Joe Calzaghe, who last Saturday decisioned recognized light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins, is calling himself the legend killer. Calzaghe's victory will probably send Hopkins, 43, into retirement, but the Welsh fighter is not that far behind. He would like to fight one more time, hopefully against Roy Jones Jr, and then retire undefeated. [details]

Sorry Cal... Tarver took on that "Moniker" after his K.O victory over RJJ. You may have "Helped" him rationalize that his best years are definitely him. But, legend KILLER......................Heeelllll NO. -
Hello forum posters.
I would hardly call his performance the killing of a legend.Comment

Calzaghe is so unoriginal it hurts. He stole Hatton's throat-slit gesture in December, now Tarver's moniker too. Next he'll be calling himself the Greatest of all time, Ali-shuffling.Comment

the fact of the matter is history will say that Calzaghe beat a 43 year old hopkins getting knocked down in the 1st and winning a close decision... Legend killer? no book will ever say that and that's not even arguable. Calzaghe is good and deserves some credit but that does not change the fact it will go down in history as a win that he recieves little credit for.Comment

you usually kill a "legend" when they are at the peak of their power, ruling their nest, not when they are one fight removed from retirement. when it's all said and done, calzaghe did beat hopkins, a win is a win, but people will always say that b-hop was already at the end. calzaghe beat a former legend, not the legendLast edited by Boogie Nights; 04-21-2008, 09:55 AM.Comment
