I come on here and have often read posts designed to degrade fighters by listing the combined age of two opponents like that someone how lessens their win over that opponent or said fighters current place is his weight division. I just think citing the combined age of a couple of fighters someone fought is the weakest argument ever in an attempt to discredit someone.
For example someone cites Hopkins and Jones as bad wins for Calzaghe by stating their combined age was over 80 when he fought them. As if they fused in to one really old guy and had 1 single fight with that bully Joe who took advantage of senior citizen Roy Hopkins jr. Or take Chad Dawson fighting Johnson and Tarver......yeah why is this young fresh fighter taking advantage of Antonio Johnson in the twilight years of his life?
I think its more quality of opponents that is important rather than their age. Since these were all LHW fights I cited name me 4 other LHWs listed who are better than the 4 who fought Calzaghe and Dawson. Tons of young fighters are ****, but we could also combine several of them and create one really really old guy that a good fighter fought too.....so next time think before you present and argument.
