yea thanks man thats what i was tring to get at green k for youI hear what you're saying and it happens a lot with some Calzaghe fans that criticize Bhop.
For one, they don't realize critizing bhop and saying he really wasn't that good in the first place or whatever only makes Calzaghe look bad, because after all, he got a split decision in a very close fight and got dropped by a 43 year old version of bhop.
Second, Calzaghe and Bhop (love 'em or hate 'em) are similar in many ways. Their resumes are similar in that they both were champions for 10+ years and had 20+ title defenses and unified the belts. Hopkins has the bigger names on his resume, there is no dis*****g that. Calzaghe undefeated. You point and criticize bhop's resume, you're a hypocrite. And vise versa.
Third, to critisize bhop for wins over "smaller men" i.e trinidad and odh, is ****** for many reasons. For one, Trinidad/ODH were threats and challenged bhop and/or had titles. Two, do you honestly believe for a second that Calzaghe wouldn't jump on the oppurtinity to get paid more money then he ever has in his career to fight a "smaller man" like ODH? haha, he fought Peter Manfredo Jr. for money/exposure for crying out loud. Calzaghe can only hope he gets a huge payday like that before he retires (I mean that's what he's doing right now, going after big pay days, 40 year old Roy Jones jr and uh, the "smaller man" Kelly Pavlik).
Regardless though, both men should be respected for what they've done inside and outside of the ring despite whether or not you like the guy or not.
And like it or not, because they fought, their two names will forever be linked to eachother. So if you're a fan of one over the other, it serves no purpose to downplay the other mans legacy.Comment

I can agree with that almost completely.I hear what you're saying and it happens a lot with some Calzaghe fans that criticize Bhop.

this is plain and basic common senseI hear what you're saying and it happens a lot with some Calzaghe fans that criticize Bhop.
