    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.

    Hopkins mk 2002 would be much easier for Calzaghe to handle than the 43yo version.

    Hopkins would have opened up and traded and got hit, i dont think the 2002 version of Hopkins would beat Winky Wright.

    Not easy to beat a guy that throws a punch then holds a headbut then hold.

    It was Joes career worst diplay and he still beat the guy at a new weight. Need to stop dogging Calzaghe your wrong in everything you say and you can make shitty arguments about every great fighters resume.
