    is there any other fighter who has looked as good at 35 as joe? I know BHop is still at the top aged 40 odd but he had been beaten before and was not beating young undefeated fighters?

    That should have said has in the title btw, dodgy keyboard doh

      Hopkins looked better at 36 then Calzaghe at 35. Trinidad was undefeated at 40-0 when hops beat him at that age.

            I think hes looking for everyone to say "Joe Calzaghe looks better than Roy Jones Jr at the age of 35"

              he's not going to get that. people age differently. plus calz never went up to heavyweight, won a belt, then dropped back down.

                Mike McCallum fought to a draw with an undefeated James Toney at around 35.
                Toney himself was beating the undefeated Vassily Jirov at around 35 at Cruiserweight
                Hopkins was around his prime at 35, I think he was that old or older when he schooled Trinidad.

                those are some other Middleweights, anyway

                  Roy also was superman at 35, depends on the month
                  Calzaghe looked bad against Hopkins at 36 ( well, a lot of guys look bad against Hopkins)
