Why is Bernard continuing to get a pass for the Zaghe fight?

[Deja_Vous]

According to Roach he was dealing with an hyperactive thyroid which could have affected his stamina. Just something to consider...

I knew something had to wrong.

If he fought Pavlik the way he did Joe he'd still be in a coma.

How can you say talk is cheap, when Calzaghe has said almost all his fights are easy, but never grants rematches?

I like Calzaghe, I don't mind him saying this. But you can't be of the mind that it's okay for him to talk, but not for Hopkins to chase a rematch.

Only two of Joe's fights were ever close enough to even suggest a rematch was in order.

The first was against Robin Reid, who himself said that he didn't do enough to win the fight.

The second was against Hopkins, but how that was scored a SD is still beyond me even now.

Maybe Joe could have granted Bernard a rematch, but Joe wanted to go out on the top, and in his mind he had to beat RJJ to do that. He knew he didn't have much left in the tank at this stage, so why would he give a rematch to somebody he had already beaten? (IMO more convincingly than the scores suggested)

Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to see a rematch, but Bernard would have had to come to Wales for this one and I honestly don't think he would have been prepared to do that, no matter what he said (can't remember if he said he would or not, but I suppose it's irrelavant now anyway)

Last I remeber that didn't happen against Zaghe, more like the opposite. Tarver and Tito were defeated at the press conference. Zaghe never gave a ****, Hopkins looked shook, the weigh in was actually real funny

I didn't say it did happen against Joe. Bernard was more right than wrong...

He wasn't supposed to beat Tarver, Pavlik, or Trinidad.

And people didn't think he could beat Winky either...

[Mr.Fantastic]

He fought scared and he was terrified of The Italian Dragon. He took timeouts, he held, he clinched. He's never acted that scared in any other fight, he's never been that kind of a sheep in any other fight. Joe took his manhood there man, Bernard pissed himself by the middle of the rounds. I think Bernard was punked off way before even at the weigh-in it's just that Bhop got lucky with the kd and he was still scared to go for the kill.

IN ALL OF HIS FIGHTS BHOP HAS NEVER FOUGHT MORE SCARED AND LOOK FOR A WAY OUT AS HE DID AGAINST ZAGHE and he's getting a pass for it cause he was past his "prime".

Bhop was a better fighter when he destroyed Tarver, Pavlik and when he beat Winky. Afterall he fought P4P fighters who are legitimately big guys and not just a p4p fighter moving from 147 who ends up being a fatty with some fat *******.

I've been saying it all along. The look on Hopkins face against Calzaghe was priceless at times. He had that "O****!!" face. He thought it was going to be easy but he thought wrong.

Say wat?

He had to box and move to take away Calzaghe's output. He made Joe look like ****.

Are you kidding? You're clearly Bias, I love the Hell outta B-Hop and Calzaghe, but Bernard lost the **** out of that fight. Joe landed more punches on B-Hop than anyone else Bernard has faced, and you're saying he made Joe look like ****? you're kidding...

And don't get me started on that hole my groin is in my navel **** his was trying to pull, that was disgraceful, I was almost done with hopkins after this fight (in fact this was the fight that made me appreciate calzaghe) B-hop won me back the way he handled pavlik, but he has to admit the calzeghe fight was a bad night.

I am glad yuo saw it that way too. Most people are so blinded by Hopkins's tough guy persona, and Bhop is one mean tough mofo, but in this fight he was kind of like a sheep.

James Toney to me has the greatest toguh guy persona and even when he got obliterated by Jones he was never scared, he was always tough. He didn't look to foul in out or away, that's why James will always be the tougher guy. Bhop got punked out by a white boy

[DIB42]

don't get me started on that hole my groin is in
