Hopkins hit his prime in his later years, he was old when he fought trinidad too.

Damn, imagine a prime Calzaghe. Don't act like all of Hopkins wins didn't come after he turned 36. His resume was so crap when he fought Trinidad, that he was a 6 to 1 underdog, despite Tito fighting 2 weight classes above his best weight.
