Any opinions?
Bigger question is IF Calzaghe can pull it off,does that therefore remove Hopkins from the all time list Interesting thought Bilbo.
I don't know,at the risk of getting smacked around I would have a hard time placing Calzaghe on a top all time list.Based on ?? I mean Taylor will not even get into the same solar system as all time discussion and he bested Hopkins twiceAnd A win over Jones at this point (which Calzaghe can accomplish) has to be seen with an asterisk.Hopkins vs. Calzaghe will be a great one,Both had better steel themselves for what will most likely there toughest fight in there respected career's.
Jones will clamour for the winner and look to cash out but a 12 round win over a natural Welter 2-2 in the last 6 yr's does not translate to him being what he once was?Don't see him beating either one myself.
