Joe Calzaghe's 0 Will Go

[Phil McRevis]

Let's put it this way people.


I think it's safe to say that Bernard Hopkins is the best fighter that Joe calzaghe has ever seen, including Mikkel Kessler no matter how many of you stans wanna hype Mikkel up.

1. Joe is about to face the best fighter he has ever fought

2. Is joe really the best fighter that Hopkins has seen in his career?


I don't think so.

Wee Joe is certainly the Biggest fighter and in his prime.
And he is also an Undisputed 10 year champion.
Apart from Roy Jones YES....
He is the best Hopkins will have faced.
YES he is BETTER than TITO & OSCAR & TAYLOR and far more dangerous as he is pretty much the same size.
Next question...

The only thing thaat could actually trouble Calzaghe is Bernard's dirty tricks and clinching.

In in exchange Calzaghe is gonna have Hops's number.

2. Is joe really the best fighter that Hopkins has seen in his career?


I don't think so.

The only ones that were in any way arguably better at the weight they fought Hopkins at than Calzaghe is...beat Hopkins.

You listen dip****. Calzaghe was not known in america yet but he was already an elite fighter in europe. You again proved my point that if your an american champion your more special than a european champion! DOUBLE STANDARDS!

They are more special. Wanna know why? 50 years from now, historians will talk about Roy Jones Jr because he will be on the All-time greats list somewhere.

Joe Calzaghe? I don't think so. He will be remembered as one of the greatest fighters to come out of the England, but that's about it.

I put Joe Calzaghe, Darius M. , Prince Naseem Hamed, all european products that will not be remembered as all time greats. The only one out of that bunch that really did something was LENNOX LEWIS and he did come to america to fight the best in Holyfield and Tyson. He didn't wait around for them to come to him.

If he finally signs the contract and it's official that is. The guy has never fought on American soil and when he does it will sting for the rest of his career. First time in American and a 1 on his loss column.

Ohhh the excuses.........I didn't adjust to the climate in America yadda yadda yadda.

Now this will be one ugly fight. With Calzaghe's (***** fighting out of spider webs) style and Hopkins's defensive, one-punch-with- head-coming-in-and-clinch style.....this will be real ugly. You will not see any real action.

Every punch landed will look uneffective on both sides. But who is the King of Ugly fights? Who benefits more from that? Answer: HOPKINS
Winky looked real good against Tito, he looked very competitive landing shots against Taylor. But against B-Hop, he wasn't effetive at all. The jab wasn't working. Hopkins stunk up the place and took a close decision.

That's what will happen here folks. Hopkins by a close ugly decisoin. After the fight, calzaghe and his stans will cry robbery and all kinda other excuses.


I CAN'T WAIT

This brings back memories of the Lacy predictions...

I hope Joe doesnt KO B-Hop but slowly humiliates him.

Joe Calzaghe is overrated. He defeated Jeff Lacy, good win. But we all saw what happened to Jeff in his last 2 fights. He struggled with Vitali Tsypko...WHO? And went to distance with friggin Peter Manfredo.

He was overrated, he wasn't the next Mike Tyson. Joe's best win is over Mikkel Kessler. Solid win but like I said..........Hopkins is a league above Mikkel Kessler.

[The Troll]

Do you think he could beat Tam o'Shanter?

from the Robert Burns poem? lol

[Vladimir303]

This brings back memories of the Lacy predictions...

I hope Joe doesnt KO B-Hop but slowly humiliates him.

Jeff Lacy is an average fighter. He is a bigger version of Juan Urango. Both can knock people out but they're all muscle and no reflexes. They can't land **** against a decent fighter.

Joe and his fans are in for a suprise if they think they will school him like they did Lacy. Different styles, different class of fighters.

[Vladimir303]

Again why does a fighter have to fight in the states to become special? I know its a fact that americans have top quality boxers but that doesnt mean that there are no euro or asians top quality boxers. Look at eder jofre, he fought only three times in the states and fought fighters that werent even american but that doesnt mean that hes not an all time great. The only difference between fighting in europe and america is, that america gives fighters more exposure.

Wrong. You can stay in Europe and milk the audience selling out arenas fighting bums staying undefeated. But at the end of the day that's all you will be remembered for once your career is over. Darius M. didn't persue anybody. He just simply defended his WBO light-heavy title in germany for a decade getting his record up to 48-0.

What happened to him again? He is 48-2 now having lost to a buncha nobodies, a guy who Roy dominated at one point. Thing is even if Darius came to America to fight the best, he still would have gotten owned, so it was probably the best decision to play it safe and milk his record and sell out arenas in Germany.

You guys are delusional if you expect every top American Champion to come to Calzaghe when it should be the other way around. Jeff Lacy and a bunch of other american came to Joe, that doesn't mean that Roy and Hopkins have to do the same.

Im not going to downplay any coutry. All boxers are unique and some have great ability no matter where they train and fight.

It just seems like no matter what country most prospects have cherry picked opponents and fight in "showcase bouts" where they build up their records for big money fights. Its a business. Sometimes they get exposed early, sometimes they make it to a big payday.

Calzaghe deserves to fight B-Hop, I think they make for a competative fight.
Competative fights are good for boxing.

I think B-Hop is arrogant and his trash talking lacks the class/respect he has earned as a fighter over the years. So Im rooting for Joe.
