To all Calzaghe fans... I apologize

I had a very similar experience with Calzaghe in the past few months also. I didn't have the same knowledge about the SMW division and its history that I have about most of the other divisions, so I was quick to dislike Calzaghe just because some Americans that I know hated him. After learning more about him and other mid 90's-now SMW's, I have gained great respect for him and have grown to like him after watching a lot of documentaries about his life. Casual boxing fans in America are usually ignorant when it comes to European boxers and the general dislike that they have for Calzaghe is silly. He has a fast style that is a pleasure to watch and elite skills to go along with it, plus he is tough as hell and has underrated heart. If he was American, he would be a superstar. When he beats Kessler this Saturday, he deserves to be regarded as the #2 ATG SMW after Jones. I can't wait for a possible Dawson-Calzaghe matchup also.

however it worries me that calzaghe is coming to the age where he will be past it.

Don't hold your breath there. If Calzaghe beats Kessler I expect him to fight Hopkins at light heavyweight.

That would be a pretty meaningless match at this point and the last thing I would want to see. Hopkins is one of my favorite fighters and I don't want to see him get destroyed by someone who is still great, unlike Bernard who is just an old great looking for a little bit of an added legacy and big money. Hopkins should try to fight Ibragimov or Chagaev and then retire.
