So Calzaghe fought the worst fight in a long time against Hopkins but still won.
Hopkins followed the loss with a schooling of the young, favoured undefeated Pavlik.
Even the yanks must now acknowledge. Joe Calzaghe is an ALL-TIME-GREAT!
The problem with this theory is that Hopkins could've easily potshotted Pavlik if he wanted to and still won. The fact that he didn't potshot and was commited to combination punching means Hopkins is looking to win decisively rather than looking to win narrowly.
Styles make fights and Hopkins fought the wrong style against Calzaghe. A combination punching Hopkins can beat Calzaghe.
Yes he could have but he didn't need to. He could dominate him comfortably, which he did.
The point you are missing is that Calzaghe would never have allowed that to happen and was the one who dictated the pace - which ultimately decided the fight as Hopkins couldn't cope with it.
A more aggressive Hopkins was simply never an option against Calzaghe - as someone with a modicum of boxing knowledge, like Hopkins, knew. The trick to beating Calzaghe is to make him come forward and Hopkins almost did it well enough to get the W. Almost.
Its blasphemous for you to include that fraudsters name in the same sentence with DelaHoya and Ali,he's not worth to tie both of them's shoes

I'll let you in on a secret: You're stupid.
Associated Press, Yahoo, and ESPN scored the bout 114-113 for Hopkins
Yahoo did eSPN had it Calzone, who clearly won dont need press row ya do have eyes blood?
theres a lot of fighters in the HOF.... few are actuall all time greats
I wish i could respond to your post properly mate but am a bit pissed, and you avatar is making me LMAO!!!
I look at it like this. In the hall of fame there's a table were the HOF fighters sit while the ATG fighters serve them drinks. Roy Jones is a HOF fighter, Joe Calzaghe is the ATG serving Roy drinks and getting tipped by Roy accordingly.
u realize of course... ATG>HOF

Ok. You're entitled to your opinion.

I don't hear you talk when you type. But thanks for being an idiot.
In any case, Hopkins is 43. And there a plenty of people who suggested that Pavlik was overrated and certainly would NOT beat Calzaghe. Actually, I thought he'd lose to Joe and beat Hopkins. Guess he's even worse than I thought.
That homo didnt beat BHop for starters,he got a gift.Roy will knock him out then B Hop will school Roy.That homo doesnt want BHop anywhere near him now coz he knows he will be exposed
I guess in your mind DLH lost to Sturm and Ali to Norton as well?
Hopkins is a sure fire ATG and a legend for a reason...
Calzaghe is no where near that....still....and he even beat Hopkins.
Calzaghe you want to be great....
Beat Roy.
Beat Dawson.
Beat Hopkins again.
Til then hes a nobody with a good workrate.
Ok. You're entitled to your opinion.
Agreed. Not shot at all. Just 43

its funny when you have to try and debate whether or not hes an ATG
put it like this...
no one questiones whether or not ray leonard was an all time great or not
nobody debates wether ali was an all time great or not
nobody polls whether whitaker was an all time great or not
if you have to discuss it, debate it... then he still has more to prove
I say this all the time. No one gets it........ But hey, they can waste there time in begging for people to beleive. Its cool.
