Hopkins Can't intimadate Joe Calzaghe

[Lucky13]

I'd put money on the Hopkins who fought Tarver.

But I have a feeling he's just too long in the tooth now - three years on from the Taylor defeats, only three fights in three years, and 43 years old.

But the Hopkins of five to seven years ago basically beats up Calzaghe.

You don't have to twist it.
Just say I won't put my money on B-Hop right now.

Why do people always say that as a fact? Isn't that just an opinion, and didn't Hopkins pretty much cancel the fight when it was made a few years back?

Would you rather fight Joe Calzaghe in front of 1,200 people at Cardiff Ice Rink and on Showtime delay, or Oscar de la Hoya?

Joe Calzaghe, the joke musclebound Jeff Lacy was going to obliterate.

It's Calzaghe's fault and Calzaghe's fault only that the Jones Jr and Hopkins fights never happened. He basically just sat at home with his dad whinging about 'lack of recognition' and his bad hand, for 10 years.

You are so down it Calzaghe it makes me sick. Calzaghe beat Eubank 10 years ago and yet you're still bitter as ****?

Yes, Calzaghe is open to right hands at times but every fighter has flaws. No body is perfect in boxing, nobody.

It's different to cancel a fight, and to cancel the fight at the last minute...

I'm a Calzaghe fan, but I'm also honest.. ? He's been grossly over-rated lately.

Cancel a fight at the last minute? There were negotiations, behind closed doors, that nobody even knew of until a few months ago. Calzaghe pulled out of a fight with Glen Johnson in 2004 at nearly literally the last minute, a couple of days before the fight.

Are you ****.

If being realistic means thinking Carl ****ing Froch can beat him then I'd hate to see someone who has a downer on him.

Yes, Carl Froch would beat Joe Calzaghe. I've said that for five years and it's my honest opinion.

We're not talking about Johnson, you were simply stating Hopkins would have beat Joe 7 years ago, which is not true, since Hopkins canceled the fight, you can't make that assumption. It's kind of like a back-up excuse. "if Hopkins loses, he would have beaten him back then anyway"

Then your opinon doesn't really mean anything.

You accuse people for overrating Calzaghe when you do exactly the same thing with Froch. Calzaghe has actually fought a hell of a lot better competition than Froch and Froch is getting old now too.

Based on what do you think Froch beats Calzaghe?

This would be good...

P.S Don't come up with some **** about how Froch KOed a sparring partner who floored Calzaghe in sparring or some other hogwash.
