Calzaghe could have learned a lot from fighters like Pavlik and Cotto risk takers wanting big fights tough fights not clinging on to there unbeaten records.
Calzaghe beat Eubank as a young fighter let's not forget that.

Also look at B Hop. He didn't get his first signifcant fight until he fought the welterweight Trinidad in 2001 at the age of 36, the same age Calzaghe is now!

Calzaghe is actually ahead of Hopkins. At this age Hopkins had only fought Trinidad, Calzaghe already has wins over Eubank, Lacy, Kessler and Hopkins and is fighting another legend in Roy Jones next month.

Hagler didnt' get any big fights until he was past 30 either.

how the fuk is calzaghe ahead of hopkins. frm 40 and up he fought Taylor twice, Tarver, Wright, Calslappy, and Pavlik. just those 4 not including JOKE are way better than calzaghe has ever faced and joe is like wat 36-37 and Bhop is past 40 and is fighting PRIMEFIGHTERS unlike JOE.
Read it again carefully I said Calzaghe is ahead of Hopkins compared to where he was at the same age.

Hopkins got his megafight against Trinidad at age 36. The same age as Joe is now.

Now go and look at B Hops resume up until the age of 36 and compare it with Calzaghe's

Calzaghe's resume is as good if not better than Hopkins was at age 36.

Go and have a look if you don't believe me.

Trinidad, Oscar, Tarver, Pavlik, Wright, all of those fights he was older than Calzahghe is now

What I'm saying is that B Hop won his resect even later in life than what Joe is doing.

If you just looked at B Hops record up until age 36 and the Trinidad fight, who did he beat?
