If Jones beats Hopkins and Kessler beats Froch....

Bernard Hopkins is still a magnificent fighter, even now he is 45. His dismantling of Kelly Pavlik in late 2008 was simply a masterclass in boxing.

Joe Calzaghe will never be considered 'Great'. Never. His legacy is shitt. if calzaghe was african ameican you haters wouldn't be saying that.

I tend not to like whiteboys, but I don't mind Joe Calzaghe. Not many guys have been World Champion for well over a decade and retired undefeated. Also, for him to unify his division, then go and win a World title at Light-Heavyweight against the great Bernard Hopkins (long before Bernard destroyed Kelly Pavlik) is kinda impressive.

The LHW divison wasnt exactly loaded either there was Jones, Tarver and Johnson and not much else. There where other guys to, Montell Griffin, Virgill Hill, Gonzales, Michalchewski. Joe could have fought Johnson several times but backed out. Bottom line is first he let Roy clean up the division then he let Johnson, Tarver, Hopkins fight each other for what was left when Roy was gone. At last he decided to fight 43 year old Hopkins (which is by far the biggest risk he took in his career) and 40 year old Roy. Joe could have moved up earlier, he could have sought out fights, there where even good fighters in Europe to fight if he didn't wanna go to America. He choose to stay at home and at SMW. Maybe Joe could have been great but he didn't wanna make the fights. It's his loss.

Calzaghe is gonna look like the MAN! true story :) Why? Jones is shot and Hopkins is at least 10 years past his prime. Kessler already lost to Ward more convincingly than he did to Calzaghe.

roy jones is the poster boy of washed up fighters, hopkins has shown aging since before his fight with calzaghe too. anything they do is irrelevant to calzaghe at this stage. kessler beating froch proves a bit, but not much considerig how he got schooled by ward. if kessler somehow wins the whole tourney or atleast a couple of fights that makes joe look good though. most consider froch trash anyways and hes tailor made for kessler so him alone doesnt mean much.

if jones beats hopkins... :lol1: that is all.

Calzaghe is the man who spent twelve years in at SMW while the greats of his generation fought in other divisions and sought out challenges. He will always be remebered as the lesser man and nothing will ever change that. Jones, Toney, Hopkins >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Calzaghe. Still a wbo smw belt is better then no belt at all and he can always talk about being undefeated.

I disagree. Kessler beating Froch doesn't make any difference to Calzaghe's resume. It doesn't change the fact that in his fight previous, he got totally outboxed for 11 rounds by a fighter he was supposed to beat. Froch's style is very similar to Andrade's who is a fighter Kessler dominated a few years ago. Kessler is the favourite against Froch also. Jones beating Hopkins means shit all either as Hopkins is 45. Hopkins could get old at anytime. Jones is way past it as well, which was clear with his recent KO loss in 1 round against journeymen Danny Green.

Calzaghe is gonna look like the MAN! true story :) Maybe....but i doubt hopkins will lose....im rooting for hopkins to win...but i do wanna see froch waste kessler

Kessler is expected to beat Froch. Kessler has already failed to meet expectations by getting rolled by Ward. Calzaghe's win over Kessler has lost a lot of its luster already. If Jones beats Hopkins, or vice versa, I don't think it does much to Calzaghe's wins over either. Jones is shot to death already. If Hopkins wins, who didn't expect that? If Jones wins, then age has caught up with Hopkins (finally).

if hopkins loses to a guy who just got laid out in 5 seconds vs danny green that would make calzaghe's gift decision over him that much worse. it wouldn't make his roy jones win any better cause everyone knows he is completly shot.

I've already predicted kessler takes froch out in 4 rounds. got a bet on it with earlhickey. froch is beyond tailor made for kessler. froch will be getting hit from the first bell at a high consistency. and ya cant do that with kessler unless your librado andrade.

How????? I still dont get it. Kessler just lost 12-0 to Ward and Hopkins is still pushing 50 years old. Hopkins beat Pavlik after Calzaghe beat him showing Hopkins is still up with the best. If Jones beats Hopkins he shows was still competitive late in his career when he fought Calzaghe. If Kessler beats Froch he demonstrates Froch isn't on Joe's level. I'm not sure all this will happen, but I'll laugh if it does.

Calzaghe is gonna look like the MAN! true story :) How????? I still dont get it. Kessler just lost 12-0 to Ward and Hopkins is still pushing 50 years old.
