Joe Calzaghe Names Bernard "Mary Hopkins"

[Ray Ray]

He didn't find a way to beat Jermain Taylor, so how he's gonna find a way to defeat a much better fighter in Calzaghe.

Joe by mid round stoppage

Are you serious?? A man who has never been stopped and now a man who doesnt sit on his punches is suppose to stop him. Wow! I've heard it all.

[shawn_]

Taylor didn't win because he was better. He won because he's more athletic and was more active. Hopkins landed more power punches in both fights and was more accurate. Joe is in his mid-30s himself and even though he's just as active as Jermain, even more active (punch-wise), he's not as athletic and would be easier to control as far as neutralizing his assets. Also, Hopkins won the first fight against Taylor imho.

Since when do we hold 40-year olds to such high standards?

Perhaps the most ignorant statement I have heard in a long while. What on earth would lead you to believe Joe Calzaghe is less athletic than Jermain Taylor? Taylor might look athletic, but he is really not all that spectacular. Did you see all of the spectacular athleticism he displayed against Kelly Pavlik? Me neither.

Jermain's athleticsim makes him the boxer that he is and is why he is able to compete at a high level. He isnt a great boxer, his athleticism carries him, what are you talking about, saying his athleticism isnt spectacular? So far Ive read that Calzaghe can KO Bernard and that Calzaghe is more athletic than Jermaine Taylor, some of yall are creative or just dillusional.

[Naps]

Taylor didn't win because he was better.

So you would have given it to Hopkins then???

Calzaghe wouldn't have the balls to say this about Hopkins if he was 5 years younger. Calzaghe is very much the European version of Mayweather!

Its not like Pavlik wasnt almost KTFO against Taylor, and Calzaghe beat the sweet **** out of Lacy, and hurt Kessler to the body. He also put Eubank down hard, and Eubank had a granite chin.

Calzaghe can really punch when he wants to.
