    Calzaghe should be P4P best in your eyes and you think pacman should be number two it says a lot. Calzaghe said himself after Hopkins fight that it was his hardest fight, yet you argue that. I don’t understand. I think Calzaghe would know more about how hard the fight is than you

      I hate to break it to you, but he actually said this:

      TV MAN: "Was this your hardest fight?"
      CALZAGHE: "One of my hardest fights"

      Calzaghe has always said, and still says that Eubank was his hardest fight. Sorry.

        Eubank was shot as you can get when calzaghe fought him. calzaghe likes to think slaying older legends makes him look good.

          Eubank was 5 years younger than calzaghe is now when he fought him.

            The winner conceded it wasn't pretty and not the best fight of his career, but added: "I know I won. I fought a really hard fight. I had to let the punches go as the fight wore on. He was very defensive. I was only hurt once. It was the hardest fight of my career. I was a bit rusty at the start. I knew this wouldn't look pretty tonight. In training I concentrated on not rushing it, but I am glad to have landed more punches on Hopkins than anyone else has ever managed. He was awkward. He gave me some big shots. It's icing on the cake for my career. I don't know who my next opponent will but - but I am a legend-killer."
            Joe Calzaghe won a split decision after being knocked down by Bernard Hopkins in the opening round in Las Vegas



            He said Hopkins was his hardest fight
            He said he was hurt once
            He calls himself a legend killer, he must think Hopkins is a legend

                Since all fighters age differently actual age is irrelevant. Since you're ******ed I'll give you an example.

                Bhop is fighting for a title at 44 and he is still very competitive.
                Erik Morales is much younger and done.

                See the difference?

                  Joe C is good, but people in the US will always resent him for waitin so long to come over here and fight bigger fights.
