Hopkins proves today how elite he is compared to other fighters of today. As a 43 yr old he proved how skillfull and talented he is compared champions of this era. The only boxer i believe is in his league is jones. hopkins and jones's era produced boxers that are much more elite and skillful then the current champions of today. If you were to compare champions of today compared to 10 years ago the champions of the 90s will easily dominate champions of today. you had mosley dela hoya hopkins, toney,jones, lewis holyfield etc.
Now days we got pavlik calzaghe dawson and the klitsko brothers. The standard of champions in this era is definately lower than last and how can i prove that. Well the old farts of last era are still fighting today and winning.
Btw im refering to junior middle weights and above the lower devisions are fine.
147 tito > marg
140 kostya > hatton
175 roy > dawson
160 bernard > pavlik
201 lennox > wlad
135 mosley > campbell
130 floyd > pacquiao
126 hamed > john
almost every division a decade ago's top man is superior to the top man at the division now.

calzaghe is 36 if you didnt notice.
i think that counts as last era
calzaghe does not have an era. he was an outsider looking in. he will never be spoken about with all the great fighters like hopkins, jones, or toney. no matter how many gift decisions he gets.
no because he only proved himself recently it took ages to fight people outside europe adn there all bums
