Calzaghe wasn't the total package when he fought Eubank, he wasn't as professional as he'd later become, by his own admission he found the 12 rounds tough while later, i.e. against Lacy, he looked like he could've done another dozen. So I guess you can attribute much of his comment on the difficulty of that fight purely to Calzaghe. As for Hopkins, it's a bit unfair to just call him an old man, he's still one of the craftiest sons of bitches in the game.
****, did I just defend Calzaghe? My track records going down the toilet.Comment

I didn't say he wasn't old, I said he wasn't JUST old. Saying Why is Calzaghes hardest fights over Old Men (Eubank and Hopkins) is a bit unfair, a bit narrow in scope. That's like me saying, Why is Roy Jones two best victories over a green fighter and a weight drained fighter. Not fair. Not considering variables, circumstances etc. I'm quite aware Hopkins is not the fighter he was. But lets face it, no one has an easy time with Hopkins. Winky Wrights toughest ever fight was probably with Hopkins and he was still an old man there. Doesn't mean ****.Comment

I haven't seen enough of Virchis to bet intelligently, wish I had.
Well, I was just looking for those 3/1 odds against Vitali and had come back here to see if any place in particular was mentioned and read this post of yours. Had me all excited, you did.Comment

You're such a good boy..........
All other bull**** aside, I'm 43 myself, and I'm here to tell you that, while I'm still in good shape, I can definitely say that 43 sure as hell at 38 or even 39. Nothing works as well as it did just a few years ago, and I'm reminded of every injury I've ever had when the weather is a little cool and damp, and for the first hour of every day.Comment
