    And the right after the head. You slappy fans are still butt hurt. I thought we moved on from this and all agreed that a bit younger, more active Hopkins would've won in a much better fashion since Calzaghe largely has B level skills and preserved his unbeaten streak by fighting B-level mandatories for most of his career..

    Are you not part of that group agreement?

      Even with all that bull-crap he did in the Calzaghe fight, it was Calzaghes jab that was landing on bhops face and body.
      Are you talking about bernard? clich and bernard are inseparable, in case you have forgotten.

          If Hopkins didn't hug Calzaghe for his dear life he would of been Lacyed.
          He threw some punches in the Tito fight. In the Tarver fight he landed 11 a round. That's some serious work.

          Jesus, at least Eric Harding legitimately knocked Tarver down. With dynamic Hop even that part was debatable.

          Joe threw a lot of slaps, but **** at least he threw.

          Hop can hang in, and be there, which I admire, and get in a couple of nice nice shots at times, I just wish those times were a little more frequent.

          I know he's old. and I do admire what he can do at his advanced age. for sure.

            Hopkins fought like a coward in that fight. If he had opened up and fought like a real man it would've been an even more one-sided shutout win for Calzaghe.

            Calzaghe clearly won the fight, he totally outworked and **** ****d that racist prick Hopkins.

                you mean like if bernard wasnt 43 years old?

                  A prime Hopkins would've stumped Zaghe for 12 rds.

                  A prime RJJ would've Montell Griffin'ed Calzaghe.

                  Embrace this truth and stop fighting it, Calzaghe is a sloppy, two left feet bufoon. If he fought in the states against better quality opposition, and not just B and C level american left overs, traveling across the pond for a payday, he would have a 40-5 record, unstead of a 45-0.

                  Alot better/skilled fighters didn't retire undefeated, and there is a reason for it.
