No announcement yet.
So does this make Joe Calzaghe's win over Hopkins look even better?

Calzaghe had a "Fear of Flying" which is why he never went outside the UK,
Funny he overcame his "Fear" when RJJ and Hopkins were going to retire because they couldn't even get another fight.
BTW, many had Hopkins winning against Calzaghe anyway.
So it cant look "better", when it was not even good in the first place lol
By that logic, Kevin Mcbride > Tyson > Larry Holmes > Ali

He barely beat hopkins. people say hopkins was out of his prime but calzaghe wasnt in his prime either closer than to it than hopkins. The honest truth if you compare calzaghe super middle weight reign to hopkins reign i dont see much difference between them. bhops has got two great names in tito and oscar but those are welters that moved up. beside those two names bhops and calzaghe reign in their respective division are comparable but bhop should get the edge because he does have a win over glen johnson.

Nobody would pass an opportunity like that to face a challenger in his back yard.

Hopkisn was outlanded 2-to-1 accoridng to compubox
Take a second and think about that.
How can you win a fight, if you're outlanded 2-to-1?
The statistics in that fight were mind numbing
I thought it was the worst performance of Hopkins career and I thought he just could not deal with speed & output of Calz
Calz schooled him
I had that fight about 9 rounds to 3 in favour of Joe, mind you, there is an extra point to Bernard for a knockdown.
watch this whole series to see who was really schooled.

Maybe.........but it really has to do with Pascal being overrated, or just not being THAT good...
Dawson didn't fight the first 7-8 rounds against Pascal and as soon as he turned it up, Pascal did what he did tonight...retreat or hold and lower his punch output...
Never scored Calzaghe/Hop but I thought Joe won...such an ugly fight...BS lowblows and Calaghe's pitty pat

Also, Europe is less hated than Canada. Canada is basically like a crappier version of Europe.

Hopkins got robbed against that fraud. You shouldn't get credit for hitting a guy on his shoulders and arms. And that's what compubox credited Calzaghe with. I know busted up faces sometimes isn't what determines a fight, but Hopkins didn't have a mark on him. Took that dude to school and made him retire with Kessler being the only respectable win on his resume.
