Jones Jr-Calzaghe-Hopkins

He wasn't 38 when he first lost to Taylor - he was 40.

Some of his best wins have been past 40 but your kidding yourself if you think that's his prime in terms of combination of physical ability and ring IQ. He hit his prime later then a lot of fighters but I'd say it was around his mid-thirties.

don't know why Calzaghe is in the discussion

 

chin - calzaghe..hopkins................................................................................jones

ability to fight in adversity - calzaghe......hopkins..............................................jones

ability to adapt during a fight - calzaghe.......hopkins.........................................jones

head to head - calzaghe..................................................................jones / hopkins

 

After losing to Jones at the age of 28, Hopkins then went unbeaten for then next 12 years, but according to the experts on here this wasn't Hopkins prime

No, according to these people Hopkins actually hit his prime when he hit his 40's and started losing fights for the first time in over a decade

 

How does Calzaghe have a better chin than Hopkins :think

 

Cause it was the first time he had stepped up higher than blown up WWs and guys with 10 losses on their record, Look at when Calzaghe stepped up? He dominated the young American, he dominated the young European, he dominated the older ATG American.

Hopkins? Lost to the young American, lost to the near retiring European, had issues with the young Canadian, had issues with the older (decrepid, corpse) of RJJ

 

The same I don't know about that ..I beleive Calzaghe was dropped more times in his career yet Hopkins was down for the first time against Pascal ..And Jones had a great chin it kills me to hear such nonsense when he didn't get dropped until he killed his body ..
