    Pulled out of fights with dangerous opponents with prissy injuries. Glen Johnson is the main guy I can think of. And there are a couple other guys of where the fights didn't come off and I knew he pulled out of the Lacy fight even though he eventually fought him.

    Got a gift decision against Robin Reid along with Hopkins beating him. A true legend.

      Where did I say that exactly and even if I did you should be smart enough to know whats meant by it, chronological age in boxing is not very relevant at all but okay.....keep playing dumb.

        He did slap but he could also mix in solid shots He had a unique style. For the amount of stick he gets, no one truly figured out that style. Hopkins and Roy both were confused by that *****.

              Daggum posts that gif on average once every two posts without realising that while Calzaghe looks like an amatuer slapper, Hopkins looks like the dirty sneaky **** he is by utilising his infamous headbutt-righthand combo.

                  Calzaghe is a fraud because these are his best three wins:

                  Roy Jones: 2 months shy of 40th birthday
                  Bernard Hopkins: 43 years old
                  Chris Eubank: Shot at 31 years old, would only fight twice more unsuccessfully

                    You have to be somebodys alt.

                    Magically appearing only when Calzaghe threads are erected.

                      Exactly. People focus on how bad Joe looked in that fight because he was supposed to be the one being showcased on his American debut. But Hopkins spent half the time running, holding, fouling, crying and faking injuries whilst landing 4 punches a round. They both looked terrible that night hence why there was no immediate rematch. Hopkins seems to get a pass cos hes "old".
