Calzaghe is way overrated.

The truth is Joe C is really in a no win situation, if he gets beat he will be labled overrated and if he wins they will say he beat on old Bhop. There is not much of an upside here for Joe C. Hopkins is a brand name and even an old Bhop is a live body tricky and crafty as ever. This is the first real test for Joe C againts a proven commodity.

 

Exactly, I got this fight at a 60/40 for Calzaghe, by no means is this going to be easy for him. Hopkins is a seasoned vet who knows all tricks and will fight just as dirty as Calzaghe if not more, but the only gain for Calzaghe win be a ATG on his resume, something he hasnt yet got in his long reign as a WBO champ.

 

This is quite a recurring problem for fighters who havent fought anyone above B level fighters. You can go 100 and 0 and you will be questioned

A big reason why fighters should override their handlers decision and make a big fight happen. It aint hard

As with Joe, Hamed, DM, most Thai fighters...their legacy will always be in question. No fault but their own though

 

If anything Calzaghe was underrated for 95% of his career. Now he's enjoying recognition he should have received earlier.
