Calzaghe admits punching Hopkins low was deliberate

[Ras44]

Who cares?

Mayweather fought Dirty against Hatton.

Clazaghe has did against Hopkins.

We should care. Boxing is war, and if you get away with it, fine. That doesn't mean I relinquish my right to call the fighter a cheat, or arrogant. Mayweather cheating was wrong, Bernard cheating was wrong, and Calzaghe telling reporters he hit Bernard with a low blow in the second round like he has a right to because he was just floored is also wrong. But if you can get away with it, well, good for you. He got away with it and got the decision, so congratulations!

I know it's wrong and I don't agree with it. The Mayweather Hatton fight pissed me off, I knew Ricky would lose but I atleast wanted it to go to a decision for a bit of pride.

But at the end of the day it appears to be what Champions do, also both cases were quite ironic considering the "dirty" (Debatable) fighters got dirtied on.

Hatton should have never accepted that fight at 147 pounds. It was clear he did not carried his ko power in his fight against Collazo. He should have tried to beat Mayweather at 140, where he had exhibited power. But money talks...

Calzaghe knew Hopkins was going to use every dirty trick in the book, he went in and played him at his own game.

low blows>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>...elbows

low blows are even worse than rabbit punches.. he admitted trhe reason he did it was because he was hurt....

joe really didn't do himself any favours this past week

That's kind of what Mayweather did, apart from Hatton aint that dirty.

And I think one little low blow that Joe did, was not as bad as Hopkins head butting.

What so you're saying you wouldn't relish the chance to take on the p4p number one?

He didn't have to step out of his comfort zone, he stepped up to the challenge something Calzaghe is only just starting doing.

Of course the money would have eased the pain a bit, but at the end of the day it weren't about that.

Ricky lost his 0 and has deeply upset after, even crying?

So think before you spout bollocks about he only took him on for the money.

I can't believe he told the "London Daily Mail" that. If I were him I'd have told a real paper that actually exists.

Hopkins was hitting joe all night pretty low and ALSO joe says that he got him back for knocking him down. if i was getting hit in the balls all night id give a few back.

LOOK AT THE NUTHUGGERY. How the hell do you say you get someone back for a KNOCKDOWN by lowblowing them. That being said it is a fight and Hopkins isn't a nice guy in the ring himself.
