    calzaghe was scared of flying on airplanes back then remember. he overcame his fear when hopkins and jones looked beatable. big coincidence i guess.

      I think the more amazing phenomenon is how not only did Jones and Hopkins avoid fights with Calzaghe then, it seems as if every single notable fighter around did as well.

        Very easy pick. Hopkins by KO. BHop lost his power and pressureendurance. He lost some things, but got better in other aspect,which make him special.

        But BHop, one of my favs has lost the fight vs Calzaghe cause of his inactivitity and lack of power. Calzaghe, I once hated him but he is a true ATG, beat him clearly. But it wouldn't be a easy fight and preparation is important. A good gameplan is a must. On these elite-quality everything is possible.

        By the way, imo, if Calzaghe would have boxed in the US or would have trained in the US. he would be a far better fighter. Never forget this. Hate makes people blind. If these ATG get better with the years and learn the sweat science, why should it be just for theire older years of activity?

          Calzaghe practically was in his prime and he could barley beat Hopkins how would he do it If Hopkins was much younger? There isn't a gay slap fast enough for Calzaghe to win.
