He took on all comers like a man no matter how old he was. Calzaghe can never say the same thing! Now he wants to fight Roy Jones and retire Like I said I'll take Hopkins career any day of the week!
    "hypeass"asian. We call that "chigga" around here.

      Hopkins made Calzaghe look like a bum for the whole fight, even when Joe started winning rounds after the halfway stage he still looked poor, Hop just ran out of steam. Joe's no tactical master, he was clueless to come up with a strategy to even pin Hopkins down, this fight was supposed to be his grand coronation, instead he managed to snatch a contraversial decision against an ageing legend.

        2-4 against elites of his own size?

        You must be including Jermain Taylor and Antonio Tarver

        Sorry, but Taylor and Tarver are NOT elites and never were.

          Well Tarver is two-time undisputed LHW champ. I give Hopkins credit for that, and consider it his best win.

          Taylor for all his flaws is former undisputed MW champ of five successful defenses. That's good enough

                Hopkins has made a career of beating up on little folk.
                his biggest wins were against little folk lol
                Oscar,tito and winky take those 3 little folk out of the bully hopkins record and the only decent one his had is tarver

                      Yes, Tarver is Hopkins best win.

                      His title defenses were against smaller and hand-picked opponents.
