Carl Froch watched in shock and awe as 46-year-old Bernard Hopkins won the world light heavyweight title last weekend.
Next Saturday Froch meets another legendary veteran when he defends his WBC super-middleweight title against Glen Johnson in Atlantic City.
World champ Froch said: “Hopkins and Johnson are part of boxing’s forgotten breed of old-school heroes.
“They get better with age and are certainly more dangerous now than they were when they were younger.
“Johnson is 42, but forget the number – he has been a world champion at light-heavyweight and he’s my biggest threat.
“Let’s hope that old-timers like Hopkins and Johnson can persuade a young whippersnapper like (Joe) Calzaghe to come out of retirement.
“Calzaghe’s only 39 and a fight with him is the British super-fight that the fans would really love.”
