How come no one is giving Hopkins a chance?

[Orion]

Hopkins is slow???

Well he's not Calzaghes speed either...

[Orion]

But he said slow.

Big ****ing deal, We all know Calzaghe has been in soft as a pro and a champion so what about the amateurs. Was he fighting the best then? How many world competitions did he win? Did he go to the Olympics? Did he win the Pan am games? No? Then shut the **** up!

Calzaghe started boxing aged nine, with the southpaw having 120+ fights and won four schoolboy ABA titles, followed by three consecutive senior British ABA titles (British Championships) from 1991 to 1993. This made him only the second boxer in history to win at welter, light middleweight and middleweight divisions. He also beat future WBO and IBF heavyweight world champion Chris Byrd as a middleweight in 1992.

It's all here, if you want to know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Calzaghe

He was going to the Olympics until they stopped Enzo from working in his corner. If he had, I think he would have won a gold.

because Calzaghe is a better fighter and underrated and Calzaghe can nearly fight any kind of style battle that suits that fight to win.
