Sorry if you don't like it but RJJ and Hopkins brought the $$$$$ to the table, Joe was talented but he didn't bring what those guys brought to the table.

All those guys had options of fighting proper big name talent and they didn't do it....it could have been a golden age of boxing, it's very sad

Its well known that Hopkins signed to fight Calzaghe in 2002 only to comeback and double his demands.
Just as well for Calzaghe then he didn't get the fight with Hopkins back then when he was a bit younger because Calzaghe couldn't even beat a 43 year old Hopkins.
