If Calzaghe could beat Hopkins by just slapping

[ИATAS]

Hopkins pushed him down, it wasn't a legit knockdown IMO.

yeah, he totally pushed him down with his closed fist crashing into his face, thus causing calzaghe to fall. totally illegal.

Sort of. The punch definitely buckled his legs but Hopkins did kind of walk into him after the punch. I still call it a knock down because the punch is what really did it but I see your point. I'm just being obnoxious to this alt, that's all

he was on his way down hops just gave him some assistance

actually now that I watch it again hops barely touches him, that's a legit KD w/o question.

Exactly. From the first angle is looks like he helped with pushing him down. However, with the second angle it's clear that he barely touched him.

A sneaky right hand while Joe was throwing a punch. I agree, it was a legit knockdown.

After which fight was that Pavlik picture in your avatar taken? Must be Taylor 1...?

After the Lockett fight.

Young Calzaghe blasts Hopkins out early, I agree

Third that, young and angry Calzaghe beats any version of Hopkins.

It was a balance knockdown. A brilliant move by Hopkins, but people here talked like Joe was almost knocked out. He wasn't even slightly hurt, just off balance

Who said he was almost knocked out? It was a good knockdown but Joe wasn't really hurt by it.
