Why is Calzaghe hardest fights over Old Men (Eubank and Hopkins)

[Left Hook Tua]

Odds are 3/1 against Vitali? I've got to get some cash down on this fight before that changes. Wish I could afford to go big on this one.

no , stick.

it's pretty close to even money actually. i think peter is -110.

i was just trying to get 2-1 from flawless.

the gomez-virchis fight would be a good bet though.

virchis is getting 1.5-1 and even 2-1. virchis is gonna ko jcg.

Calzaghe wasn't the total package when he fought Eubank, he wasn't as professional as he'd later become, by his own admission he found the 12 rounds tough while later, i.e. against Lacy, he looked like he could've done another dozen. So I guess you can attribute much of his comment on the difficulty of that fight purely to Calzaghe. As for Hopkins, it's a bit unfair to just call him an old man, he's still one of the craftiest sons of bitches in the game.

****, did I just defend Calzaghe? My track records going down the toilet.

No, Mario Veit I is Calzaghe's hardest fight.

Calzaghe said it himself. See my avatar for more details.

43 year old man is not old

43 year old man is not old

He said it is unfair JUST to call him an old man.

Are you really as brainless as you seem?

[Kilrain]

I didn't say he wasn't old, I said he wasn't JUST old. Saying Why is Calzaghes hardest fights over Old Men (Eubank and Hopkins) is a bit unfair, a bit narrow in scope. That's like me saying, Why is Roy Jones two best victories over a green fighter and a weight drained fighter. Not fair. Not considering variables, circumstances etc. I'm quite aware Hopkins is not the fighter he was. But lets face it, no one has an easy time with Hopkins. Winky Wrights toughest ever fight was probably with Hopkins and he was still an old man there. Doesn't mean ****.

I haven't seen enough of Virchis to bet intelligently, wish I had.

Well, I was just looking for those 3/1 odds against Vitali and had come back here to see if any place in particular was mentioned and read this post of yours. Had me all excited, you did.

43 year old is ****ing old simple as that doesn’t matter. After the age of 35 males start to decline usually and Hopkins was 7 years into that.

You're such a good boy..........

All other bull**** aside, I'm 43 myself, and I'm here to tell you that, while I'm still in good shape, I can definitely say that 43 sure as hell at 38 or even 39. Nothing works as well as it did just a few years ago, and I'm reminded of every injury I've ever had when the weather is a little cool and damp, and for the first hour of every day.

sorry. trying to sucker flawless into taking it but he didn't take the bait.

haven't seen any of virchis either but the wladguys says he's real good.

he has heavy hands and bigger than gomez.

as long as he's not a russian sinan samil sam he should win.

i can't get the yanqui diaz fight out of my head everytime i think of gomez......no matter how skilled he is......
