Let's be honest here though, this isn't a fight of two guys at their physical peak in their late 20s to early 30s, this is a superfight between two legends of the game who have gone beyond just their peak physicality and will be pitting their boxing brains and experience in there against each other, not just their bodies.

Absolutely! And i'm not going to take a single thing away from either fighter... It's easy to say, well Hopkins isn't in his prime etc etc... But it's to guys who have dominated pretty much all their career, meeting in the ring head to head.. Both still in brilliant shape by just about anyone's standards.. Both KNOW how to box, know how to fight, know how to WIN.. Some "past their prime" fights get looked down upon and a lot of the great things about it get overshadowed by "past his great days",,, but these are 2 great fighters in the ring together... 2 of my favourite fighters mind you.. And you can't take anything away from them,, past their prime or not..
I'm certainly going to enjoy this fight as much as if Hopkins was 10 to 15 years younger.. Means nothing to me at this stage when the bell sounds for the start of round 1... Even with Hopkins age, their isn't a boxer out there that would underestimate him if they were about to go toe to toe for 12 rounds with him.
