I don't know if your'e 90 years old, you certainly look like it but McCallum wasn't 90 years old. Let me tell you who.

James Toney(undefeated)
Bernard Hopkins
Virgil Hill
Antonio Tarver
Eric Harding(yeah, the same Harding coming off a win over Tarver)
John Ruiz
Clinton Woods
Felix Trinidad
Glen Kelly(undefeated)
Gonzalez(undefeated)
Griffin(undefeated coming off a win over Toney)
McCallum(was for the #1 spot to fight for the WBC title)

And many others.

If you're trying to hint that he's considered one of the greatest of his generation and definitely a serious force in boxing with insane abilities for nothing then you must have issues with your eyes. Add Olympic Gold medalist to boost, the finals was a robbery and I sure as hell hope you agree with that at least.

Calzaghe's biggest wins:

Jones(Yeah, a 39 year old version, or in your world a 90 year old and the same guy you're trying to make look like a nobody or an overrated guy, guess what?, he's possibly the biggest name on his resume :rofl)
Hopkins(43 year old version, in your world that must be 144 years old)
Lacy
Kessler
Eubank(coming off two losses to Collins and a few wins over cans in 10 rounders and clearly at the end of his career who went on to lose twice to Thompson then retire)

Compare that with Jones' resume and proceed to look into the nearest mirror.

Malinga (Beat Benn/Reid)
Reggie Johnson(then IBF)
Del Valle (then WBA)
Eric Lucas (didnt Kessler get to him a decade later?)
Otis Grant (wormer WBO middleweight champ)

I think Jones beat 16 world Champs in his 1st 49 fights....he was Undefeated for 49-50 fights excluding his DQ.

Joe beat 8 world champs in his 1st 47 fights. and held a minor world championship...great fighter though

It's pretty obvious... He's in a desperate situation he was not in back in his heyday. He has to be more willing to bend if he wants certain fights.

If he wants money, then the biggest possible fight he could get is BHOP, the stars have all aligned it's time for Hopkins, he knows it's the biggest paycheck too, is he that scared of bernard?

Scared of a guy he beat? I take it you aren't familiar with their prior negotiations on a rematch?
