Also look at B Hop. He didn't get his first signifcant fight until he fought the welterweight Trinidad in 2001 at the age of 36, the same age Calzaghe is now!
Calzaghe is actually ahead of Hopkins. At this age Hopkins had only fought Trinidad, Calzaghe already has wins over Eubank, Lacy, Kessler and Hopkins and is fighting another legend in Roy Jones next month.
Hagler didnt' get any big fights until he was past 30 either.
Bilbo do you realize how much of an underdog Bernard Hopkins was against Felix Trinidad ? and do you know Felix Trinidad was being compared to SRR. And was very high in the P4P rankings ?
Bernard Hopkins also beat Antwun Echols x2 who beat Charles Brewer, which is one of Joe Calzaghe's better wins, and also a win over Keith Holmes who dominated a young Richie Woodhall, which is also one of Joe Calzaghe's better wins.
Also aren't you forgetting Glen Johnson, John David Jackson, Simon Brown, ETC. they are all solid wins.
