    Ffs a 44 year old Hopkins beat a prime Calzaghe in the eyes of press row.
    Hopkins was hopelessly outclassed in that fight and started faking injuries to save himself from embarrassment. Bernard fell apart mentally when Zags started getting better, not worse after the knock down.

    I personally think that 2008 Hopkins is superior to the young Hopkins so with that Calzaghe beats both.

    Young Roy vs Zags would be an interesting fight. Its a toss up for me.

      You guys make me laugh. Hopkins gets outworked like he did back in 2007. What is he really going to do different this time around? Also if the ref was half decent than Hopkins would of lost that fight by a landslide the guy was allowed to hit and hold, headbutt and fake low blows.

      EDIT:I have to laugh at some of you guys bringing up Glen Johnson like the Bhop vs Johnson fight can be used as some kind of indicator for how a Calzaghe Hopkins fight would go.

      • hopkins got outworked because he was 40

        wondering why hopkins won the first couple of rounds? he even suddenly started beatin the **** outta calzaghe again after taking a break(due to the lowblow)

        all hopkins needed was more energy, in other words, to not be old as ****

          Hopkins still gets outworked, his fighting a guy who throws up to 100 punches per round, who has superior handspeed so his gouing to have a hard time countering his punches.

            He barely got "outworked" in his mid-40's. A young Hopkins threw as many punches per round as did Calzaghe.

            • He'd still be trying to sc**** himself up off the canvas today.

                  Also his defense was better than than it is not. People just say his defense is better now because he has slowed down his offense a lot so his defense is more noticeable. Also by outworked if they mean missing punches then he would be missing all night, and assaulted with clean shots, lots of them.

                    Joe cortez was just shocking in that fight, If he had clamped down on Hopkins hit and hold tactics then the outcome of that fight would be very different.
