If Hopkins beats one of the best fighters in boxing at 43 years old...

It would seriuosly be shocking and would definitely add to his legacy.

ahahahaha better than Floyds thats funny. dont make me school u. roys is not better than Floyds lol:duh: typically, only pre-pubescent girls use :duh: - are your panties creamed with discharge??

dont bother bro, he is hopeless! Probably, Roy's resume is a lot better than Floyd's, but he'll argue that Floyd has never lost. Neither did Roy, until he was 35 (not counting that stupid Griffin fight.) Does he honestly think Floyd would still be undefeated at 35? Maybe if he fights one old DLH a year till then.

Hopkins, Toney, Tarver, Virgil Hill, John Ruiz, Montel Griffin, Glen Johnson, Eric Harding, Clinton Woods, Otis Grant, Reggie Johnson, Lou Del Valle, etc, etc, not a bad resume seriously. dont bother bro, he is hopeless!

jones didnt fight the best fighters and thats another reason hes not number 1 on my list. and he was ko'd Hopkins, Toney, Tarver, Virgil Hill, John Ruiz, Montel Griffin, Glen Johnson, Eric Harding, Clinton Woods, Otis Grant, Reggie Johnson, Lou Del Valle, etc, etc, not a bad resume seriously.

jones didnt fight the best fighters and thats another reason hes not number 1 on my list. and he was ko'd u rank bhop #1 atg at middle, yet he was convincingly beaten by jones, and you post this? this may be the dumbest post i have read!

A Hopkins victory over Calzaghe, at this stage of his career, furthers his legacy. And beating Calzaghe is no ordinary feat. But we have to bare in mind that it also depends on how Hopkins wins. A win reminiscent of his victory over Wright isnt going to go over well with a couple people. A win similar to his victory over Trinidad or even Tarver makes a statement. And lets not discount the caliber of fighter that is Calzaghe. Hes a P4Per, top 4 in most lists. A win for either guy cements their respective legacys, but becuz of the intangibles stacking against Hopkins, it would be sweeter for BHOP. Also lets bare in mind the winner of this bout undoubtedly meets Jones, which is a even better fight. This is just my 2 cents. I know boxing.

Yeah I ment prime 4 prime. Roy fought fighters who were much slower than he was and I think people don't truely appreciate how great Hopkins used to be in his prime. How on earth was Jones supposed to fight someone as fast as he was? He fought Hopkins at equal stages in their careers and schooled him, what more proof do you need?

Yeah I ment prime 4 prime. Roy fought fighters who were much slower than he was and I think people don't truely appreciate how great Hopkins used to be in his prime. you do realize that jones beat hopkins convincingly right?

Bernard Hopkins was better than Roy Jones Jr imo. if ur talking prime for prime than ur totally high! no way is bhop ever better than roy prime! right now, yeah he is probably better! ffs

Last time I checked, getting beat by Hopkins doesn't make you a bum. Your missing the point. Last time I checked every fighter becomes a bum after they lose. Look how many turned Hatton into a second tier because Floyd beat him...theres always somthing with every fight.

Dude that is such a selfish comment. You can fight in Europe your whole life and retire as the greatest of all time. Boxing is not just America you know. Opinions like these is why its not that strong around the world. I was mocking the people who have said Calzaghe has fought no one because he has not fought outside of europe. Because those same people will be singing Bernards praises if he beats Joe.

It wouldn't be the biggest upset ever if B-Hop beat Calzaghe...but it would surprise me. As for his legacy..it is already carved in stone,but an upset would make us get a new stone.

I dont mean this in a dissrepectfull way, but I can't wait to see BHOP win & see half the fans on this forum from Wales/UK, either dissapear or come up with excuses. Calzaghe Can def win too, but the posts about BHOP getting KO'd or Widly embarrased/ UD'd are somewhat illogical.

it would really cement his legacy for sure but... dont get it twisted... joe calzaghe is currently an unstoppable man.

bhop will get alot of props if he manages to beat joe at 43 yrs old. that is for damn sure!

no if. he will. watch when it happens. hopkins aint afraid of foulin slaps and hes gonna at least win a decision. best middleweight ever hopkins by ko. then he moves up on my all time list. Well to me Hagler is the best middleweight ever, but Hopkins is Nr.2 or 3.

Will Calzaghe become a bum if Hopkins beats him? Last time I checked, getting beat by Hopkins doesn't make you a bum.

Will Calzaghe become a bum if Hopkins beats him?

no if. he will. watch when it happens. hopkins aint afraid of foulin slaps and hes gonna at least win a decision. best middleweight ever hopkins by ko. then he moves up on my all time list. sorry but roy is better than him for sure.
