RJJ was 4 years removed from the KO loss to Tarver in their rematch and Hopkins was 44 years old when Calzaghe finally decided to fight him.




I'm sorry Calzaghe fans, but just as people say "Well Ricky Hatton wouldn't have done that to a Prime Kostya Tszyu" Joe wouldn't have been able to beat either RJJ or Bernard in their primes and guess what......he had ample opportunity to fight both of them in their primes, and he CHOSE not to.
Rjj i am not so sure how he would do against Calzaghe but i feel Hopkins and Calzaghe are very close fight i mean look at some of guys gave Hopkins trouble at mw. I mean if look at who they fought Hopkins comp was the same as Calzaghe expect he beat blown up welter weights with name value. Then there was Taylor who he lost to so Hopkins and Calzaghe are on par with each other as far as i can see you do not like Calzaghe because he fought in his country. I used to feel the same i am from Cali and that makes me from US last time i checked our fighters never leave our state either.
