Bernard Hopkins is starting to grow on me.

[street bully]

you had time to count clinches(calzaghe was clinching a lot too) but not how many punches calzaghe landed (12)

also when scoring a fight is clinching in the 4 rules...........yea didn't think so. oh look what is! clean punching. well hopkins certainly did that. you keep scoring in your own silly way funny man.

Hopkins beat Clazaghe. Haters, and guys who don't count clean punches think otherwise.

Don't confuse Calzaghe's punches landed with Hopkins. Calzaghe wasn't clinching nowhere near as Hopkins.

Hopkins couldn't handle a pressure fighter that's actually good around his own size.


I'm willing to bet if Calzaghe had to come up like 10+ pounds like the typical Hopkins opponent, Hopkins wouldn't of clinched as much.

Calzaghe still landed punches whether they were slaps or not.

Hopkins lost........defensive style fans, Hopkins' huggers, Sore Americans that hate losing to Brits think otherwise.

Hopkins only lost because of a judge who retired after that fight decided to penalize him for the white boy comment.

He was 43 dude. Damned ancient by boxing standards. Better fighter didn't win that night. The younger guy did. Calzaghe won don't get me wrong I gave him the fight by a point but he won because Hopkins was not the same fighter he once was.

43 years old = Past a fighters prime. Had Hopkins been 41 or younger IMO he would've pulled a Tarver type performance on Joe.

um no he didn't. seriously he didn't. they weren't even landing.

anyway you just admitted you don't even follow the rules while scoring a fight and frankly that's the only way anyone can see calzaghe a winner in that fight.
i could see calzaghe winning if i made up my own rules too. like he threw and missed more! he totally backed hopkins up!(but ran into punches) he made hopkins act like a ***** after a low blow! etc......

Like Joe was any younger??
Calzaghe is a lot better than Tarver. So I doubt it......maybe if he was like the guy in the 160 days, but that's about it. my 2c.

I watched the fight once very closely, and slowed it down when I needed to. I kid you not Calzaghe on average did not land more than 6 punches around.

How the hell did I admit I don't follow the rules idiot???


Calzaghe landed punches too. Maybe not in the style of Hopkins but a punch landed is a punch landed.

I still laugh at the "O ****" face Hopkins made in that fight. Simply Priceless .

Calzaghe was 36. At 36 Hopkins beat the **** out of Holmes and Tito. Joe was at his ABSOLUTE prime against Hopkins. Ffs he had just beat up Kessler, and Tarver in his prime was not worse than Calzaghe. No way no ****ing how.
