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

[Jan(DK)]

I was only playing. I too am a big Kessler fan, only for the love of God, someone needs to make him start fighting!

I wasn't that worried - i read and respect your opinions.
About Hopkins and Calzaghe i just think, that this is a fight that split boxing fans and judges in how to score a fight. And i think the more precise, hard hits, wining the in fight and controlling of the fight is all about boxing - the noble art of self-defense.
I saw a great fighter - Calzaghe - showboating, low blows, happy slapping, and hitting air all night and a trainer in all out frustrations.
I am a Kessler fan - so obviously i don't like trash talkers like Mundine, Miranda and Hopkins.
I just think Calzaghe lose.

ESPN's own ****ing scorecard had Mercado winning the fight by 1 round. THe judges were surprisingly not biased, after the two 10-8 rounds for Mercado.
Yes Hopkins had 1 genuine knockdown against Mercado that was not scored(ref said slip).

I'd have scored it for Hopkins if he had thrown at anything approaching a decent volume, he did land the better shots. As it was he was outlanded by Joe massively, even if they weren't the best punches. Throw in the fact that Joe was the one forcing the pace and I'd say it was a clear Calzaghe win.

Since you like Kessler and Calzaghe, I'm guessing you're expecting a much better performance from Joe if he fights Pavlik?

Sure i will. The best match up for Calzaghe to. He for so long again and again said, that the big US-fighters were afraid to meet him. If Calzaghe is a man of words, he shouldn't take on the "old" Jones or Winky, but force his way to fight Pavlik or Taylor. Now it is all up to team Calzaghe and Warren, they are in the driving seat and can demand who to fight.

I never said Hatton would win so that's complete BS.

Find me that post please. If I did say it, I wouldn't have ment it and just used it in a UK vs USA discussion to piss off the yanks.

Yeah that was sure a joke wasn't it? Stop being such a two faced lying bastard. At least MAN UP and OWN up to what you said. Idiot.

And don't even think about trying to edit that **** out.

This thread has turned into a nightmare for Ricky.

I predicted Mayweather would win a UD you ass hole, I've also said many times on this board that Mayweather would get KOed by Cotto and other opponents (which I didn't mean) winding up *****s is just fun...

You had another thread where you called me a "liar' and that you would "never say" that Hatton won. Basically that I made it up.

You can lie about this or spin it all you want, but you made this prediction ONE DAY BEFORE THE FIGHT. If you look at the thread, there is NO attempt at humor made, or winding anyone up. It's a straight prediction thread.

HATTON MAYWEATHER FINAL PREDICTIONS:

Does this look like a windup thread to you? There is no context for that. Stop being a complete SPINELESS coward. Man up. I know Joe has a hard time doing that, but better yourself, at least Joe is trying to.
