Hopkins: "I Won't Let Calzaghe Make History"

[Guest]

Yeah I heard the Kelly fight was a bad one. He was well beaten in the rematch though.

Did you see the rematch?

I just checked on boxrec, the poor bastard.


Shanus, you have to be KIDDING me, right?

Of course I was kidding about him getting swallowed by a hole, but I'm not lying about him saying what he did, he was a Winky Wright fan.. which somewhat links him to Jeff Lacy, what's even worse is he's a Limey..

You forgot about the "good fighter" part.
People also dont realize Taylor had 23 fights, and was very inexperienced. Beating Hopkins was a great achivement, seeing as Hopkins hadnt lost since 93. Dont try and downplay Taylor's achivements.

I watched the first fight live and Taylor couldnt touch Hopkins solid all night. Hopkins decided to use a strategy he thought would give him an easy decision and showcase his defense. This might have worked had HBO not been sucking Taylor off and building him up as their next superstar! What they did to Hopkins was bull****, but Ive seen worse. Noticed here lately how HBO has backed off the Taylor train? Taylor now "has yet to prove himself" in the wise yet annoyingly gay words of Jim Lampley. No, Taylor lost that fight. But a lot of people have said Hopkins has slipped and doesnt have his edge offensively. I m not so sure. He seemed to almost toy with Tarver and fought a completely different style than against Taylor. But there is really a lot of variables still around Hopkins, mainly his age and when it will catch up with him.I take Hopkins vs CAlzaghe.....vs Maskaev ooohh I dont know, it wont be pretty!
