    He look great against Calzaghe and Winky.
    He was little tired with Calzaghe cuz Calzaghe pace is 2 much for anyone and they wrestle alot.
    Hopkins looks always the same cuz guy train every day and thats why 43 year old guy woop ass and of course he doesnt take lot of punches,and he doesnt cut much weight.

    Whats your opinion???
    Hopkins and Wright both looked bad when the fought each other. Hopkins and calzaghe also looked bad when they fought.

    and hell no. B-hop is not in his prime but he's not shot either

      Watch the Glenn Johnson fight that was prime Hopkins. He was defensive, but also attacked non stop for 12 rounds and would break his opponents down. Now due to his age he throws a lot les to preserve his energy. Hopkins has been past prime for a while IMO, itys just that he is very skilled and hides it well.

        Why is that?
        A lot of people knew of him before then. Its just the casual fans that didn't see him fight much, because before that fight he was usually on HBO undercards, or headlining ESPN or FOX sports.
