Calzaghe moves up in weight to fight the best light heavy Hopkins or Having Ricky Hatton move up to 147 to fight him and destroy him at a weight class he has always looked horrible at. People like to use hopkins age as an excuse, yet Hopkins has been beating good/great fighters even at his old age.
And its not like Calzaghe was a spring chicken either.

wow nut licker at his best.
floyds over all accomplishment > calzaghes
dumbass
You're fighter is a bum, that is why he doesn't fight a legit 147 pounder, no he picks on fighters like marquez and hatton and asks them to move up in weight to fight him.
Floyd just doesn't drain weight like the rest of the JrWW that way the near, the same, or even more than Floyd does when he fights at WW.
Floyd is 149 come fight-time. How much is Hatton?
Pac was 147 when he fought Diaz.
Take away the ability for a fighter to drain and rehydrate for a fight, let's see what's up.
Hatton didn't move up; he just skipped the charade of the weigh-in for the scales at JrWW. No need to dehydrate and rehydrate. Floyd doesn't come in over 149 for WW bouts. Ricky comes in at 149+ for his JrWW bouts. Way over-blown with the weight issue.
For Hopkins: His last best fight was Tito, mabye one fight after that. He lost to TAYLOR for a reason; he was past his best. Go back and watch the Tito fight and all his fights before...it's a better fighter. For Pavlik win: It just means Pavlik was overrated and wasn't athletic like Taylor was. Hell, Pavlik also broke down mentally faster than Taylor which was a bit surprising.
Calzaghe was also knocked down by an Old Man and the fight was close. Some even thought Hopkins won; nobody thinks Hatton won.
Hopkins gassed out because he started early and at his age, there is only so much in the tank...especially when you cannot dictate the pace for your old leaking fuel tank; something he hadn't done in a long time...which was also why he lost to Taylor but the reverse; Hopkins started to late.
Hopkins also fought the majority of his career at MW and moved up to face a deflated Tarver who messed up his body just like Roy did before him for his match (with Tarver). Tarver's win over Jones was due to a deflated Jones Jr. and Hopkins win over Tarver was due to a deflated Tarver (plus his fights with Johnson). Tarver just learned what Jones Jr. went through but kept his mouth shut because a KO win over Jones is better than a loss to Hopkins.

LOL.
Man, you gotta be the most repetative fukwit on the planet son.
"humiliate"
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
the only thing humiliating were all the GIFs made after the fight, showing calzaghe's second to none, all time great punching technique.
not to mention him hitting air the whole fight while getting countered. hey at least he threw more punches and tried really hard am i right!
Obviously Joe moving up to beat BHop is a better accomplishment than Floyd beating Hatton at Welter.
Looking at their entire careers though, Floyd clearly has the better legacy. Fought the better fighters in their primes.

wrong! quoting compubox makes you look really stupid since it's been proven time and time again that he didn't land shit.
Calzaghe moving up to 175 to clearly beat, anal rape and humuliate the #1 LHW Hopkins is definitely the bigger accomplishment.

calzaghe lost to a blown up middleweight who was 43 years old. it's not that he just lost he couldn't even hit the guy.
Same blown up middle weight who destroyed Tarver and Tarver can make weight excuses all he wants for that fight, yet Tarver recently also got destroyed against Chad Dawson.
Since youre going to be bias, I can say Joe was the bigger man, a career super middleweight against Hop, a career middleweight and it was Joe picking on the smaller, much older man.
This is true.
Achilles, you're acting like Hopkins was a way bigger man.
The fight against Joe was Hopkins' second fight at LHW, he fought Winky at 170.
The moving up in weight thing isn't really that much of a factor.
The 3 people that voted mayweather are biased retards.
Im a mayweather fan myself but c'mon. Hopkins >>> Hatton (out of his weight class). Be real people.
says the clown who picked Hopkins and Roy Jones over Calzaghe
He has a clown in his avatar, a clown who likes to fight little midgets all the time. His little boyfriend Mayweather likes to fight guys like Hatton and Marquez at weight classes they're probably not even good at. Well, we know Hatton sucks at 147 because of his previous fights. But we have never seen Marquez fight at 144 before, I bet you all the mayweather jerks will jerk off when Mayweather probably beats Marquez at 144.
Calzaghe edged out a 43 year old...and was also dropped.
Mayweather easily.
Hatton is a better fighter then Calzaghe..and has fought the tougher challenges.
Calzaghes a bum with no punch technique...and a great management team.
