Originally posted by abadger View PostSo, in fact close defeats, even to inferior fighters, do not diminish a boxers legacy?
I will remember that in the unlikely event that Hopkins wins on the 19th.

Originally posted by R.I.P. Corrales View PostYeah but you cant compare calzaghes resume to bhops. This is Calzaghes biggest fight, first time not fighting at home, he needs to win. This is not Bhops biggest fight, Bhop won his biggest fights.
The Taylor re-match was pretty big, his first pro fight was a big fight it is for anyone.
As great as Hopkins is and he is i firmly believe everyone Hopkins beat in his career Calzaghe would have beat.

Originally posted by FRKO View PostI think those losses hurt him, and when Taylor lost to Pavlik, it hurt Hopkins even more.
While I'm in this thread, I'll say I thought Jermain won both fights, and Jermain also won the Pavlik rematch by one or maybe two rounds. Shame other people don't score fights like I do, though, they tend to score for the guy throwing the most shots even if they're being blocked.

Originally posted by c'monmang' View PostYou have to remember Hopkins was FORTY yrs old and he had to close fights with JT. Both . in the end of those fights he was kicking JT's ass, although I feel he still lost......It doesnt diminish his legacy.
What, out of interest, would diminish Hopkin's legacy in your eyes?

diminish is an opinion.
yes, 43 yr old Hopkins can beat Calzage,, Hopkins may have needed this move to 175, especially at his age..
