Joe was never P4P number 1.
I recall him being top 5 on the list though.

joe calzaghe beat hopkins by split decision, 37 vs 42 years old, a split decision with those ages in that fight only increases hopkins legacy. A very similar version of what happened with old de la hoya vs mayweather, the same case of old lennox vs vitali. My opinion is that a respectable fight should be vs a boxer from 24 to 32 years old, besides i think that if a really ancient boxer from lets say 38 years old beats a boxer from 24 to 32 it almost ever says a lot and there should be no rematch. In the case calzaghe hopkins 37 to 42 is a huge difference, more than it it had been 32 to 37 i think. No discrimination to hopkins being an age freak but he now trains way harder

Joe Calzaghe was my P4P number 1 and is quite clearly the greatest fighter in the history of the universe. Mayweather? Ali? None of those fuckers could throw a hundred punches a round and then snort a line of coke in the corner.

:vd: its always funny when a kid gives his opinion , but hey we all have our own idea's.
As for will it happen again , the answer is yes , if your promoter has a large roll of cotton wool , and you fight guys in their forties , or club fighters.
