    I think both Calzaghe and Hopkins are in the top 30. Both had the special ability to adjust their game and win a fight by doing what was needed.

    between 20 an50 no one should complain his acoplishments are hard to ignore his midleweight defensees his lightheavy win over tarver the longevity only reason for wide range 20 tru 50 is explosiveness an boaring style but substance hard to overlook

    Man, I made some garbage posts in this thread. What a difference a year makes in regards to gaining knowledge and perception.

    I'd probably rate Hopkins in the 60-70 range.

    I would put them the same but have Calzaghe beat him in his prime.

    And neither are to 30 ATG fighters.

    B-Hop is overrated, he beat the small men but lost to any good man his size (taylor, calzaghe, RJJ)
