And a lot of Hopkins fans will ignore the fact that Hopkins had everything going for him. He matches up perfectly with sloppy southpaws. He is naturally the bigger man. He fought just as dirty as ever, got a nice breather from the 5 min. break after the low blow to steal round 10...
He did everything he could possibly do, and still lost the fight.
Period end of story, no other excuse will work.
Respect. Thats the way to deal with it. I wanted to give you some green but I'll have to spead some more, before I can give you again.
Btw I thought Hopkins did a lot better than expected.
Probably. He is still a very good fighter, but he seemed to tire towards the end. I thought that Taylor won their first fight, some disagree, but either way Hopkins finished that fight stronger than Taylor did. In this fight his age seemed to catch up with him.
He should retire, he has nothing left to prove.
I gotta agree, its gonna be tough never seeing him fight again, hes always been in the mix.
I gave Calzaghe 7-8 rounds.
Me too. This was a big win for Calzaghe because Hopkins is still a great defensive fighter and nobody ever got to Hopkins like Calzaghe did tonight. Being ambidextrous is a big advantage and I don't know of any other ambidextrous boxers. Calzaghe is one of a kind.
Yep and Joe hasn't declined yet. If he fatigued late Bernard woulda won. He beat Winky late but Joe's still in his prime.
One of my predictions was Calzaghe would wear down a little bit, i thought all Hopkins rough tactics would take there toll on him but it didnt happen.
Im being fair considering theres all kinds of blind posters on here and i consider myself one of the good ones i expected more out of someone of your caliber bro.
HaHA.. Right. Yeah, Calzaghe is the better fighter. :wank:
Worst thread here.
Hopkins was just a tad behind on everything, the speed really made a difference when i thought going into the fight Hopkins was gonna contain that.

Are you trying to get your dick sucked?
That's very brave of you considering you knew 80% would agree.

Yea Joe won. I can't say nothing about it. I had him 7-5 winning. B-Hop not active enough and didn't cleanly enough on Joe.
