Calzaghe's opponents average age for 2008

why are you comparing a fighter who has never cemented himself on the world stage against a fighter who has been the best at his weight division but never crossed the pond to fight the best fighters of his era in their prime?

 

calzaghe will be 37 in march, he beats hopkins and then hopkins goes on to beat so called hot stuff kelly pavlik yet people still slate joe for beating an old hopkins.
the poor bloke cannot win whatever he does, just face facts that calzaghe is absolute class!!!!!

 

then why are people still raising the question about an undefeated world champion?

the reason is that he never wanted to fight jones or hopkins in theoir prime.

there's a good reason for that.

 

How many ****ing times do you need to see it proven to you that Hopkins ducked Calzaghe in 2002 ?

Go back and look at the post I responded to.

 

lets see the reumes when chad is 36? I think his may just squeak by JC's by a wee bit?

 

1) Most of the people who still question him are the same ones who pick against him in every fight and then would rather dis that same competition than give the guy who beat them credit, leading you to think he's beat up nothing but one legged civil war veterans.

2) Joe's not the one that backed out of an agreed deal in 02-03 - Hopkins was.

 

Interesting record.
