Calzaghe: "I wont repeat Hatton mistakes! "

[Dark Lord Al]

I agree with the points made about Calzaghe's opponent not being the massive favourite that Mayweather was, but Hopkins is still ranked in more p4p top 10's in the world, and the fact is Hopkins was the opponent that was demanded by very many people on this forum (many saying Calzaghe wouldn't take the fight cause he's a coward), and now Hopkins being dismissed as too old and a shadow of his former self by some?

Calzaghe wouldn't get respect from some people if he had a four on one fight with Klitshko, Peter, Haye and the Big Show and knocked all of them out.

Nobody is saying Hopkins isnt a fine fighter even at 43 , i was saying he is not the fighter he once was , and if anybody thinks he is then they are deluding themselves.
As for Hatton ,he fought the P4P king and lost , Calzaghe is not fighting the P4P king so the comparisons are totally stupid.

You know the point I was making though.....you'll very rarely see a p4p list without Hopkins in it...even at 43, but Mayweather is a different class to anyone else in the p4p list so no it isn't a straight comparison.
