Yes they were comparable class wise. Once Hopkins was 43. 10 years prior Hopkins was significantly better. Holy shit these new smilies are horrific. ::
This. It amazes me how much credit Hopkins gets for his reign and how much derision Calzaghe gets for his.
I think it might be best to leave this here. You aren't going to make me see sense and nor I you, so I think a respectful withdrawal from both parties is in everyone's best interests... MTF ::
This debate is funny. Calzaghe struggled with a 43 year old version of Bernard Hopkins that fought for 30 seconds a round. Anyone who thinks Calslappy beats the 1999 version of Bernard Hopkins knows dick-all about boxing. Oh, and RJJ kicks his ass, too.
