no argument there...beat the old guard and the new guard in his division and moved up to grab the undisputed 175 title on US soil....didn't have to scale down two divisions to beat up on no hopers like some garbage fighters i know....
hopkins fought 6 p4p fighters in a row in his 40's and went 3-3. calzaghe fought 1 his entire career and got a controversial decision. how many fights will calzaghe even win when he hits forty? oh yea thats right zero. got any more testaments?
Great achievements by Hopkins I admit. But how do you think Joe would have faired against: Pavlik, Taylor, Winky and Tarver?
I'm certain Joe would come out of that string of fights still unbeaten.
I'm not going to sit here and simply state that Joe would have beaten them all, because at the end of the day he didn't fight them. It's very hard to argue the case of a man who hasn't got the record of beating top p4p fighters. But in the Lacy and the Kessler fight it was transparently clear that he dominated world class opposition and that man COULD have gone on to great things if it was 5 years earlier or even if he chose a more formidable opponent than old Roy Jones.
i cant believe b-hop fans are still bitter about that
i thought the fact that he came back too dominate pavlik would have helped ease the pain of him losing too a white boy
obviously not
who said i was bitter?
i never said hopkins won the fight
read back HE BARLEY GOT PAST HOPKINS.
wow 1 round? now my post is shit?
still the fact is there, he got put down, and was getting tagged all night, a few slap flurries won him that fight, not landing clean shots
ive noticed when you make a point against the personal fav' of someone, they nit-pick a tiny fact to discredit the post.

You cannot say anything against Calzaghe's unbeaten record as he did come up against some very tough guys (all be it a bit late in his career). Even though Lacy is a joke now he was unbeaten at the time and there was a lot of hype about him. Hopkins has proved to still be a world beater after the Calzaghe fight so that was a solid victory.
The Kessler victory is still a great feat seeing as no-one else has done it since.
I admit 100% that he slaps and I really don't see why his Dad hasn't coached him out of it because it looks appauling and wastes energy. But when he is boxing properly and has the desire that sets Joe above so many fighters - he is pretty much unmatchable. (Apart from prime Jones I would argue)
prime jones and prime toney handle him with ease, calz was in a weak division his whole career, barley got by Hopkins, and beat a past prime jones who got cocky and isnt half the fighter he once was.
daggum in calzaghe hating shocker!!
:wt:
in a shocking turn of events daggum has turned to the dark side and proclaimed calzaghe p4p best dancer ever. :birthday:

Not whooped, thats a lie. But even if we would have been beaten by prime Jones (not sure about prime Bhop), he is still a p4p great of our time. And it is a huge testament to him that he was fighting and winning at 36, which is more than can be said about Jones's and Bernard's 5 losses.
