    JESUS CHRIST. Calzaghe deserves more credit.

    I just made a topic giving logical reasons why he would beat Hopkins Prime 4 Prime and all I get is a ton of bull **** replies calling me biased etc.

    Some people gave decent answers but even then they stretched the truth (Hopkins has faster hands than Joe).

    Joe Calzaghe is EASILY in the category of Toney, Hopkins and Roy and I think he is better than them, bar Roy.

    Hopkins has never impressed me that much in his prime (and yes, I've watched his fight vs Johnson). He looked ruthless but Johnson hadn't fought anyone at the time and was coming in off a loss over Omar Shieka FFS (Calzaghe destroyed him in 5). Johnson only got good late in his career.

        Agree completely. An objective look at Calzaghe's career reveals a SMW of genuinely exceptional talent. Most importantly the three fighters he is most often compared to, Hopkins, Jones Jr and Toney:

        have all lost to worse boxers than Joe Calzaghe!

            This is the sort of thing I mean.

            "Calslappy" is an insult already. "Has a **** chin and no power" - WHAT?

            Now I understand this kid is 17 and clearly one of the biggest Floyd **** suckers on this forum but I expect more off some people.

                Johnson was undefeated when B-Hop starched him! UNDEFEATED!

                  It seems you take this a little too personally. Joe doesn't know you exist bro. I for one KNOW he is a great fighter but haters will be haters, deal with it. Plus some of the nuthuggery you show doesn't help your cause.

                    johnson was undefeated when he fought hopkins. and didn't you see the fight where a 43 year old hopkins made calzaghe look like a fool and calzaghe posed no problems for hopkins cept for making him laugh with his windmill impersonation which was spot on. 2 thumbs up! on the other hand hopkins posed huge problems for calzaghe cause everytime he threw he landed and shook him and knocked him down once and almost a second time but the round ended. imagine if hopkins had thrown more punches like he did in his prime. calzaghe isnt better cause he ko'd sheika im so sorry.
