    Guys,

    Who do you think wins this fight? These fights were arguably when each fighter was at his absolute best. Yes, they were each fighting punchers with limited boxing skills (especially Lacy), but who wins this matchup and why?

    Calzaghe (can't argue with at least an 8 pound weight advantage)

    Hopkins wins an easy decision!
    Calzaghe at his best will still look bad against Hopkins, as do all of his opponents.
    Whereas Hopkins at his best is a lot quicker, brutalizes the body, throws combinations. His defensive moves are still incredible with his faded reflexes. A 36 year old Hopkins would have gave Calzy huge problems.

    People seem to be forgetting that this is a much better Calzaghe. Hell vs Lacy he wasnt even in his prime, take the Mitchel fight as Calzaghe's prime.

    He was much faster, hand and foot, had better reflex's and hit imesurably harder.

    Hopkins gave Tito a true boxing lesson, a steady beat down.
    Love that fight.
