    If Calzaghe get any credit for HOPKINS if he wins?

    Come fight time,
    Hopkins will be 43

    I would expect Calzaghe to win this one.. throwing 1000+ punches would just be to much for b-hop.

    Will Calzaghe get any credit if he beats a 43year old Hopkins?


    I think he should as Hopkins is still one of the best fighters out there today and P4P top 10.
    But I fear that after this fight, people will decommission Hopkins as an Old fighter.

    Yes he will and Hopkins is the best fight for him
    50.98%

    He will NOT get credit and he should fight someone esle (Froch, Pavlik, Bute, Dawson, Abraham)
    9.80%

    He will NOT get Credit, but he should fight Hopkins as people will say he ducked him

      Haters will hate Regardless of what he duz!
      I Dont like the guy at all but he's ****in good! Even if he is Horrible to watch!
      Hopkins is still 1of the best out there so yeah id rate him even higher if he beat him, i agree with ur reasoning why Joe would win by the way although a loss wouldnt shock me!

            He won't throw 1000 punches.

            But Hopkins IS old, no one will forget that fact.

              Unless he wants to fight the young Chad dawson and possibly get Mangled, the best fight for him would be Hopkins or Roy Jones jr.

                  Lacy is explosive fighter with power > and his own aggression worked against him, no excuse he is not a complete boxer.
                  Dawson is the better boxer with power, He would not get outboxed like Lacy
