If you want me to give credit to Calzaghe for barely squeaking past a fossil head version of Hopkins I just don't know what to tell you.

Originally posted by Iceta Lives View PostMaybe so. But to me, like I said after watching Pavlik get battered by a smaller guy takes shine off Calzaghe's win over Hopkins coupled with some other things
Originally posted by Iceta Lives View Postwhich include Hopkins' sorry performance against Roy Jones (Even I'll admit Calzaghe beat Jones the way he was supposed to unlike Hops did) and simply put, Hopkins' age. It may sound biased I know. But it is what it is.

Headbutt
lead with his head
Clinch excessively
Hit and hold
Then I'm sure Calzaghe would of done more than just "squeak" a decision past him

Originally posted by -IronMike- View PostThat's not fair, he looked good against Pavlik which shows he still had something left in the tank. Pavlik style is tailor made for slick fighters with solid footwork and counter punchers
It's almost like their are two different Hopkins the one that Pavlik and the one who fought Jones/Calzaghe
If Hopkins wasn't allowed to:
Headbutt
lead with his head
Clinch excessively
Hit and hold
Then I'm sure Calzaghe would of done more than just "squeak" a decision past him

Originally posted by Iceta Lives View PostSo all the clean straight right hands that Hopkins wobbled Calzaghe had to do with headbutts and clinches? Gotcha.
His punch stats were something like 18 punches thrown per round. His overall punch accuracy was around 33%, that's 6 punches landed per roundLast edited by Toney616; 07-03-2010, 12:40 PM.

But the history books dont lie, He has wins over both of them and that is a FACT. " but they wasn't in their prime" waaaaaah waaaaaah, somebody call a waaaaaaaaaaaaamberlance.
Trevor Berbick got a win over Ali and Danny Williams got a win over Mike Tyson, do you also think that Berbick is better than Ali and Williams is better than Tyson? I think not.

Hopkins has dominated his last 3 fights since losing to Calzaghe, he is only adding to the great legacy of Joe by his continued success.
I honestly think BHop is on some sort of HGH or performing enhancing drugs. We know for a fact that Roy Jones Jr and James Toney were, so that automatically makes Joe the best Supermiddleweight in the last 30 years.
46-0 and we know Joe did it cleanly. If anything he de-hanced his performance because of the coke use.
