    Yes he was. Past prime fighters tend to slow down, which he did not. Joe hit his peak in his 30s no one can deny this. Thats like saying Hopkins wasn't in his prime at 36, since it was in their mid 30s when they did their best work.

          Vargas was shot at 29. Age doesnt mean anything in boxing. He was leading all of boxing punches thrown his ass was fighting like a spring chicken.

              I guess Sven Ottke is greater than Tito cuz he is undefeated with over 20 title defenses. And, he fought around the same time in the same weight-class as Calzaghe.

                But at 36?? lol
                Calzaghe was on the same playing field as Hopkins. Yea Hopkins is older but his style has more life in boxing.

                    My responses are made solely to the ones that discredit Calzaghe. I'm not saying Tito isn't a great fighter. Both are great in their own respective ways.

                      Known cheater? Explain to me how cheated against Blocker? Vargas? Reid? Oscar? Camacho? Campas? Carr? Please explain how Tito cheated in those fights?

                      And, don't be a punk and duck this question either...
