    The argument could be made that he was past it, like Hopkins was when Joe fought him.

    He doesn't beat RJJ

    Roy was faster than Joe thus negating Joes greatest strength.

    Maybe if Joe had more pop he could have tested Roy's chin but he doesn't so he wouldn't.

    If it's fighters that moved through or could have fought at 168 before the division was made, I would rank a good 35 fighters to beat Calzaghe.

    At prime, he DID have more pop.

    But he would still have lost to Jones.

    after seeing the fight, i find it hard to believe that calzaghe fans want to make the definitive statment that calzaghe could beat hopkins prime for prime. He barely sqeaked by 43 year old hopkins. I think hopkins might be able to stop him. Bernard hopkins has a very good chin, and no way EVER calzaghe slaps stop him, but we do know hopkins can hurt calzaghe. HOPKINS
