Benard Hopkins the Great. I never beat against Hopkins. It's criminal what they did to him in the Jermaine Taylor fights. The Calzaghe fight was a robbery too.
But his fights are painful to watch. To love the way Benard fights you have to be a serious boxing fan.
But if you watch very closely you will see he is doing a lot of subtle damage to his opponents.
its true. too bad the judges didn't watch closely and only scored based on who was throwing punches not landing.
hbo's pro jermain taylor agenda gave them a new star but it was the wrong decision. lampley's commentating was the worst thing i've ever heard in my life. he was calling a jermain taylor fight not a bernard hopkins-jermain taylor fight.
punches that flew over hopkins head are "huge right hands!", ignoring nearly every punch hopkins landed, saying complete bullshi-t like hopkins will be down 6 or 7 rounds before you know it" and its still in the 4th round. all he was doing was planting seeds that taylor was winning even when he wasn't. yes it was close but no he did not deserve to win.
obviously he won the calzaghe fight because calzaghe couldn't hit him and kept walking into punches but he had more energy and that's all that matters now i guess. energy trumps clean punching. boxing for dummies!

I dont get it...are you trying to be funny? Or insulting? Or are you angrily and incoherently rambling about anything related to Calzaghe again?
well if the first two fail i'll take the last one.
better question is he done yet?

i don't think you would ever say anything bad about joe. he seems very sensitive and if he found out he would probably go on a suicidal drug binge.
Um.....ok??? You done yet?
But i never mentioned Joe or said he wasnt self indulgent. You just went off on one. Funny as fuk.

unprovoked? you said hopkins was self indulgent and since you love calzaghe i got back at you by pointing out how self indulgent calzaghe is by making music videos about how people are gonna miss him.

Not sure what Calzaghe has to do with this fight/thread but im not surprised you've now managed to rant about him for 4 or 5 posts unprovoked....:lol1:

yes it is ironic that you called hopkins self indulgent. he's talking at a press conference about his accomplishments what did you expect him to talk about the weather? meanwhile you are joe's biggest fan and the guy makes music videos about how great he is and goes on reality shows because he so badly wants to be loved.

he shut their mouths and made them eat their words! went 46-0 now it's time to close the showwwwwwwwwwwwww!
not self indulgent at all to make a music video hyping yourself up. he's still trying to convince people he's great after he retired but when you look at his record... nope sorry just not there. making songs about being great doesn't mean you are. it means you are an insecure lil person.
Irony......
