    Both were exciting all action fighers who were gentlemen outside the ring. Hopkins (one of the most boring fighters of recent years) used negative spoiling tactics and displayed classless behaviour on many occasions.

    Calzaghe fought euro bums, had one decent win over Kessler and fought two 40 year olds with Jones and Hopkins.

    No way in hell he ranks over Hopkins

    He also fought much better fighters throughout his whole career than Calzaghe did and he also really beat Calzaghe at 43, so Joe shouldn't even be in the same sentence as him. You gotta better arguement for Roy, even though I would rank Hopkins a notch over Jones as well.

    Shows how bigoted and biased you are to try to claim Hopkins beat Calzaghe. Calzaghe won easily and did resort to Hopkins pathetic tactics during the bout.
