i think Calzaghe should beat Hopkins convincingly if he fights his best but i'm worried Hopkins is being underestimated.. i reckon he still has it in him to make this a difficult fight
He will be one of the best but he definitely won't be the p4p king at any point and I expect him to suffer a few defeats during his career. I can actually see his career panning out a bit like Hatton's.
nah he's way more talented than Hatton and a lot less likable.. i doubt he'll ever be p4p king.. but should be top 10 one day aslong as he doesnt get exposed once he steps up a class in opponents
Joe Calzaghe is a lot better than Ricky Hatton and Hopkins is as old as moses and never remotely as good as PBF. I don't see any kind of comparisons.
basically...
the only comparison is that theyre both British going over to USA to fight high profile American fighters
Calzaghe is already an all-time British great so he will always have a legacy over here. I can't really comment on America 'cos i dont know how he's viewed there but if he does lose then it really shouldnt be held against him too much, although it will definitaly be a blemish on his record
i wouldn't mind this happening if Floyd took more than 1 fight a year, but seeing as he doesn't really do that anymore i'd rather he fought someone better
if Jones beat Calzaghe then the top 10 p4p list should be reshuffled a little and some of the underrated smaller fighters should get more recognition
(aswell as give Jones the props he would deserve)
