Calzaghe was a "slapper"?

    Eubank was not shot. He twice fought admirably for a Crusierweight championship and arguably won, after Calzaghe. Hopkins even now is a very credible victory for anyone.

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".
      like i always say every fighter has their haters. its easy to judge when you dont knwo what was going on behind the scenes. but every boxer has their haters. i have my share that i dont like for whatever reasons. do it means our opinions are facts hell no. so whatever. i like joe i like hop i like roy. i feel joe wasnt in his prime when he fought roy and hopkins. just like he didnt come to the states to fight them they didnt go over and fight him either. and just like after joe beat them they didnt fight much well he retired himself as well. they all have their fans and haters.

        Yeah but he was knocked down by the light hitting, aged Hopkins and had to squeak out a tight decision. He was also put on his ass by a shot Roy Jones, another guy that hadn't put anyone significant down in ages(don't cry about the forearm). So what's left of Calzaghe's career, a collection of Europe's finest?

          He was knocked down but came back to win both fights. I dont understand why so much emphasis is put on the kds. Roy was knocked down by a Lou Del Valle. Hopkins was floored twice by Segundo Mercado. What does it matter?

          Calzaghe won every single title at 168 and then won the lineal title at 175. His resume could've been better but i dont think much of that was his fault -he was just a victim of circumstance.

            calzaghe was able to go into a ring with professional fighters and b*tch slap them for 12 rounds.... and according to his record there wasnt much anyone could do about it

            sounds pretty bad a$$ to me

              the guy getting hit and almost knocked down. i can see why so many people like you scored that fight for calzaghe now. you have no idea how to judge a boxing match. coming forward and swinging wildly while hitting air is good enough for you. you think that's tough or something while the guy counter punching is scared. throw out who's actually landing the clean punches right because that doesn't matter.

                Throw out that it was probably the only clean punch Hopkins landed in the round and was on the bell after a blatant headbutt.

                  calzaghe ran into hopkins how was it hopkins fault again? oh yea ****** logic being used i forgot. calzaghe the moron ran full force right into hopkins head. all hopkins did was dip and throw a punch and calzaghe ran right into him. once again calzaghe fans have no clue what they are even looking at while watching boxing.

                  and the punch was actually about 2 seconds before the bell. more revisionist history to protect your man. not only has your eyesight failed you but your ears as well.

                      Hopkins dipped down and launched his head into Calzaghe's face.
