    With age you inevitably lose speed and maybe stamina but Hopkins has never had to rely on either of those.

    The Hopkins of the Roy Jones fight might have been a bit more sprightly but was pretty green.

    By the time he fought Calzaghe he had the ring generalship if not the pep.

    I voted for Equal based on that but im starting to go for Calzaghe.

    I would have to say equal. RJJ fought the best physical X but JC fought the best mental X.
