    a better question to ask is... 10, or 15 years into each of their careers, who accomplished more...

    picking an age doesnt work because they started their careers at different ages

      Name one big name fighter on Johnson's resume when he fought Hopkins. I'll make it easier, name a CONTENDER on Johnson's record up till then. And how many titles had Glen won by then (hint, ZERO). Only 6 of Glen's opponents up till then weren't coming off of losses.

      According to you, Clinton Mitchell should be an ATG, because he beat an undefeated Bernard Hopkins.

        You still don't get that your poll question sucks. It holds no weight in comparing the two fighters.

          Because Hopkins had only been a pro for 13 years by then?

            Hopkins didn't blow up big until he beat Felix. Then years later he had Oscar, Tarver, and Winky. With the Eubank fight yeras behind him, Joe C blew up when he beat Lacy in '06 then Kessler last year. Both had long reigns but not a lot of names on their lists until recent memory. Edge goes to Joe C.

              Real original with the bottles. What are you 5?

              You just simply can't use age when two people started boxing at different points in their lives. I'm sorry that you were unable to "expose" Bernard. Now keep it movin.

                No one is "exposing" Bernard. He was a late bloomer that will likely make it into the HOF. But to crap on Calzaghe's resume when he's not done yet and compare it to a 7 year older fighter is not exactly fair either, comprende?

                      Yeah I understand you want to beat the whole Calzaghe/Hopkins resume thing right into the ground. WTF is the point? They fight in 48 hours.
