Does anyone actually think Calzaghe will knock Hopkins out?

[sparked_85]

I doubt very much you've seen Mercado fight, ****tard.

I haven't.

But it's fair to say he is a jobber.

Nard may have got knocked down because of the high altitude of quito affecting him. Air is pretty thin.

It's why Ecuador can beat Brazil in soccer.

But Mercado is definetely pretty ****. You can be a boxrec hero and ascertain that.

I doubt very much you've seen Mercado fight, ****tard.

The Mercado that lost 7 of his next 9 fights after Bernard? (including a technical draw against a 1-22 fighter) G T F O H.

Name a live body that Mercado beat? ONE.

[Jim Jeffries]

The Calzaghe nuthuggers are in full flight now, they love there boy i'll give em that.

Rag on Calzaghe and his fans, yet bet all of your points on him to win.

Uh, didn't you pick Chad Dawson to shutout Glen Johnson?

How many times has Calzaghe been stopped by body punches?

Doesn't Hopkins have ONE stoppage in his last EIGHT fights?

If Chad Dawson came in the right way and fought the way he was suppose to, then he would have shut out Johnson. He fought on the inside against an inside fighter and was completely abandoning his superior boxing talent, height, reach mobility and all around skills. He should have kept Johnson at bay, went to the body and got back out. Not trade with Johnson and give him his opportunities to win the fight. Like i have said before, this is a good learning experience for Dawson and he will become smarter from this fight and not make the same mistakes that he made. He would have won by shut out if he boxed Johnson the way he did Adamek. He didn't fight on the inside against Adamek because if he did, then he would have been knocked out.

Also, Hopkins has one stoppage in his last eight fights then again, he is also more motivated. He has rose to the occasion in all of his biggest fights when he had his ora down. He was the underdog against Trinidad and Tarver and he won both of those fights convincingly.

Also, who has concentrated on Calzaghe's body? Hopkins will try to slow Joe's legs down by going to the body early. It can happen.

Calzaghe is a great fighter with a weak resume, some of his fans are biased ****wits.

Records don't mean ****. Watch the damn fight. I get the feeling 90% of the posters here have Boxrec as their homepage (and I know you are certainly one of them, spouting your 1-22 record like its a badge of honour). To call a guy **** on the basis of his win-lose record is such a cop out. It means nothing. Even the 'tard originally saying Mercado was **** admits he ain't watched those fights with Hopkins

Rocky Graziano had a bunch of losses before he got a title shot. Ditto LaMotta. There are countless fighters with lots of L's in their record who it would be inexcusable to call ****. Period. Educate yourself.

So Mercado wasn't ****?

[SHB]

Biased ****wits? On here? No way.

MInd you his resume and Hopkins' aren't half similar, unless you include the welterweights.

[FRKO]

You know, Chunk, it's not even "Calzaghe lovers", it's boxing fans who are able to recognize a great fighter posting facts and well-thought out opinions in order shut up haters who consistently post buckets of complete horse ****. It gets sickening. Their repetitive drivel (mostly learned from other short-sighted idiots) becomes tiring, and it's almost ****ing impossible to escape from, short of turning off your PC and doing the washing up instead.

Cal***gy can't punch, he slaps. Duuuuhhhh....
Hopkins will take Cal***gy into deep waters.... duuuuhhhh....
Calzaghe never fought anyone.... duuuuhhhh...

You can get a better conversation out of the moronic zombies on Resident Evil.

[Kilrain]

I'll talk at ya when you watch the fights he had with Bernard. You know, when he went 19 rounds with a middleweight legend and dropped him twice. Boxrec only alludes to your ignorance

So Mercado wasn't ****?
