    Dont compare Floyd and Calzaghe.

    Calzaghe barely beat at 43-year old Hopkins that hardely threw any Punches.
    Floyd will fight a 38 year old Shane. If Floyd pulls out a razorthin decision against a Shane that really looks old then the victory can be downplayed. That hasen't happend yet and i don't think it will.

      If Floyd barely wins and looks like ass then he should be criticized.

          Shane is 5 years younger than Hopkins was. Hopkins wasn't coming off two dominant KOs. He was coming off a boring decision vs. Wright.

            I get the fighting Roy criticism but not Hopkins...

            Shane is still a top fighter...
            Anybody criticising Joe for fighting Hop is an idiot, that was the right fight to make

            I didn't like Joe fighting Roy over Kelly though

              Actually, yes I think so. Hopkins was old but he was very much a worthy foe and was the best man in the division at the time.

              Same as Shane is with Floyd.

              The only thing that taints the Calzaghe win over B-Hop is the manner of victory. I thought Hopkins deserved the nod.

                Most people believed hopkins was showing his age against Winky Wright. Let's not forget that. Mosley put on a top notch performance against Margarito.

                  most people thought mosley was showing his age before the margarito fight.

                  hopkins' win over pavlik legitimises the calzaghe fight even more so than mosley's over margarito does the floyd fight in my eyes.

                    For the same space and time Mosley is far better and more dangerous than Bhop , Benard is a great spoiling fighter but power speed is with Mosley and I think its relative above their age similarity , Mosley is and has been competing against the best guys and still knocking them out , Hopkins is frustrating fighters in winning and picking his mark very carefully , Mosley is a very dangerous fight for Floyd , I think its happening because Floyd has finally grown into a WW .
