BHOP has a history on KO'ing guys smaller then him.

Thats all nice and dandy idiot, but he has been clinching excessively and headbutting since he started his career. That fight where he is clinching and throwing that rabbit punch was when he was younger. And HBO has already stated in Calzaghes bio on their website that BHOP avoided Calzaghe for years by outpricing himself. And people say bhop was exciting? When??? When he was KO'ing bums early on in his career? He is a dirty cheating fighter and you think thats great for the sport!
do you really want to go into ducking when talking about calzaghe? he flat out refused to fight glen johnson twice out of fear. he also refused to fight sven ottke. i don't think that was a serious offer to fight hopkins because it was on showtime and hopkins was an hbo fighter. not many people leave hbo to go to showtime and make less money unless they are forced to when they lose or get old.Last edited by daggum; 09-30-2010, 05:37 AM.Comment

when you target a 43 year old man who has to hold cause he's so old and faded it's not gonna make for a good fight. he could have fought pavlik or dawson but instead he got retired by the oldest man in boxing.
that must have been such a deflating feeling for him after the fight ended and he realized he was not the great fighter he thought he was. his whole career he had wanted to prove himself on the big stage against a top fighter and even this version of hopkins beat him soundly. he knew he lost that fight and he lost the hunger to fight anymore with it.
As for Hopkins beating him 'soundly'? The approach Hopkins took to this fight is not the approach of a soundly winning boxer.Comment

countering calzaghe over and over and dominating the first 8 rounds isn't good enough. the last 4 rounds count for double that's how calzaghe won. i forgot about that loophole.
when you see 2 of the judges score round 2 to calzaghe when he didn't land a single clean punch you know there was no way hopkins ever would have won that fight no matter what he did. the fix was in.Comment

It shows what type of fan you are...inherently biased. Thats been evident since you joined the forum with the sole purpose of trashing Calzaghe and whinging about this fight.Comment

Makes me laugh that Hopkins' whole fan base and people who thought he won makes an appearance in this thread while the Calzaghe fans don't give a crap and are content with the W on his record.
Calzaghe won, Hopkins lost 2 years ago. Move on you emotional B-Hop fans.Comment

BHOP fans love fighters who clinch and headbutt to win matches, that represents philly perfectly doesn't it? A dirty fighter who cheats his way to ATG history by beating up midgets by clinching and headbutting to win. Oh wait, I don't remember Joe Frazier fighting like that.Comment

and i don't think just because a fighter can't punch his way out of a wet paper bag like those guys that they aren't good fighters. calderon's a great boxer and calzaghe is great at throwing punches that may or may not hit his opponent. the thing is it doesn't matter he wins either way!Comment
