With a perfect record and a fight with hopkins on the horizion and maybe even a mega fight against roy jones jr.My question his how will wins over those two legends look on calzaghe resmue at this time and there time in there careers ? I think calzaghe beat hopkins and jones i HATE to say, i think he would out point bhop in a close fight.And roy seems to only fight 50% of the round as were as calzaghe could fight the whole round.If roy cant hurt him kinda early jones would fade and i could see calzaghe winning the last few rounds with little trouble. So now that roy has beat tito and hes filling good about himself an feels he still p4p, i think he would fight the winner of Calzaghe and Hopkins, which i think would be Calzaghe.So how would those names look on his resume this point in time in there careers ?:huh
Wins over two 40 year olds? Not much different then it looks now. Except he'd have alteast have 2 names people heard of on his resume.
The names (Hopkins and Jones) would look absolutely fabulous to the naked eye and to the general public. Both are boxing legends and future hall of famers. However, neither are the best at light heavyweight. I would actually rank Calzaghe higher if he were to beat Hopkins and then Chad Dawson, instead of Roy Jones. Beating Hopkins + Jones gets him in the top 60-70 all time Beating Hopkins + Dawson gets him into the top 50 all time
It would improve his less than stellar resume, but it still wouldnt take away from the fact he never fought these greats in his prime, which I think will hurt him a bit with boxing historians
Start a poll. Seems an ideal solution that way the back slappers can slap in peace & the rest of us can maybe read some interesting threads for a change.:good
