The B-hop that faced Tito Vs Calzaghe

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Maybe I should stop trying to reason and just go along with the theme of this thread.

"Calzaghe like totally PWNED Lacy so Hopkins would get destroyed. Lolz real talk"

Ah god please dont bring up Dela Hoya that got to be the most fake ass KO i ever saw, i dunno what went down there but damn that was pathetic, but thats another story.

[-EX-]

Pavlik elite? you threw his name in there for a cheap laugh ? even Glen Johnson i would debate but wtf Pavlik lol? just another Lacy really.. limited and over hyped.

Not that it matters, i don't see a Bhop Ko/tko he might have decent power but he aint Trinidad, Joe actually has a good chin don't let 2 first round KD make you think otherwise. Bhop one didnt even hurt him and Jones was an elbow..

If Bhop is more open and not clinching as much Joe's punch rate goes up and he gets a UD/SD

The middleweight champion of the world isn't elite? Ok...

His skills may be limited but he beat every1 he needed to beat and brutally KOed a top contender and the champ himself...

You can believe what you want...Bernard was winning the fight

I neva seen Oscar quit before that fight...what would be the point?

Calzaghe aint neva had any power to marvel over...B-Hop ruined fighters
The fight was in Vegas...ur talkin like it was Philly or Jersey...and B-Hop got booed

And 175 aint Bernard's best weight...

hopkins looked great at 175, it rejuvenated him after his taylor losses at 160 and he had atleast 6 lbs on calzaghe in their fight which is a weight class.

the fight was calzaghe's first in america, calzaghe is a home bird everyone knows that he also has a fear of flying so you can see how that could offset him?

Was it not a KO. Look Calzaghe was ahelluva champion, and I was a fan of his, but he wouldn't beat Hopkins in his prime.

Anyone fancy breaking down the fight without reference to previous opponents? Any takers?

Cos neither guy faced anyone like each other style-wise in their careers imo.

pavlik aint elite, good fighter but note elite.

elite gets thrown about too often.

I feel Hopkins won the fight when they did fight. Joe never hurt Hopkins with a legal punch was down himself and did a whole lot of nothin. Also when was Hopkins Prime? You ask me the Hopkins that Pavlik faced was better than the one that faced Trinidad. I also feel Trinidad never stood a chance in that fight anyway, but that counter Tito got smashed with may be Bernards best highlight.

Pretty sure Lacy held a world title to when he fought Calzaghe and he had a brutal KO record, was Lacy Elite fighter too? Pavlik vs another elite fighter the moment he stepped up like Lacy got found wanting period.
