I mean Hopkins is 42-43 years old , and well past his best.
Calzaghe is biging this up like hes fighting a guy in his prime. Personally i think in maybe 5 years time people would just be saying , " well Hopkins was an old fighter etc etc"
By the way i dont think its an easy fight at all thats not wot im saying.
its a pick em fight.
I get the feeling this kinda fight should have happend long ago for Calzaghe , and now his career is comming to an end hes desperate to get called a "great"
i would really like to know your opinions on this .
Totally agree mate .........but Hopkins is still the biggest and toughest challenge out there imo. I think Lacy (although not with hindsight) was the biggest challenge at that time, as was Kessler, so I think JC cannot be critised from that angle.
