    Explain the difference between Hopkins and Cazlaghe's title defences?

    First, you claim I said Calzaghe ducked people. There goes what little's left of your credibility right there. Second, I said "opponents". You're specifying "title defenses". Another blow to your negligible credibility. But I'll humor you and list the opponents:

    Hopkins

    Glen Johnson
    Keith Holmes
    Felix Trinidad
    William Joppy
    Oscar de la Hoya
    Howard Eastman
    Jermain Taylor (twice)
    Antonio Tarver
    Winky Wright
    Joe Calzaghe
    Kelly Pavlik
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Chad Dawson

    Calzaghe

    Eubank
    Jeff Lacy
    Kessler
    Hopkins
    RJJ


    Oh...... and Peter Manfredo.

    Next!

    You said "I beg to differ" about a comparison made between Calzaghe at 168 and Hopkins at 160. What does Hopkins post 160 career have to do with it?

    It's not Fenster's credibility you should be concerned with. Fact.
