Unbelievable that just hours after Joe becomes a two weight world champion, against a top 10 p4p fighter, we're back to these same arguments about Calzaghe's record and resume.
Let go of the hype, the anger at his win, being a fan of another fighter, and just give the man his dues.
I promise you, you'll feel better afterwards.
Ive given Joe his props for lasting 12 rounds with a legend and making it competive, but to say he has power is absurd, lets be real. Bernard Hopkins on his resume legitimizes Joe, so no need to name off people like B.Mitchell like that proves something.
I was indifferent to both fighters going into this. I've seen BHop fight more and his style is kinda boring to the average eye. Calzaghe rubbed me the wrong way tonight. I don't know what body shots you're talking about. He gets NOTHING behind his punches. Hop was never hurt. Because he asks for a cold towel that means his body hurts??? It made me want to puke all over myself watching Calzaghe drop his hands like a prime roy jones, raise his hands between every round, and wiggle his ass after the low blow. Do that **** when you are decisiviley winning. Instead he made himself look like an idiot. And it's hard to be the idiot when your fighting someone like Hopkins who runs his mouth 24/7 before fights.

That's beating a legend there.
I think Calzaghe's power is an open debate. In his early career his reputation was built on being a puncher, so I think that's why Mitchell is being mentioned. Joe had tons of broken hands and wrists so he hasn't punched hard for a long time. Even if he used to have power, I guess we might as well say he doesn't anymore.
Seriously, I'm glad you see him as legitimate now. Peace.

I don't think it quite does. It was apparent the Hop was trying to conserve his energy. He's never been a high volume puncher but tonight was a decrease. No matter what hop says, age takes a toll, especially when you're seven from fifty.

If you actually seen the fight it doesnt, but in history you will see that Joe has a win over Hopkins is what i mean.
Calzaghe just won a fight against a legend who ruled the middleweight division for a decade and he is afraid of pavlik because he seems to be bent on fighting RJJ? What kind of ****in statement is that?

Calzaghe just won a fight against a legend who is way past his prime. He'll way his options and see it's not worth getting his ass kicked by Pavlik and will instead slap around another has been fighter with a low punch output.
