If Calzaghe beats Hopkins will he be higher on the all time p4p rankings?

R u serious? Please pop in a tape of hopkins at 32 and then look at him versus Wright. R u tryin to say there is no difference? There is a big difference. The truth is roy is the one that never changed. Never got better. say what u want about how boring their fight was but i never saw roy look so ordinary from that point until he fought tarver. Hop realized after that fight that he couldnt just roughouse everybody and he took the steps to get better and he did . roy never really got better thats why he is where he is now. Roy fought the same way from 93 to 03. But the point is hopkins physical is not the fighter he use to be. Thats why him still fighting at this level at this age is a big thing. this fight is only interesting because of it. I bet a 32 year old hopkins whips a 28year old joe. Hell i think a 36 old hop beats a 36 year old joe. But like i said earlier joe wasnt trying to fight any of his contemporaries when they where in there primes. He was quiet as a mouse back then.

Calzaghe has a great chance against any version of Hopkins.

You seem to be ignorant of the fact that the Calzaghe camp was close to getting Hopkins to sign up a few years back but it was Hopkins who backed out at the last minute making ridiculous demands. Calzaghe doesnt have a big mouth but at no time has he been "as quiet as a mouse" as you put it.

Bilbo makes a good point about Hopkins biggest wins. Are there any on that resume that Calzaghe couldnt have won? No. Calzaghe certainly wouldnt be losing to Taylor on the cards. A prime on prime fight between these two is competitive at any stage in Hopkins career.

Now I dont think it will be all that competitive. Hopkins will try and rough it up and thats all he can do. Calzaghe will throw a lot more and fight smart, he knows he's on the American stage and he will be looking not just to win but to look very good doing it.

And what fighter on joes list u think hopkins wouldnt beat.And before hopkins beat them no one would pick joe to beat tarver or winky. People like to bring up hpkins turnin down a fight. But who was joe then. Nobody. Do u think hop was scared or something. This fight right here proves that wasnt the case. Hopkins doesnt have to fight joe. he never did.His legacy is set.He could retire right now a legend first ballot hof-amer. Joe was quiet as a mouse. Joe has done more talkin in the last year than hes done his whole career. facts is facts. Joe cal never dared to be great and is trying to build his legacy on the back of an old man who can probably still beat him. It really is sad. hell i give hatton more respect than joe. I give naz more respect.Why did joe wait until everyboby got old and faded to try and make noise. But I dont have no real beef with joe. Just his fans who cant put things in perspective. Ive said it before 2 wins over decent fighters dont erase the decade before when he was ducking everybody.

I think Kessler and Eubank are as tough opponents as anyone Hopkins has ever beat to be honest.
