    i thought hopkins won a very close fight calzaghe was punching air most of the time and the effective blows were landed by b-hop and hopkins was 44 years old..had calzaghe dominated hopkins he would have got more credit, but still on paper thats a W for calzaghe so he gets some credit for beating a top fighter who wasnt in his prime but still good enough to give calzaghe a fight.

    for the roy jones fight though he deserves no credit at all period, everyone knew roy was done by 2003, roy still knocked him down lol..

    i give calzaghe more credit for beating lacy and kessler who were the top fighters in his divisionn but lacy has looked **** since then, and kessler got his butt whooped by a green ward in a more dominating fashion.

      calzaghe should been dsq,d both fights. 700 slaps thrown in both fights, 80 rabbit punches, and a few ali shuffles which made joe look like right jerk.still think grandpapa bhop whooped him and refused to give him a rematch. lol lol

              great thread.

              in conclusion:


              joe calzaghe doesnt get credit for beating late 30s early 40s roy & bernard but when floyd beats 39 year old shane mosley its a great accomplishment.


              double standard # i have lost count already.
