    What's Joe's motivation? 'Hey come out of retirement Joe, fight the guy you already beat in another bore-fest so that idiots can continue making jokes about you only fighting old people and dismiss the fight because Bernard was past-it'

    Calzaghe fought Hopkins in America and despite a flash knockdown and a ref allowing Hopkins to get away with crap that would have made Ricky Hatton blush, he still came out the winner.
    Bernard had twelve rounds in his own country, with a sympathetic ref and he failed to get job done. Case closed.

    I don't think it's a coincidence that the two most hated fighters on this site are Calzaghe and Mayweather. People seem to watch the the careers of these arrogant fighters hoping to see the smirks wiped off their faces and when it doesn't happen they console themselves with making lame jokes and and discussing what could have been. Thus in their minds Calzaghe is always running from Hopkins and Dawson (before being exposed it was Pavlik) and Floyd is always running from Cotto and Paq. Despite being in thirty and forty plus fights each, it was always going to be that mythical next bout, that next fighter, that's when it would happen. People often say that guys like Roy and Holyfield should hang it up, stop living in the past and realise it just isn't going to happen, it's about time Calzaghe and Mayweather haters did the same thing.

      You seem very paranoid or just plain dumb

      Something i have noticed over time reading your posts


      Joe Cortez seemed to let Hopkins do his usual routine of headbutting and excessive holding in the fight

      But thats ok because it was against a Euro fcukin Phag and every fight that occurs in America is fair. right?

      *Sidenote- Don't link a fight that occured in Germany like one of the ignorant know nothing tards on this site would do
      it was a hypothetical situation

                  116-111, 115-112 for Calzaghe, 114-113 for Hopkins.

                  HBO's unofficial ringside judge Harold Lederman scored it 116-111 for Calzaghe.

                    I understand why you don't like his style, but you seriously under-estimate his skills and ring intelligence.

                    Also, Hopkins makes everyone he ever fought look bad. And Jones is also a counter-puncher. Calzaghe looks far better against offensive fighters, rather than counter-punchers. He looked far better against Kessler, Lacy, Mitchell, Eubanks and Brewer, for example.

                      Yes. that pretty much sums the fight up. Even if Hopkins took a rematch.It Still would look ugly and he would lose and still moan. Not enough workrate to deal with Zaghe
