Calzaghe is overrated

[bluemax]

If Calzaghe is over rated what happens to Hopkins Legacy after he loses a wide decision to Calzaghe? I would expect Hopkins admirers to keep a little quiet about Calzaghe's so called level or achievment since if you were to look at both Hopkins and Calzaghe's PRESENT skills and endurance objectively you'd have to admit that Hopkins chance of winning their fight is a long shot.

A white FRENCH canadian!!! The same French canadians that are so stubborn about the threat of anglo saxon culture that they have a ministry to create new french words for modern inventions. The French have had nearly a thousand years of having their arses handed to them by the British with the odd (Joan of Arc) highlight here and before anyone quotes 1066 and William the Conqueror, the Normans were by and large VIKINGS that settled in Normanday (Norman = Norseman) and spoke french. If that isn't a good reason to cheer against a Brit then I don't know what is!!!!

Anyway Kswizzy has said he will give Joe props if he beats Bernard and another top flight American fighter before he retires, so we'll have to keep him to that won't we!!

lol at the first paragraph. I'm not one of those stubborn french canadians and I voted against the separation of quebec from canada although I have no idea what thats got to do with this thread.

yes, I will give props to calzaghe if he beats hopkins and pavlik or jones afterwards. like I've said before I'm not a calzaghe hater or a UK fighter hater. I just think Calzaghe is overrated thats all.

hopkins has nothing to lose in this fight no matter the outcome. well, unless its a brutal ko in the first round but we all know that ain't happening. hops is 43 years old and this will be calz's toughest fight, that is exactly why I think he is overrated. he has yet to fight a great opponent in their primes.

Even better, I'll name Bernard Hopkins 5 best opponents:

Roy Jones Jr - L
Jermaine Taylor - L
Jermaine Taylor - L
Oscar De La Hoya - W (De La Hoya made his debut at Lightweight)
Felix Trinidad - W (Felix made his debut at Jr Welterweight)

WOW!

who cares where those fighters made their debuts? that is nit picking. and what about winky wright? and those 5 opponents are all better than calz's best opponent which was kessler.

The only one of those guys that could come close to bothering Kessler is Roy Jones Junior. Who WON against Bernard Hopkins.

I am not sure that the Undisputed Super-Middleweight Champion of the World is overrated.

If anything he is underrated, because all I read from non-British fight fans is what a "rubbish", "un-enteratining" fighter he is, and how all he ever does is slap because of his hand condition.

Is this because he is British? I do not know, but he is definitely underrated by many.

Calzaghe will be the best fighter Hopkins has ever fought (Roy was green at the time).

Very true, sir.
