When you resort to holding for long periods of the fight, and faking low blows, and then come out and insult the person, I consider that to be pretty sad.
Calzaghe is such a bad fighter, but still he made Hopkins fight that way. What does that say about Hopkins?
If someone gives you a hard fight, then you should acknowledge it or if you're that upset, say nothing. Continually insulting Calzaghe makes him seem like a sore loser and make him look worse because of the way Hopkins fought that fight.
Mayweather gave Hatton credit after the fight. Loads of boxers give a guy credit after the fight, even if it was one-sided.
the fact that people can't seem to sway either ones opinion on the fight is the EXACT!!!! reason why there needs to be another fight, joe needs to give a rematch, plain and simple................ let the fists do the talking.........
and i'm willing to bet that if there is another fight, be prepared to have it become the best two out of three because hopkins is going to beat calzaghe if calzaghe steps up like a real champ should..............instead of being overly protective of his 0.........

Joe won fair and squeare Bhop will just try and clinch and hold again... no need for a rematch. Would like to see CD and JC get it on.
hopkins is, and he knows the history of this country.
that pic i have on my profile...thats my baby. she's from ukraine, got a granfather darker than i am...she told me she couldn't believe the way white ppl over here looked at blacks, cuz it wasn't like that in her country.
no matter how much you wanna equate it, it aint the same dogg....a racist white person doesn't like blacks for the simple color of their skin. period.
a racist black, on the other hand, doesn't like a white person, npt b/c of their skin color, but b/c of what the history is....
u almost gotta sit back and think about it for a second and put it in perspective. racist black ppl didn't just wake up one day and say "i hate white ppl," in their own mind they have a justifiable reason....white ppl have no reason to hate blacks...wtf did we do?
personally, ive grown to love ppl no matter their color or nationality, obviously, and i long for the day EVERY1 feels that way....
but no matter how you wanna slice it and dice it, its more painful when a white person is racist towards a black person b/c it drudges up a painful past, and 10 times outta 10, its for no good reason, whites should hate blacks. on the other hand, blacks see it as kind of retaliatory......
u ppl can't be serious.....to think it hurts whites more to be prejudiced by blacks than the other way around.....
So it could happen. But damn that fight was boring.
What would Hopkins actually do differently? he'd say he'll knock Calzaghe out then he'll fight on the backfoot the whole fight and clinch every time Joe got anything off. It would be another **** fight and Joe would win a wide decision in Cardiff.
That's what would happen in a nutshell. It's not like boxing would suffer if it didn't take place.
