    :deal- although calzaghe was a low money fighter, high risk low reward for hopkins, but still avoided calzaghe

    you think that clinton woods and johnson who has last 14 times does something for calzaghe legacy at a time when he couldn't motivate himself to go back into the gym anymore? :patsch

    theres no low reward about it, hopkins was offered a career high payday in 2002.

    calzaghe would have also been the best win on hopkins entire resume.

    Yeah in that he'd have cleaned out the old guard of the division. Include tarver also.

    so at 36 with calzaghe lacking motivation after a winning streak of lacy, manfredo, kessler, hopkins, jones, you think he should have fought another 4 times till he was nearly 40 against mediorcre opponents like johnson, woods, tarver, and dawson?

    at the most i could have made half a case for calzaghe having one more fight against dawson but considering dawsons complete lack of box office appeal both in britain and america, then you wonder how much money calzaghe could have made for one last push.

    like i say it would be the best win on hopkins entire resume. checkout the huge credit james toney recieves for beating a real eurobum in jirov - now triple that credit for hopkins beating calzaghe.

    Americans would just say hopkins would lose to a eurobum, if he won he would have beaten a euro level champion

    Toney was more famous and hyped than hopkins so his wins were a bit exaggerated,
    Sorry what are we talking about, I cant remember

    This guy speaks a lot of sense. Jones was not as technically proficient as Calzaghe or Hopkins. He just had incredible reflexes.
