It upsets some, but that is natural.
But yeah, "legends" like Roy who were destroyed four years prior to Slap boy ever getting to them. Yup. But he certainly beat them in their prime.
Why don't you show us your Mayweather Hatton "scorecard" again so we can all have a good laugh at what an idiot you are.

The reason why I find it hard to believe is because there are a lot of posters here who say Calzaghe ducked nobody. How can anyone say Calzaghe ducked nobody when they know he used the "im scared of flying excuse".
you got any links?Originally posted by Sir TomJones View Postno but if they say it enough times they start to believe it
that and his fear of flying, which is one of the reasons for his reluctance to test himself in the US.

"He wouldn't get on a plane. He said he had a fear of flying. Yet I can remember after one fight he flew to the West Indies for a holiday!
i'm sure there are many more but look how easy it is to find a couple articles in a couple minutes of searching.

Speak for yourself bro, your red bars show that not too many people care for your 'expert' opinion. My scorecard took into account the bias shown by Cortez, the same ref who tried to hand the B-Hop/Calz fight to the home fighter (no surprise there).
hopkins may have been the home fighter but calzaghe was the A fighter in that fight. the judges, ref, crowd, and hbo all favored him because they were priming him for bigger things to come(roy jones ppv was basically agreed upon already). hopkins was old news and they wanted to get rid of him. why would the establishment want a 43 year old boxer to win? can't make much money off of him so they gave calzaghe the fight. some of the judges gave calzaghe rounds 2 and 3 when he got dominated and didn't even land anything clean. hopkins never had a chance to win that fight.Last edited by daggum; 04-01-2011, 01:16 PM.
