    Thoughts on what would happen if the fight occured during their primes?

    Please, the man couldn't murder keith holmes or Syd Vanderpool, though he beat them easily.

    There would be a lot of different dynamics at play and Calzaghe would have more of a strength advantage.Hopkins wouldn't be fouling and holding so much.

    However, Hopkins is a bad style for Cal; i'd expect him to win by about 4 or 5 points.
