Let's all agree now. Calzaghe is an ATG.

      The problem with this theory is that Hopkins could've easily potshotted Pavlik if he wanted to and still won. The fact that he didn't potshot and was commited to combination punching means Hopkins is looking to win decisively rather than looking to win narrowly.

      Styles make fights and Hopkins fought the wrong style against Calzaghe. A combination punching Hopkins can beat Calzaghe.

        You are correct. Hop looked different to me and to many others including HBO (if that even matters) who have been watching him for years.

        Pav had nothing to do with him being able to run around punch in numbers and LAST all 12 rounds while not showing the old age of 43. Hop took off his "seat belt" and is looking for the KO'S while taking chances unlike in the past.

        When he fought joe, he did not. His fans don't look at this. They are STILL trying to MAKE and force people into believing (lol good luck) Joe is not something of the great or an ATG. They can waste there time. He'll be lucky if he makes it into the HOF.......

          Even the yanks must now acknowledge. Joe Calzaghe is an ALL-TIME-GREAT!
          Triangle = FAIL!


          Calzaghe is an over protected fighter with a ****ty resume...who didnt want to fight Pavlik..and now after Hops demolished him Cazaghe doesnt want a rematch...when Hops said hell go to England to fight him....

          Please...


          No one wil remember Calzaghe.

            Your a deluded wishful thinking guy WESS, sorry you just are.

            Joe has the relentlessness, skills, movement, feinting, tactics and adaptability that Hops could not handle, hence not looking so good and losing.

            Styles makes fights.

              agreed. You also forgot to mention that Lil Joe picked Pav to beat Hop....

              But yes you are correct. This is just one of reasons people dislike and will easily forget him.

              Again, he will be lucky if he makes it into the HOF...

                  No triangles here. It means that the 43 year old fighter Joe defeated wasn't shot at all.

                    Hopkins is a sure fire ATG and a legend for a reason...

                    Calzaghe is no where near that....still....and he even beat Hopkins.





                    Calzaghe you want to be great....

                    Beat Roy.

                    Beat Dawson.

                    Beat Hopkins again.


                    Til then hes a nobody with a good workrate.
