    These polls are nothing more tham opinions, but I'd toss a coin due to the fact that Joe, i think, had no hand troubles then

    Watch the fight with Glen Johnson, watch the fight with Roy even. You will see while not as fast as Roy he was still quick as ****, just a shade slower than Calzaghe even at his peak.

    A young Hopkins destroys Joe no question about it. Why do you think Joe never fought him or Roy back then.

    Then the first thing that would come into question with increased Calzaghe power is Hopkins' chin. Hopkins has never been down when fighting at or near sealevel. His chin is proven as one of the greatest ever. Calzaghe could not budge him in their fight and even with the increased hand power of a Prime Calzaghe I cannot see him doing more than possibly stunning him in Nard's prime. Bernard has been in there with some heavy punchers.

    It is not out of the question but I think Joe survives because of his speed and defense. But he gets KD twice. :good

    Man, i can't believe the voting is actually logical instead of having a bunch of Calzaghe nuthuggers claiming Calzaghe would win a wide UD or stop Hopkins. WTF is going on here? Oh wait, i know why, it's 6AM in the UK right now. In a few hours, the Calzaghe nuthuggers will vote for Calzaghe.
