Calzaghe > Hopkins

[Gorillaz]

I respect Calzaghe a lot. Very smart and tough fighter. Beat Hopkins at his own game.

[daggum]

Not really,he is known to HBO's commentators as such,but they have a vested interest in talking up their fighters. The reality is,and will always be that B-hop and Calzaghe are very close all ways around. One of the most crass and ****** myths put out there is that a younger Hopkins would have beaten Calzaghe. What a load of dog****! You could just as easily say that a younger Calzaghe would have beaten a younger Hopkins.

I never understand all this hoopla surrounding Hopkins. I think people just dig him because he went to prison,and managed to turn himself around. So f.ucking what? He cultivated a badass public persona on the back of that,again, So f.ucking what?

You can pick holes in 'nards resume all day long if you are so inclined,just as you can Calzaghe's.

Both are great fighters,and this isnt top trumps. That is for gayboys. Best just give both men their respect and leave it at that.

how is that a myth? most people think hopkins already beat him. hopkins totally outclassed him in terms of boxing. hit and not be hit. clean punching, defense. you know those small details. calzaghe only won cause he threw more but missed everything. obviously a prime hopkins who was not 44 would throw and land many more punches. obviously a prime hopkins would have more energy to move so calzaghe couldn't get off and miss all those punches that fooled the judges.

roy jones>bernard hopkins>calzaghe

Indeed my man!

Im not a Bernard Hopkins fan at all. i actually dislike him as a fighter. but common, TS need to see facts.

Roy Jones > Bernard Hokins >>> Joe Calzaghe

whats Calzaghes best win? Kessler? COMMON MAN

[DeadlyWeapon]

Wow Jone's resume is ****. Hopkins is great.

lol this must be a joke

calzaghe beat 2 shot versions of rjj and b-hop and kessler and thats it. oh yeah and a totally overhyped bum in jeff lacy and an old past prime eubank.

lets compare resumes

Calzaghes Resume:

Roy Jones Jr(shot and 40 years old)
Bernard Hopkins(split decision against a past prime 44 year old)
Mikkell Kessler(only good win on calslappys resume)
Jeff Lacy(overhyped bum)
Chris Eubank(past prime)

Bernard Hopkins resume:

Oscar De La Hoya(prime)
Felix Trinidad(prime)
Glen Johnson(prime)
Kelly Pavlik(prime)
William Joppy(prime)
Winky Wright(over his natural weight but still a very good win)
Antonio Tarver(prime)

Roy Jones Jr resume:

Bernard Hopkins(prime)
James Toney(prime)
Mike Mccallum(past prime)
Montell Griffin(prime)
John Ruiz(prime and at heavyweight)
Virgil Hill(prime)


Joe Calzaghe stayed in wales and defended his ****ty WBO belt for almost 10 years and then won the IBF belt from a bum in lacy and the WBC,WBA belts against Kessler and then went up to light heavy and beat two shot 40+ year old legends. and thats it.

Many people even think he lost to the 44 year old past prime Hopkins who knocked him down in the first round. lol. a prime hopkins would have whooped Calzaghe.

a shot 40 year old RJJ knocked down Calzaghe in the first round. a prime RJJ would have ended it right there.

H2H both prime verions of rjj and b-hop would have knocked the average joe the **** out. joe really dont have much skills, except good handspeed and the abilty to throw 100 slaps(that couldnt even knock out my dead grandma) per round.

lets face it Joe Calzaghe was a FRAUD and a JOKE. he beat 2 shot legends and a bunch of bums and only fought in america twice.

in a few years Joe Calzaghe will be forgotten outside of newbridge wales.

Roy Jones Jr and Bernard Hopkins will be remembered as legends and will never be forgotten... the average joe calslappy will be remembered as the guy who defended his ****ty WBO paper belt in his backyard for 10 years and then beat 2 shot legends that was both over 40 years old.
