The only thing that sucks for Calzaghe about this fight is that after he's done dominating Hopkins, everybody is going to say that Hopkins was too old and had this fight taken place ___ years ago that the result would have been different; when in reality, the Calzaghe of today would bury Hopkins at any point in his career.


It's too bad that Joe fought spent nearly his whole career in the UK, because had he come to America much earlier in his career, he would easily be a household name on par with Oscar Delahoya and Roy Jones Jr. Although I'm not so sure that he beats RJJ at 168.
CC for great post and I agree especially with the point that he would beat hopkins at any point in their careers.
