Naz was 5 ft 4, Calzaghe is 6 ft, I'm guessing so is Hopkins. Naturally I bet both weigh around 185-190 lbs so the move up would be no more dramatic p4p wise than Duran moving from lightweight to middleweight. Weight has less impact the higher up you go so a jump of 135 - 160 is probably a higer jump percentage of bodyweight than 168 lb to 185/190 lbs.

Fighting at 200 lb may be too much but if the fight was at 185lb I'd fancy Calzaghe against both.

In the 60's Floyd Patterson was preparing to defend his heavyweight crown against Sugar Ray Robinson before Liston steamrollered him so it never happend.
