    Better resume on their 36th birthday, Calzaghe or Hopkins?

    On the date of their 36th birthday, who had a better resume, Calzaghe or Hopkins. People want to compare their resumes, but they are clearly not at the same stage in their careers. Wins only please.

    Hopkins, won IBF title vs Segundo Mercado, defended it 12 times.

    Calzaghe, won WBO title vs Chris Eubank, defended it 21 times, won IBF title vs Jeff Lacy, defended it once, won WBA and WBC titles vs Mikkel Kessler.
    34
    Joe Calzaghe
    70.59%
    24
    Bernard Hopkins
    29.41%
    10

    The poll is expired.

        Exactly, but judging by the fact that he was a 6 to 1 underdog when he faced Trinidad (after Bernard turned 36,) his resume wasn't exactly stellar up to that point, especially considering that Tito was by far his best at WW.

            I see a green, untested Glen Johnson, but I don't recognize anyone else on Hopkins' resume, help me out, please.

              Okay, but then it will be a shutout in favour of Calzaghe.
