Calzaghes legacy is growing greater by the day

Didnt need to. Joe was 37 and at the end. People would have said the same about Dawson as they do Lacy. But if Hopkins beats Pascal it looks all the better, and if not Joe beat Kessler, who beat Froch, who beat Pascal, who beat Dawson.. Like I said, all wins come back to Joe

 

Toney was a CW before Joe even won his first world title atsch.

Consider Jones & Toney were at HW around the time Joe fought B MItchell. It wasnt of interest, and Joe wasnt on the radar at that time (understandably)

Hopkins wouldnt fight Joe. Everyone knows this, Joe offered to go to America and Hopkins was offered a massive pay day, but turned it down to fight Hakkar for much less money.
Joe beat Hopkins sandwiched between Hopkins best wins . Hopkins knew he wouldnt win and took the fight when he had all the advantages like making someone fight at a new weight and still lost

 

Hopkins was shot when P4P #3 and Ring LHW champ when Joe beat him atsch scoring his best wins over Tarver, Wright and Pavlik .

So your not looking forward to Hopkins fight with Pascal then and obviously werent one of the ones who wanted Hopkins to have a return with Joe then.
Would you consider this even older version of Hopkins shot if he beats Pascal who beat Dawson?

 

Exactly. Joe was the champ and man of the duivision, but still when Joe said he would go to America, Hopkins backed out

 

Of course he wont atsch.
Kessler is considered a better fighter than those guys and Joe beat the undefeated version of him who beat Froch, who beat Dirrell who beat AA.
Still. Abraham is a former MW champ whos big win is who? And has limited SMW resume.
Froch beaten by Kessler
Dirrell KOd by AA and beaten by Froch and hasnt even achieved as much as Veit or Mkertchyan even
Bute well if you look at his resume its arguable that Lacys resume with Vanderpool, Tyspko, Reid, Sheika, Pemberton, Manfredo is possibly better.

But that list dosent compare to
Eubank bigger name and more accomplished than the above
Kessler (undefeated champ)
Lacy (undefeated champ)
B Mitchell (2 time WBA champ and never clearly beaten until he met Joe) who has done more at SMW than AA, Dirrell and is arguable to Froch
Reid done more at SMW than AA, Dirrell. Reid was considered desperately unlucky against Ottke arguably the 2nd best SMW ever
Woodhall done more at SMW than AA & Dirrell

Not to forget all the other fighters he beat
Veit done more at SMW than Dirrell or AA
Mkertchyan done more at SMW than Dirrell or AA
Brewer
Sheika
Manfredo
Bika
Starie


46-0 Ring WBO 21 defences, WBC WBA IBF takes some doing

 

So Hopkins backed out of fighting Joe in America for a big purse years ago because???
