either. I don't know, I'm not at all a fan of JC, but I could make an argument to put him at 1.

Jones wasn't prime when he beat hopkins..they were both green..and neither had really discovered who they were as professionals.
Bigger names in terms of money? Then its just oscar..but BHOP's opponents aren't near jones...Hop has victories over two potential HOF's Jones has six. No one on Hop's record is anywhere near Toney. And since people like to tarnish both jones wins over Toney and Hopkins himself...then hopkins beat two blown up WW's at MW, a weight drained Tarver, and a one dimensional Pavlik..

....But Calzaghe deserves more credit for the win over Hopkins. I don't care if B-Hop was 50 when that fight took place he was still (and is still) an awesome fighter, as he showed against Pavlik, which was directly after the JC fight and against Wright and Tarver whicher were directlly before JC. The Tarver, Wright and Pavlick wins are the best of his career imo.
