    "Joe throws 50 pitty-pat punches, lands only 5" Bernard Hopkins

    Joe throws 50 pitty-pat punches, lands only 5 and the fighter comes out without even a scar on him. He threw punches but they were ineffective. Kelly Pavlik is a little different.
    He also said Pavlik is far more dangerous then Calzaghe


    I know most of you have already read this but i felt like what hopkins said about calzaghe deserved its own thread. Calzaghe stans need to realize that hes not that good. Hes a skilled boxer...ill give him that but he doesnt even punch, he slaps. Pavlik would make Calzaghe look real bad...i hope the 2 of them fight at some point. Im suprised that most of this site thinks calzaghe would win.

    Hopkins knows the deal...he knows hes going up against a less skilled opponent but an opponent with a gun that needs to be smothered. I hate to say this but i dont see hopkins winning...but i dont see him gettin embarrassed either. I could see pavlik embarrassing calzaghe if the two of them fight in the future. But first calzaghe will get exposed by roy jones.

    Thats what I'm saying. Calzaghe fights like a ******. Its like landing where ever you can to convince th judges. The objective in boxing is to punch. Calzaghe is P4P number 1 at slap boxing. Is there a slap boxing sport??

      wow, I was expecting Hopkins to give Calzaghe LOADS of credit for that win. I was expecting Hopkins to say every punch hurt him.

      This isnt the Hopkins I know..

            Calslappy is a bum...The best pound for pound? Hes not even in the top ten...Maybe hes the best Slap for Slap fighter in the world.

                you said it best. The only other calzaghe fight i had seen was one on hbo maybe a year ago. I forget his opponents name but the ref called the fight i think in the 10th round when calzaghe was throwing several punche...uh...slaps and his opponent did not respond so the ref called the fight. I thought it was a bad call...most of the punches were missing and the ones that were landing did not look effective. Then i saw him against hopkins and i noticed the same thing...very little power to his punches. How is this guy called a great fighter? Hopkins a couple years ago woulda easily won. I look forward to seeing roy jones embarrass him and i would love to see kelly pavlik knock calzaghes ass out in 8 rounds or less.

                  nuff said, now watch the Calzaghe fans overload the thread.

                  If Bhop didnt gas so fast due to his age I feel he wouldve put Calzaghe to sleep

                    it baffles me that people were saying this guy calslappy had more Boxing skills then pacquiao thats why they put him as number 1 over pac.
