    Are there any old school figters today? Bernard Hopkins and James Toney are on the way of ending they great careers. Can you see succesors of them in modern boxing? Fighters who fight with the best any time, any place?

    Joe Calzaghe.

    He trains old school. Roadwork, Gymwork and Floorwork. Nothing else.

    He fights old school. Outsmarts his opponents and makes adjusments when neccesary.

    He is always mentally and physically in shape and finds a way to win.

    CLASSIC OLD SCHOOL.

    Old school fighters were always in shape.

    Fat slob Toney, who never does roadwork, cannot be considered old school. He is lazy new school.

    Toney IS old school! He could fight six times a year if only there were fighters worth and willing to face him

    Juan Manuel Marquez is actually old school
    Pacquiao is also pretty old school to be honest.

    James Toney, Bernard Hopkins.. and the list goes on.
