    Oh **** off. These damn Calzaghe trolls.
    Calzaghe got dropped twice and barely held on to his precious 0. Then he ran away. Meanwhile Hopkins kept working.

    Hopkins is still going strong and has outlasted every fighter who beat him. Jones, Taylor, Calzaghe and Dawson, what the **** are they doing right now? Nothing. Hopkins is making history while getting paid millions.

    Yes, he should. This time Joe brings the power and stops Hopkins. His hands should be fully healed.

    Hopkins unified LHW titles today. That puts a serious dent into arguments that he was not prime when he faced JoeC.

    :lol:
    And what did Hopkins do at 38? He was the undisputed MW champ. Fast forward 10 years and he still a championship level fighter.

    Actually, Hopkins's continued wins make Roy Jones look better since he;

    1. Fought a young Bernard Hopkins

    2. Won clearly by a wide margin with no dispute

    3. Never got knocked down by an old man

    Calzaghe's win over Hopkins is as relevant as Joe's win over Roy Jones and Hopkins's win over Jones in Hopkins-Jones II. Really not too relevant at all.
