I don't care if Calzaghe get's to a 100-0. He's not that great. He's just lucky that there’s not a dominant fighter at his peak near his weight division. There is not a Mayweather or Cotto or a Pacquiao. The fact is he barely eked out a decision against a 43 Hopkins is not a sign of greatness. Imagine what a 33 year old Hopkins would have done to him ? Would Calzaghe have beaten a peak James Toney ? Roy Jones ? Nigel Benn ? Gerald McClellan ? I'm not so sure.

To be honest if it came to a close decision than Hopkins would lose regardless. Boxing needs to protect their assets. Brits are acquainted to having "their champs" get destroyed by fighters from the states and they couldn't allow a 40+ old boxer from the states beat a young British fighter. Also boxing elitists are in a state of shock of the growth of MMA. That's why they can't allow 40+ old boxer to beat all the young guys; it will only expose how shallow boxing is talent wise amongst 99% of boxers

Finally people say Pavlik is the guy to beat him. I don't rate flat footed Pavlik that highly. I think Calzaghe beats him and beats him easy. Ironically I think the man to beat him is the guy that was beaten twice by Pavlik and that's Jermain Taylor. I think his fast hands and speed will beat Calzaghe.
