so why in the first fight did calderon then get tagged and dropped in the later rounds?? could it be that age is simply catching up with him

he is still a very good techincal boxer, possibly the best pure boxer in the world today

however all though he may have not THAT much better in the past but he has been at least slightly better and that would be what i would consider as his BEST which he is now PAST
"he is still a very good techincal boxer, possibly the best pure boxer in the world today"
This is the point. If the guy is STILL one of the BEST fighters today, should he LOSE next time, it is completely hypocritical to claim he was "past his best." His "best" shouldn't take credit from the man that betters him. Especially when it's virtually impossible to determine someones "best"

If you're rated as one of the BEST fighters in the world.. excuses shouldn't count
