    For me Calzaghe

    Even though B-Hops win is nothing short of spectacular because of his age and his recent loss to Calzaghe he was still a Legend to everyone.

    When Calzaghe beat Lacy he was just thought of as a paper champ and that Lacy would destroy him and Calzaghe proved everyone wrong by winning every round, I think Joe knew it was a sink or swim moment and showed everyone that night he was world class.

    They were both spectacular displays by these two very evenly matched fighters

    Its doesnt seem fair to try and pick a "better" performance

    Calzaghe, as both he and Lacy were fighting at their natural weight at the time, and Joe won every single round, without exception. It was a true schooling. Athough Hopkins did do a fine job on Pavlik

    what hurts worse, getting run over by a forward moving locomotive, or a backward moving locomitive?

    looking at these now, I have to appreciate what Hopkins did to Pavlik.

    Pavlik was far more dangerous for Hopkins when they fought, with the rep of being a puncher who beat and stopped the man who beat Hopkins, and Hopkins was coming from a loss, and was really old at that time.
