Boxasmash, Does it hurt you that B-Hop made Calzaghe look silly?

[MGA HIGANTE]

A past prime 43 year old Hopkins > A prime Calzlage.

sorry sir but they were both past their primes when they fought.

[Addition]

Why would it hurt boxasmash when his boy won the fight? What a ****** thread.

Joe may have been past his prime but not as much as Bernard...

Bernard has made the majority of his opponents recently look bad...Jermain beat him and looked terrible late...Joe edged out a SD and Bernard had him swingin at air at times...

I don't see how Joe would deal with a prime Bernard...prime Bernard didn't have to worry about his stamina and actually pressured certain opponents...

He wasn't past prime at all. He looked spectacular against Kessler, and then looked horrible like everyone does against Hopkins.

can people watch this fight with a close eye and actually use the rules of judging to score it. don't just use silly code words like calzaghe outworked him or calzaghe made the fight. use the actual rules. at the end of each round ask yourself who landed the clean punches? who had better defense? who used effective agression? (missing equals ineffective sorry!) who was the ring general? if you do that honestly you will see find out hopkins won.

You guys make little sense.

How old was joe in their fight?

i think the same age BHop was when he beat tito.

joe (like BHop) havent taken much damage in his career. both hit their primes in their mid 30s. in other words joe was in his prime when he fought hopkins, no matter what his birth certificate says. just like BHop was still game when he fought calzaghe, even though his age would say he wasnt. BHop wasnt in his prime though.

joe threw alot but he wasnt landing, hopkins landed clean effective shots. he hurt joe 3-4 times in the fight, and was in control for the first 9 rounds or so.

joe just missed, not only do missed punches not score, but the oponent acctually scores on defense, something lots of ppl overlook. just like ring generalship. fans who dont know boxing dont score these things, they cant tell a glansing blow from a clean blow eighter. or even a landed punch from a missed punch. ppl who know boxing know BHop won. 115-112.

Don't past prime gas up easily? I dont see that on Calzaghe. Past primes gassed up easily.

This was a close fight therefore there are arguments to say that either fighter could have won, we aren't talking about a Lewis Holyfield 1 type decision here.

Joe got the nod...end of story.

Also if Hopkins was so past his prime then how was he able to completely school Pavlik after this fight??? Styles make fights I know but Pavlik was the new big thing and he was in his prime yet Hopkins was able to look a league above him???

Because Pavlik is utter ****, him and Margarito are the most overrated fighters ever
