    Hopkins no doubt about it. He KD calzaghe in the 1st round. if they fought during his prime then he would have knock him out cold for sure.

    B-Hop has a better resume and face better fighters during his time.

    man this argument is finished. Weve clearly gathered hopkins middleweight reign-hes resume is clearly lacking...and LHW? he basically has 1 fighter...thanks for this

    you can mention all the catch weight wins--de la hoya, winky etc. Hope it makes you feel better. Look through my posts here. You clearly failed to answer my question and avoided others.

    B-Hop easily. I think he and his resume are overrated, but both are better than Calzaghe's, without question.

    I think Calzaghe beats a prime Hopkins so Calzaghe.

    Your argument is that THIS resume:

    Mikkel Kessler
    Bernard Hopkins
    Jeff Lacy
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Peter Manfredo Jr.
    Sakio Bika
    Kabary Salem
    Omar Sheika
    Robin Reid
    Tocker Pudwill
    Chris Eubank

    Is better than THIS one:

    Felix Trinidad
    Glen Johnson
    Kelly Pavlik
    Antonio Tarver
    Winky Wright
    Howard Eastman
    Oscar De La Hoya
    William Jopppy
    Carl Daniels
    Antwun Echols
    Syd Vanderpool



    Now, I understand that you're not the sharpest tool in the toolbox. But come on, there is a clear and considerable difference between the two. No one is trying to suggest that Hopkins has the best resume in the world, but its clearly a good one, in comparison to Calzaghe's feeble effort.

    Hopkins resume is proof that names on a record can be fabulously deceiving.
