Seeing that BHop should've beaten Calzaghe @ 43 he would've disposed of him. I don't thnk MCLellan, Benn or Eubank have much of a chance against the big 3 but any of them could catch Roy.
Your presumption here is that an ageing Hopkins almost beat a PEAK Calzaghe. This is wrong. Calzaghe was some way past his peak also. Plus it was a poor performance by Calzaghe even by the standards of being past his peak. In reality a past-his-peak Calzaghe narrowly beat a past-his-peak Hopkins.
Even though Calzaghe was quite boring I would put him to win. He may get knocked down but that seems to spring him into action. In the Hopkins fight Calzaghe was loosing to hopkins great tactics in the first three rounds but then he addapted to his style.
Being able to adapt along with his amazing work rate/endurance and being able to take a punch. Hes a very difficult fighter to defeat. It must be quite disheartening to fight Calzaghe.
