Yeah I know. I answered the question
Hopkins was 43 years old at 175. Jones was also at 175 and 39 years old, after getting KO'd by Glen Johnson & Antonio Tarver in 2 rounds.
We're discussing 168 and 160 respectively.charliepaerker tonysoprano like this.

Golovkin by a mile. Calslappy was fighting every bum he could find for a decade. He even fought the same bum twice.

Let’s be honest Carl Froch had a much better resume of opponents than the bum-killer Calslappy. And he fought them Overseas unlike the Welsh slapper.charliepaerker Shadoww702 like this.
