[Dan...]

True. The difference between the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight and the Hopkins/Taylor fights is that Hopkins came on strong in the second half of both fights with Taylor, while Hopkins struggled and had to buy time to make it to the finish with Calzaghe.

This is all true, but you're leaving out that Hopkins came on strong the first half against Calzaghe, and faded in the second. Bernard only fights for about six rounds, it was just a difference of which six he fights.

I think he thought he could stun Joe early, whereas against Taylor his strategy was to let him gas out and then lay into him.

I second this message!

Yeah but the debate isn't between the careers of Pavlik and Calzaghe. I was just weighing up how I think Pavlik would have faired against Joe's resume.

Well that was the debate with that Hitman fellow. Im getting it from all corners tonight. I feel like bzrispacs mum.

Terrible. Much like your boxing knowledge.

Please tell us more about why Roy and Joe are "equally past their best".

Once more a thread about Jermain Taylor, winds up talking about Joe... Imagine that.

He was nowhere near as strong in the first 6 - it was more like 4 - against Calzaghe as he was in the last 6 against Taylor.

He caught Calzaghe cold which made Joe more cautious early on, rather than Hopkins more strong. He knocked Joe down and still didnt press the issue.

Whereas he had Taylor hurt and staggering all over the ring late on.

People underestimate how much better Calzaghe was at making Hopkins feel the pace and feel his age. Taylor, Winky and Tarver werent able to make him use his legs nearly enough.

You could look at it that way.

Or you could say that Calzaghe did better than Taylor against Hopkins. And Taylor was over a decade younger than Calzaghe when he fought Hopkins.

what in the hell does Taylor being younger than Calzaghe have to do with how big of a challenge Pavlik is compared to Jones...?

and Calzaghes prime was inbetween the Lacy and Kessler fights. thats when he looked his best, and Ive seen plenty of his fights. I think hes going to go downhill soon, because hes getting to the age where all fighters start to go downhill no matter who you are, but as of now hes not incredibly far from his prime. If he wants to get some big fights in, he needs to do it now.
