Nigel Benn: "Calzaghe Beats Me, Hagler, Hearns, Sugar"

[Zocalo]

i respect benns opinion a billion times more than yours he was in the ring fighting wars theres only one ring your ever gonna be in and its not a boxing ring i dont care what anyone says hopkins now is just as good as he has been over the years and plenty of ppl say the same thing you opinions your own but to me i think benn will know a bit more than anyone on here

Honestly, use spell check. You would think that someone from England of all places would know how to type in English. Ever heard of a period? I guess I need to lower my expectation of people once more.

I don't care what you think. You can think whatever you want. I am here to say my opinion. I am sorry that you can't accept it or deal with it.

What's the common ground in both cases though? Neither fighter had the young legs to keep up. Give Jones his speed back and give me even a 2007 version of Hopkins and he gets the decision.

no neither fighter could take joes beating like i say i wanted jones to beat him but he didnt and i dont think he would have then either and i dont think bhop would either its just ppl dont like that he lost and just like bhop are bitter he was beated by a better fighter hopkins is just as good now as he was then and i think it would have been the same again a joe points win due to the work rate he puts in

I don't see how you can say Joe beats Hearns Joe gets tko'd or ko'd if he gets droped by Jones and Hopkins with one punch what do you think will happend when The Hitman hits him with the life taking right or those monstrous combinations that can break downs bodies and cause head to bounce off canvas and he can box

Former champion and UK legend, Nigel Benn, has a lot of respect for his countryman Joe Calzaghe. After weeks of speculation, the Welsh fighter announced his retirement on Thursday. Benn says that Calzaghe always stepped up his game against the best opponents like Jeff Lacy, Mikkel Kessler, Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr. He even goes as far as admitting that Calzaghe would have likely beaten him if the two of them were around in the same era. [details]

if Calzaghe was around in the 80s he would be a nobody. Hearns, Hagler, and Sugar Ray KILL calzaghe.

WTF!!! Poor nigel he must be suffering from dementia to even of have made that comment. Calz couldnt of beaten Hopkins and Jones JR if they had still been in their prime. I doubt he would of even gone the distance with them. Unlike Calz, Leonard, Hagler, Hearns and Duran are true legends who took risks.

Benn needs to stop smoking crack... Im am a fan of Joe, but honestly, Joe beat Lacy who is no a bum, Kessler who is not an A class fighter, Hopkins who many beleieved won the fight and is 44, and Jones who should have retired years ago, and now people think he could beat a prime SRL, Hernes, Duran, and Hagaler? GET REAL!!!!!!
Again stop smoking crack Benn...

green k for you

Leave Hopkins out of that. What happened there was no "beating." Seems like some of you are forgetting Hop looked like he just came out of the locker room while Cal had a busted bridge and got KD.

[Edward Hitler]

all fighters get knocked down joe just happened to do it twice but they never did it again so i dont think it counts seen as how he came back and beat both of them ur crazy if think hes that easy to drop i no y dont u fight him and see what happens im pretty sure he would hit u with half a punch and u would spend the next 3weeks eating thru a straw y dont you ask roy jones what he thinks id say bhop but we all know hes a cry baby who cant accept he lost

[Robenson]

If joe will use his killer slaps he could knock out hagler and hearns. Ow wait, Benn is on crack.
