Originally posted by drez24Far from his best!? he was 28 years old in the prime of his career, coming off huge wins off of other superstars in the division, and regarded as one of the best in boxing at the time. I know you brits dont like anything hop does, but you have to give him a LITTLE credit (I know you said he was a good fighter to watch, which is more than what most from the UK would say). Or did you mean he was far from his best that night?
Again, why is Joppy a legitimate opponent on the resume of Taylor, but Hopkins beat a shot fighter.
Hopkins made the Taylor fight not the other way around, he seems to get little credit for trying to fight the best, rather he gets called out for fighting nobodies, who were mandatories by the way. I never knock Joe for taking mandatories, though I'm aware others do.
Joppy wasnt a good win for Tito, Hopkins or Taylor. Joppy just isnt very good.
I'm frustrated with Calzaghes recent opponents too, i cant undertand why some people would knock them. I was a Hopkins fan but he kept calling out fighters who where bigger than him, then backing out of the fights, he just wouldnt man up and the only reason he fought Taylor was because he was very green. Hopkins learnt a good lesson from the Jones loss = never fight someone who can give you problems. Hopkins is just flat out boring now.Comment

Originally posted by BadMagickI agree. That's ******, to me, it sounds like Lacy's camp is running scared, or something.
I dont think Lacy is running, i just think he needs to relax and let the fight happen in time, its not going to take long before Calzaghe's hand is better.Comment

At the end of the day, it's not Joe's fault that Hopkins and Jones Jr were too scared to fight him.
Both Hopkins and Jones Jr claimed that they were willing to travel to the Millenium Stadium to fight for Joe's super-middleweight title in super-fights, but deep down both knew that they had no intention of taking the fight unless they were offered ridiculous money to make up for the fact that they probably were going to lose.
It's similar to when Toney ****ing Rejected a 60/40 purse share IN HIS FAVOR to fight the winner of Benn-Eubank II, ****ing pisses me off.Last edited by JUYJUY; 09-11-2005, 02:00 PM.Comment

Originally posted by BadMagickI'm a fan, but I'm a realist. It sounds like they're pussing out. It's a legit injury. I'd say the same thing if Mayweather broke one of his brittle hands, and then he was accused of ducking because of it.
I think Lacy will still fight Calzaghe, his camp are just a little pissed at the moment, they will realise its only a few months away and if anything its in their favour not Calzaghe's, he's not getting any younger.Comment
