people look back on hopkins win over trinidad like it was nothing and trinidad wasnt ****. you people need to remember that at the time tito was 40-0 and was running thru everybody and was going to fight roy when roy was still roy. he also was a big favorite over hopkins who many didn't give a shot to win. that trinidad was light years better than the 35 year old tito you see today. that win was huge. bigger than anything calzaghe did or will do. kessler didn't have a who's who resume like tito did at the time. you can't compare kessler to that version of trinidad. hopkins resume is overall resume is better as well
Calzaghe announces his key to victory.

Tarver, and yes the 27 year old undefeated trinidad that hopkins faced would have ****ed up eubanks. winky would also beat eubank. glen johnson was undefeated when hopkins stopped him in 97. 11 years later nobody else has stopped johnson. ill bet johnson could have beaten eubank,. or at least went the distance competitively. hopkins won every round against glen, a guy who should have got the decision against a 25 year old champ just the other nightComment

In my opinion both Calzaghe and Hopkins are great men and great champions, but you can't slag ones record off without slagging off the others.Comment

Chris would have done serious damage to Trinidad. Only a fanboy would say otherwise. Eubank was a damn good fighter, and hard as nails.Comment

Lets get real here Joes resume is not as good as Hopkins after the fight should Calzaghe win it will be imo but Tito would get hurt against Eubank who was a huge Middleweight.
What have Tito or Wright done at 160lbs or above to suggest they would beat a great fighter like Chris Eubank who was proven at 160 and 168.Comment
