    You don't like calzaghe, everyone gets it.

    18 posts and not one decent contribution.
    Hopkins was gassed because hes 43.

    Hopkins lost that fight moreso then Joe winning it.

        Tech Skill - he's the light heavyweight champ, simple as. If he stays at the weight for more than one fight he should fight the top contender (Dawson probably) but he is the LHW champ, make no mistake.

        When is the last time floyd or Hatton defended their titles against the top contenders?

          Vitali would take a fight with Tyson TODAY for that reason alone.

          Never underestimate dreams I say.

          You're welcome, you had it coming

              Abadger......if you take off the Joe Calzaghe shades.

              You will see that mentioning Eubank, Lacy, Kessler and a 43 year old shell Hopkins does not make your case for him being great.

                Obviously, he's one dimensional like calzaghe, all i had to do was fient him in, then time the counter.

                  Weak.
                  We don't really consider Ali's destruction of Archie Moore as impressive, due to Archie's advanced age.
                  Should we have double standard to favor Calzaghe?

                  Kessler & Lacy did not even approach elite level. Eubank did, but some say he was old too. I don't know, I'm not an expert on Eubank either.

                    Guys, this is so weak and repetitive it is unbelievable. We've seen it all before.

                    What do you get out of constantly posting this negative bull****?

                      But they have a legitimate point whether you like it or not.
