    Hopkins isn't all that, I hate when people bring up his bull**** ass age. He gets away with cherry picking.
    tell me another 44 year old fighter you could pick to beat up the linear champ of fighters from 3 weight classes?

    Go ahead take your time.

      also you keep claiming calzaghe was landing punches but you really should watch it again cause he was barely landing anything.
      I've watched that pos fight twice. I'm not watching it anymore thanks to Borenard. No wonder the Pavlik fight tanked in PPV.

        He still put an asswhooping on Jones. He even was showing off and made Jones made ****** like Jones did to police officers back in the day.

          He almost got KTFO by Jones, he knew Hopkins would come for his heart in a rematch, and that Dawson wouldn't let him use him as a slapping bag like Jones did.

              I give him props for him taking care of himself though but I still think he's overrated.

                lol Tito was a WW fighting at 160.

                  Calzaghe would beat the crap out of Dawson. I like Dawson and all but he would lose to Calzaghe.

                  LOL @ he almost got KTFO by Jones. Far from it.

                    yea tarver sucks now just like muhammad ali sucks now. but if you didn't notice he was the best light heavy at the time and has a very good resume when you clear the hate from your pores.

                      Don't know, didn't happen. What I do know Calzaghe made him look ****** when they fought.
