He might not have beaten everyone on Hopkins' resume Hopkins beat at the same age Hopkins beat them, had he been a big MW, like Hopkins. We know what Calzaghe is like at 36...we don't know and cannot assume what he would be like at 40+.
johnson and Tarver are so overrated it is unbeleiveable. johson is a solid operator at world level but not elite and same goes for Tarver, they caught RJJ at the right time. Look at the losses of johnsons record! Joe has a easy night with him!
Yes, and Mikkel Kessler and Chris Eubank are better than Robin Reid and they came nowhere close to beating him...
Robin Reid at his best was a very very good fighter. And he fought Joe at his chosen weight, he wasnt some blown up welter. I'd like to see Hopkins beat todays Reid one handed let alone the one from back then.
Hopkins got dropped by some goat farmer in Columbia, who cares You just made a tit of yourself, by stating a number of B class fighters have a realistic chance of beating Joe. Your analysis of fighters is clearly **** poor, you wouldn't know Roy Jones from Anthony Mundine
Noob. Henry Cooper kncked down Ali, ali had many easy night with many fighers superior fighters than Cooper. Heres a tip you should take with you, boxrec want teach you everything.:hi:
great argument that :good old man river got put on his arse twice and had to scrape a draw with the mighty segundo mercado. OH NOES!!! HE TEH SUCKS!!!!1111ONEONE11
It's irrelevant because Hopkins started boxing later than Joe did. It's also irrelevant because fighters age differently. The question is how Joe would do if he took Hopkins' career path instead of his own up until now. The only loss would be to Jones. People suggesting Taylor being a hard fight for Calzaghe!:rofl On the flipside, I firmly believe Hopkins loses to Kessler if he fought Kessler as the post-2000 version. The pre-2000 version, like the one against Johnson, beats Kessler.
