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

    Calzaghe himself hype Kessler up, how ****ing funny.

    This was before he fought Hopkins



    This is after he fought Hopkins
    "I know I won. I fought a really hard fight. I had to let the punches go as the fight wore on. He was very defensive. I was only hurt once. It was the hardest fight of my career. I was a bit rusty at the start. I knew this wouldn't look pretty tonight. In training I concentrated on not rushing it, but I am glad to have landed more punches on Hopkins than anyone else has ever managed. He was awkward. He gave me some big shots. It's icing on the cake for my career. I don't know who my next opponent will but - but I am a legend-killer."
    He said himself that Hopkins was his hardest fight and that he was hurt against old man Hopkins, why Kessler was hurt from a Calzaghe body shot which says a lot.





    THE REASON LACY OR KESSLER IS NOT CALZAGHE BEST WINS ARE SIMPLE. THEY WERE UNPROVEN FIGHTERS WHO HAVE NOT BEATEN NO GOOD FIGHTER. BUT OLD PROVEN MEN SUCH AS EUBANK AND HOPKINS BOTH GAVE HIM HIS HARDEST FIGHT. THERE IS A REASON WHY

        Eubank gave him a hard fight because he was inexperienced at the time. It even says that in the article you quoted.

        Calzaghe is a smart fighter, partly because he is so experienced and a veteran. So this gave him an advantage over Kessler and Lacy. Hopkins is even more experienced than Calzaghe though and is a smarter fighter and so this took away one of Calzaghe's natural advantages.

            They say Kessler is young how old was he when they fought?? He was like 28 or 29 and he is 30 now. He is not that young they make him out to be. Also Calzaghe had everything going for him plus 50k support for his fans.

              Calzaghe said that the Hopkins fight that was his hardest fight, yet you say Eubank was??? How do you come to that conclusion and go against Calzaghe own words. If style makes fights Hopkins style is suited for Calzaghe and he had experience hence why that was his hardest fight and also he had no crowd advantage.
