Calzaghe has never fought anyone with this kind of ability. and it was a prime Roy Jones .

Any fighter can go 12 if they are in survival mode . Hopkins wasnt exactly going all out when he knew he was losing. Mercado had Hopkins out on his feet almost stopped him . Calzaghes never been in that condition before .
.He was far from In survival mode and actually gave a Hitting Prime Jones Tough times on the ropes.Not exactly a blowout ,4 point fight all around.

Mercado fight was to this date Hopkins toughest.The Bad judgement by Hopkins/ camp to arrive in Columbia and Its huge difference in Altitude on 3 or 4 days prior to fight had as much to do with Hopkins problems as Mercados wide punches.Also Imo Hopkins believed the hype and was convinced he would KO Mercado early ...Dumb!Almost don't mean a thing though,Hopkins came back to batter Mercado late and Ruined him in the rematch for good.
