Is hopkins in his prime?

[LondonBB]

Your only asking this to make Joe Calzaghe's win look better, no Bernard Hopkins isn't in his prime. Have you seen his early fights ? i suggest you watch them.

yea he always trys to make joe look better. when i saw this thread i chukled and was like who the fuk would post this thread and then i saw calzaghes #1 fan and was like hmm go figure. i would keep it how puglistic has it which is frm 97 - 03ish although when bhop beat the crap outta glen johnson i would say u dont get much better than that.

Forget calzaghe, this is about hopkins.

I think hopkins is a definate hall of fame fighter, he proves just how someone can adapt and better themselves with age.

I dont see many people here saying that at all, rather than focus on how he has changed his style and how he has adapted, all i see is people saying how hopkins is 'past his prime'.

If you look at last saturday's performance it clearly is not the case?

If you look at his performances at light heavy it is clearly not the case either.

Bernard said it himself that his recent win was better than any others in his career, to me this suggests that he is a man on top of his game.

The only thing i will say about calzaghe is that hopkins should be given another chance against him because i think we might see hopkins beat calzaghe next time round. If he does this, then he is the best of the 3 (calzaghe, jones and hopkins)...for someone to have the durability and adaptability that hopkins has is the mark of a true world class athlete!
