You are in your prime when you achieve your biggest and most impressive wins.
The biggest and most impressive wins in Hopkins career were Tarver (just before Joe) and Pavlik (Just after Joe)
Calzaghe has already fought a prime B Hop, and guess what?
Prime Hopkins didn't beat Calzaghe.Comment

When was Hopkins' prime? When he was losing convincingly to Jones or being decked twice by Mercado? At age 43, after fighting Calzaghe, he pulled out his best ever performance.PRIME Hopkins would UD Calzaghe he would pick holes in Calzaghe defence and paint his face with right hand counter punches ironically enough Calzaghe has been capatalising on the old age of Jones,Hopkins because of their age but Hopkins in his prime is one of the best conditioned fighters ive ever seen the intensity he could stustain was unreal Hopkins was a 15 round fighter in his prime
i hear Ricky say Hopkins was not as slick in his prime,a question for you then Ricky when have you seen Hopkins take a solid shot post Mercado 1,2 ?thats right you dont have an answer cause he does not take solid shots and never really has post Mercado 1,2 where he changed his style and become more patient defensive etc,by contrast Calzaghe has been hit solidly by Eubank,Reid,Jones,Hopkins,Kessler,Mitchell and guess what mostly by the right hand and whats Hopkins best punch ?the right hand and even more so against Southpaws all the Southpaws he has fought he landed his right hands over and over again
Hopkins was also an underrated puncher to especially with that laser like right hand and left hooks to the body he is also very good inside and very dirty but the thing is he frustrates oponents with that dirty infighting and he gets them outta their game plan its not always pretty IE Keith Holmes but its effective
Hopkins is to smart for the wide open Calzaghe and a Hopkins that can work at the pace Nard used to be able to would beat Calzaghe by UD imoComment

Whoops, we have a contender for that one.
You're right. I mean, there's no way Hopkins' prime may have been in that FOURTEEN YEAR PERIOD you just pretended didn't exist.Comment

These clowns don't know a thing about Hopkins' between his fight with Jones and Tito.
And they're the SAME clowns who'll say, "You Yanks never watched Calzaghe in his prime when he was really good!"Comment
