    What happens if Calz has gotten old over night

    What happens if Calz has gotten old over night ? i remember a while back how many people were predicting Shane Mosley to beat Miguel Cotto many people said Cotto would get KTFO aswell

    Mosley looked visibly shot IMO ,Cotto was able to tee off on him and Mosley could not react quick enough to counter due to his age his reflexes had slowed down

    people look at Roys Speed and think he has still got this left and that left but its not speed u need at this stage of your career its reflexes ,Mosley still looks quick but he gets hit more now days same as Oscar did against Forbes ,however if Joe has slowed down or got old over night we could see a very competitive fight ,Joe did not look great at all against Hopkins and was dropped while people wil say Hopkins made him look bad that is down to interpretation

    I would assume he gets KO.

      It is near impossible to look great against Hopkins!

        Mosley looked aged, he didn't look shot.

        If Calzaghe has gotten old overnight it'd make the fight much more interesting and nobody looks good against Hopkins, Hopkins can make anyone look bad in a boxing ring.

          If Mosley is shot then I guess Cotto must be ranked somewhere between #40 and #25 because their fight was competitive IMO.

            Joe doesn't seem like the type to continue any further than necessary. When he is shot he will accept it and retire soon after.

              i think the most important thing is his reflexes were shot thats why Cotto was able to land right hands on him and slide underneath him or off to the side before Mosley could even react

              i think Calz getting tagged against Hop could be down to a little bit of age creeping in im not saying he is shot but maybe he could be on the slide or right at the top of the hill rather than over it

                Roy is older than Calzaghe and not as active and he has been exposed many a time so i really can't see Roy winning this at all.

                I liked Roy back in the day but he has carried his career on way too far.

                  that my point though Mosley was still able to make a competitive fight outta it which leads me to believe in his prime he would of beaten Cotto for sure

                    Hopkins was not as active either but still made a split decision out of it.If Jones comes to this fight at 50% of what he was then I say he has a good chance.Especially if he is on the juice.Jones=50% Juice=50%=100%
