    So he's not 43? He's just making this stuff up now?

    being aged 43 is not an excuse. the 43 years of age are a fact.

    anyone who believes that a 43 year old athlete is still in his prime knows nothing about boxing or sports in general.

    This fight isn't unfair because Hopkins is old. It's unfair because Calzaghe is BETTER than Hopkins. Prime for Prime Calzaghe takes him.

    Roy Jones says Joe would have given him trouble in his prime.

    I bet you think a prime Calzaghe would whoop up on a prime Roy Jones and James Toney too huh? How about a prime God?

    You'll see pal Hopkins is going to wishing he was back in the prison picking up the powdered soap again

    No Toney and RJJ take him. Same way they would take Hopkins

    It doesn't really matter. If people pick Hopkins knowing he's 43 they are have made their bed and come saturday it will be time to lie in it when Joe dominates him

    If the age really is such a factor for the author why is he asking "if" Joe wins. He doesn't exactly sound certain. He's just starting the discrediting game early, there is nothing else to it

    stanley matthews won european footballer of the year at 40

    hopkins beat tarver who simply showed he is a very ood boxer recently.

    to use his age as an excuse is a joke because there is no proof that it has had any effect on him,because joe's style is so much based on speed and workrate i would say that his age is actually more relevant than a defensive counter puncher in hopkins.

    No doubt, in the unlikely event that Calzaghe wins, there will be those who try and discredit Joe for beating an old man.

    LET THE RECORD SHOW, I AM NOT AMONGST THEM!!

    Exactly, Bhop is #1 LHW on his own turf and has come off some good wins. No excuses
