    No...didn't I just say that the dude was almost 40? Not everybody functions well at those ages in boxing.
    Then why do you consider Roy a good win for Joe??? Roy's win over Tito is the same thing, Tito was totally irrelevant as a top fighter when Roy beat him.

        don't try to get high and mighty

        it's impossible to have a "decent discussion" about Calzaghe with Americans

        They HATE him

          Hopkins was still very good when he was in with Joe, not shot like Ali when Berbick fought him.

          Let's not forget B-Hop schooled the then-highly-regarded Kelly Pavlik afterwards, and later defeated Jean Pascal, one of Froch's best wins.
          I agree with this. Hopkins was still a good win cause he still remained relevant after fighting Joe where Roy didn't.

            Yeah, Tito coming off a 3 year lay off and hadn't won a fight in longer than that.

            No one thought Roy Jones had anything left in the tank at this point.

                I didn't say anything about Bernard Hopkins.

                My post was referring to Roy Jones Jr and I only mentioned age in response to that poster who brought up the age of Trevor Berbick.

                You can't

                  Yep, absolutely despise him and it's funny the things they say and do to cover up the fact he was an excellent fighter.

                      That's one way of putting it. Now name the fighters they beat and what stage of their careers they beat them in.
