Joe Calzaghe undefeated how long?
Tonight's fight (Bernard Hopkins vs, Joe Calzaghe) showed only one thing to me, that Joe Calzaghe will be knocked out when he faces a opponent like Antonio Tarver or Glen Johnson. Why? Simply because fighters like Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver, are natural light heavy weights and natural punchers with power! Joe Calzaghe is a slow starter that can not find his range until the middle rounds, and if Antonio Tarver lands a big punch in the early rounds (which is not hard to do with fighter like Joe Calzaghe), he will not be allowed to recover or might not even recover from the initial punch. Joe Calzaghe's chin is revealing to be suspect! A few of Bernard Hopkins's clean punches on the chin hurt Joe Calzaghe, not a good look for Joe Calzaghe, being that Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver hits much harder. The light heavy weight division might not be the right division for Joe Calzaghe. Joe Calzaghe's win over Bernard Hopkins proves nothing, he did not impressively win, but he should of got a unanimous decision. The split decision was straight bogus! Bernard Hopkins did not follow up when he hurt Joe Calzaghe, and when a fighter fights peddling backwards he better get the best of the exchange of punches in every round, which Bernard Hopkins did not do. Joe Calzaghe won this fight because he out worked Bernard Hopkins and was thee aggressor in the fight, but frankly both fighters performance's looked quite amateur.
