Hopkings couldnt beat Joe calzaghe, beat a bunch of lil guys..overrated!!!!

This dude got beat by taylor (TWICE), Joe Calzahge, that tells be he's not an ATG like you people make him out to be!! Jones beat him with one hand, Oscar was winning after the 8th. he just beat small guys...**** Hopkins!!!

Why is their any shame to losing to Taylor or Calzaghe???... It's not like either one of them were bums.

Joe was past it, Hopkins was past it. I don't see how anyone can base anything on their fight in 2008 because neither was at their best.

Imagine a 1997 Hopkins (that fought Glen Johnson) vs. a 2006 Calzaghe (that fought Lacy). That would be a sick fight.

Younger Hopkins was great to watch. His beating of Johnson, for example. Dude was on fire. He changed his style somewhat a few years ago and had a few stinkers, but so what. Look at the Pavlik fight, that was a great performance, especially considering his age. Give old 'Nard a break, he's been great for the sport and deserves respect.

Right on Samurai, keeping it real. I have nothing to add to those fine posts.

Based on what?

Why does it even matter if he did lose clearly? He was 42 years old who clearly slowed down and joe had an extremely high work rate. 40+ year olds will forever struggle with guys with tremendous work rates (which is why hopkins was the underdog going into the fight and the fight played out exactly as the "experts predicted" (that being it would be a close/competitive fight but the younger calzaghe would win on points do to a high work rate)).

Yeah, prime 36yr old 45 fight veteran Calzaghe moving up in weight, great point.

It's like Lewis haters saying he was in his prime against Rahman, and then supposedly still in his prime like 15 years later against vitali.

Lewis just got caught by Rahman point blank bad technique bouncing off the ropes.....but crushed him in the rematch, he may have been out of prime but it didn't have much to do with it.

Calzaghe is a great fighter and Hopkins was 43 and past his prime.

Hopkins was still able to make it a close fight also.
