Hopkins didn't show his age....

[x-PeROxiDE-x]

Hopkins put in possibly his best performance of his career last night, all things considered. He looked in tremendous physical shape and didn't gas as easily as I thought he would, although he did a little. Hopkins fought better against Joe than he did against Taylor, and at that point he wasn't 43, so all this "But Hopkins was 43" bull**** stops here, Joe Calzaghe is, and always was, better than Bernard Hopkins.

hopkins beat, and he'd beat cal prime for prime too, how can you say hopkins is his prime? because he's in good shape, if his punch output was 30 punches+ per round he'd have beaten cal even worse.

i dont think it was age, joe style would have had always beaten B-Hop

Hopkins didn't beat Joe. Joe is, and always was, the better fighter of the pair.

He didn't do much the entire fight and still seemed very tired towards the end. He probably dedicates himself to training and correct diet ten times more than someone like Ricky Hatton, but the fact is that age is sometimes more important than all of that.

A guy in his 20s can cut corners and get away with it. A guy aged 43 can do everything right and it won't be enough, because at the end of the day he is still 43.

He showed he was tired when he bought time faking the low blow .. I don't know for a fact that he faked it but thats what it looked like .. Other than that he looked good.

how blind are u? Key word being looked ! in shape but he wasnt lol he got so tired in the last half he needed 4 mins to recover from phantom low blows.
