    Bernard Hopkins in his prime

    Steve collins

    Glenn Johnson

    The G man

    I could probably think of more just a few off top of my head.

    If were talking prime 2002-2005 Calzaghe at 168lbs only Roy Jones, Hopkins would get beat worse than the old version as he would try to fight Calzaghe and get pasted and again wins over tito and Oscar cannot possibly lead me to believe he beats Joe.

    The rest Joe would box their heads off.
    Hopkins would get beat worse to be fair you could argue he won at 43, imagine the Hopkins that faced Glen Johnson, that Hopkins would dominate Calzaghe.

    It would depend on the weight and period. This thread is too random. At 168 Calzaghe has a chance against anyone.

    Not a well thought out thread.

    Styles make fights, Hopkins would have opened up and been hit. The only way to beat Calzaghe is to let him lead whilst staying off the ropes. I think Taylor would be a tougher fight for Joe than Pavlik again styles.

    U really think Collins would have beaten Joe?
    man I was a huge Colllins fan, really got me into boxing, I loved when he beat Eubank, they were great nights. but tbh he would not have had a hope against Joe.

    Big Reid fan as well, he deserved a rematch but I had him losing(slightly)

    Don't think Benn or Gman would have beat him either

    All time i have to go Roy Jones UD, Hagler and Toney would have give Calzaghe a good fight i want to say Robinson but he only had one fight above 160.

    Archie Moore at 175 is a tough fight for anyone and i think Bob Foster would also UD Joe in a tough fight.

    No... I just no the best fighter he ever fought was a 43 year old man who beat him. I forgot Toney. Pavlik would eat him up and shit him out. No Enzo is saying Pavlikm is not worthy......hahahaha.......but Peter Manfredo is? What a joke this guy is. And so are you.

    Lets see Pavlik beat Abrahams or Kessler, Pavlik is not in Calzaghes league.

    The old discredit a fighter because he beat a P4P fighter in a close fight, works everytime.

    Calzaghe's past his prime but I'd say he'll still beat Pavlik, your sounding like a broken record with the Calzaghe bashing, kinda like a guy Northside who used to do the same. As for Pavlik would eat him up and shit him out, your making the guy out to be superman, he won a close fight in his last fight that could have gone either way, and the first fight he came within a whisker of been ko'your still bashing Calzaghe for not fighting Pavlik but I notice your man didn't take up the Kessler offer

    Joe has problems with the Straight Right... I have said this time and again, Gerald McClellan would have eaten him alive..Gerald was strong, quick and had a solid chin to go with very underrated technical ability... and Geralds Straightright hand put you to sleep period!!!
