will calzaghe gain respect from beating hopkins?

[GodOfWar]

Probably Hopkins, Chad Dawson, Pavlik, Clinton Woods, Glen Johnson and Antonio Tarver.

No American really knows of Chad Dawson and Clinton Woods, they are not big names. Don't care if Dawson holds a belt, no one really knows of him. More ppl know of Pavlik, Glen Johnson, and Tarver. It hilarious that Chad Dawson is an American boxer, a good one at that but just isn't well known in his own ****ing country.


Most ppl still don't even know who Calzaghe is in America just hardcore boxing fans like us. But he'd get better known if that fight against Pavlik gets off. But I doubt it will because Pavliks camp are scared of Calzaghe

Bernard Hopkins is 43 years OLD....

Calzaghe Cant Lose this fight and Have his resume taken Seriously from now on, because it would be obvious that he wasnt fighting Elite Fighters...

If he wins...
Then He did what he was suppose to do...to a 43 year old past his prime fighter....


But I dont think he will win.....
'

But if he does I will give him credit...
but it would of meant more if Bernard was in his prime..Like Calzaghe is right now..

no way as soon as calzaghe beats hopkins he will instantly become shot and washed up

He's already respected thatz why he's the favorite! The question is will Hopkins get respect for beating Calzaghe? Will people call Calz another blown up victim? thatz the question!!

But thats not going to happen, Winky would have beat hopkins in the last fight if cheating wasn't going on with that head butt. Unintentional my ass when he bounces off the ropes like that lunging like a mad man with his forehead out. He has to cheat to win.

This is what is going to happen in America if Hopkins does win, he will use head butts. Illegal shots, hitting Calzaghe in the **** and pretending it wasn't on purpose. And wahla, Americans will all forget on how he cheated if thats how he has to fight to win

It would be Hopkins best win by far, leapfrogging his win against Glen Johnson.

calzaghe is not in his prime

Joe Calzaghe is British and he has said in an interview that he is proud to be both Welsh and British.

The only fans he needs to impress are the British ones that help him sell out 75 000 seated stadiums.

As for the Hopkins fight, if he does somehow manage to defeat that racist guy then it can only be good for him as Hopkins is a truly great boxer and obviously very comfortable at Light-Heavyweight.

[abadger]

A lot of Americans already give Joe a lot of credit...

Agreed. Shouldn't all get tarred with the same brush. I've seen plenty of US guys picking Calzaghe over Hopkins. Too many do deride him as a joke though.

Yep but calzaghe wants to be known as a great and he wants to be a big name in america i think he is one of the beat boxers around but not many people outside the uk have the same opinion.
