The list grows

If calzaghe hadn't come to fight and didn't come forward there wouldn't have been a fight. Hopkins is a boring **** and i can't see how anyone can defend him, even you dumb, cheese steak loving, fat yanks.

Are you serious man? What the hell do you have against cheese steak?

The flaw with that logic is that Calzaghe throws a lot of flurries and they don't all do damage, or anything in particular. Some do, and I think he kept it close, so a lot of them did on Saturday, in one way or another. However, fans who are biased (or atleast want a particular fighter to win) will cheer regardless of if the punches land. The Americans, as you said were far outnumbered. Hopkins throws one punch at a time, with some combinations. However, that isn't the combination for rowdy American cheers.

Very good point and never really thought about it that way.

Really reminds you of De La Hoya dont it? I swear the dude can throw a four punch combo and make his fans and announcers go crazy without landing anything.

Yeah, a De La Hoya example of that would be his fight with Whitaker. Thru 90 punches, crowd went crazy, only thing he landed was the fight date. De La Hoya atleast thru with power, so the danger was there.

However, Calzaghe has power, but takes the speed route. Which is cool. Calzalghe can land much more often, though. Hopkins is just very elusive.

I thought Hopkins won also. He didn't get the decision. What else can you say man? The fights over an it's in the record books: Calzaghe W SD Hopkins. I don't agree but O'well.

agreed now move the **** on!!!!!

This is a boxing forum. Why not talk about NON STOP BOXING?

I still didn't see Calzaghe landing much of anything the whole fight. I have to laugh when people say he out worked Hopkins. Thats another reason why I feelmost are fanboys on this forum. You can't watch boxing for years and still not be able to distinguish what lands and what does'nt. If Hopkins throws 30 punches and lands 5 and Calzaghe throws 70 and lands 3, thats Hopkins round. They might not like his style but unless you get penalyzed for clinching, its not so illegal. By the way, I'm not buying the punch stat numbers at all.

Bloody hell Hopkins lost get ***in over it man! lol
There will be something else next week and all this will be forgotten about

[Hagler★]

i may not mention it but i wont 4get this cos its too much of a snuff for a great boxer to hav been wrong like this. he clearly did not lose this fight in my eyes and is being penalised for non boxing reasons
