Bernard Hopkins' record outside the states 1-0-1

[x-PeROxiDE-x]

according to who? I remember Byron Mitchell dropping Calzaghe. how is he any better?

According to the organisation who declared him their world champion, actually.

Would be two time world champion if he wasn't robbed against Otkke as well.

People overlook the home advantage part of boxing.

Americans get it their own way, what would happen if they were the ones travelling from their own comfort zone around the world to fight?

Not enough is made of this. Lets look at Bernard Hopkins for example, He decisioned some 8-8-1 bum in Paris and got a draw against a very unlucky Segundo Mercado who knocked Hopkins flat on his ass twice.

What happens when americans have crossed the boarder to fight?

Joe Calzaghe vs Jeff Lacy and Nigel Benn vs Gerald Mcclellan comes to mind...

You've never seen the fight. Quit trolling douchebag.

[βetamax]

is that boxrec or criminal rec???

What is that supposed to mean?

Go shag a corpse, *****.

popkins has got to have one of the least impressive resumes in the game, he did nothing but fight blown up welterweights, he fought a real opponent like calzaghe and he got dominated, i don't understand how he could have any fans!

Give me your round by round scoring IF you saw the fight.

This ought to be hilarious.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

Joe Calzaghe
Winky Wright
Antonio Tarver
Glen Johnson
Roy Jones
Trinidad
ODH
Jermain Taylor
And of course had the belts for 10 years and during that time period never even seen a single scorecard 116-112, meaning he beat all his opponents easy.

:smh: coming from a guy who likes Calzaghe who's resume isn't any better than hopkins

Joe Calzaghe-nearly send popkins to the ER
Winky Wright-he's not a true middleweight and popkins won by a hair
Antonio Tarver-way too inconsistent, i wouldn't call him anything but one-hit wonder!
Glen Johnson-i'll give you glen, so far he beat one fighter his weight division
Roy Jones-roy toyed with popkins
Trinidad-welterweight, try again
ODH-started career at like 130 pounds, try again
Jermain Taylor- lost to him twice!!! LOL!

i understand and agree that fighting outside your country puts you at a disadvantage...

but at the same time i seen STRONG bias in the hatton/lazcano fight.

in no way did i expect lazcano to win but the scoring of 12 rounds to none was COMPLETELY UNFAIR...

LMAO. So what you're saying is that Calzaghe likes to fight OLD bums with unimpressive resumes? And barely gets by them?
