Joe Calzaghe was not on the level of.....Jones, Hopkins, Toney

Same old ****ing arguments on NSB, here goes.....

Yes you are correct, Skills wise i have always found Calzaghe suspect, because he makes many amatuer mistakes during fights, mistakes that he has managed to cover up with quick hands and reflexes.

Hopkins was the one guy around who had a chance against Calzaghe, (I thought Hopkins did enough personally) he technically was on point but ran out of stamina. For me its never been a question of calzaghe being so great, its been a question of the right guy not getting a shot a calzaghe at the right time.

The guy who beats calzaghe needs to follow a similar blueprint to Hopkins, Parry the Jab and dont stand parallel to the lead, when hopkins was doing this by circling Calzaghe, Joe didnt have an answer but to simply throw as many punches as possible, he look desperate at times in that fight.

For me, there is a big question over wether Calzaghe can beat a top fighter by picking him off with single shots, alot of his victories of late are coming from this pitter pat crap which alot of it doesnt land clean, its very clever because judges these days are so ****ing dum they cant tell the difference between landed and blocked punches, so he picks up those rounds for free.

For me he just hasnt faced a fighter that can make him pay for his mistakes, a fighter that can parry the jab, circle, lead, then clinch him before he does the pitter patter would give him fits, and then we would really see if he could come up with a plan B. He fights off instinct, when jones and hopkins were able to make him fight tactically, they both had him in trouble.

Pretty much accurate for the most part.

Hopkins replied, 'kessler... are you serious! Is that the best you could come up with... Kesslers not on my level'... and started laughing.

That **** was funny.

Hopkins' response was so derisory, he couldn't even say Mikkel's name right.

"KASSLER?? WHO'S KASSLER???"

And this right here, sums it all up folks. The level of jealousy, nationalism and insecure ****sexual worship that most Joe fans seem to have.

What a joke.
