If you want to argue that Hopkins could fight at a pace even close to Joe's I'd point you towards the RJJ fight, which he showed little desire to...
Although Calzaghe appeared to get the better of the action overall, it is not hard to argue that on a RBR basis that Hopkins won it. I for one...

Good wins at the time is what they were, I'm not trying to sell them as anything more. Although as Herol pointed out, the win over Woodhall might...
Juan Manuel Marquez and Lara are prime examples of this in modern times
I'd just like to take a second to dismiss any claims that Jimmy Young wasn't trying to win this fight.
