Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Calzaghe Stays Retired Because I'm Still Here

[Scary]

What he said in that interview was a bunch of things and you can clearly hear that he is bitter about this loss particular. I remember watching this fight 3 times, thinking Calzaghe won the fight because of the later rounds, both not fighting a good fight. It was a clash between two of the most slick fighters of this era.

You gotta love Hopkins though, he speaks in an interview for like 40 minutes straight and is entertaining all the way through, saying some things that I find valuable. In Hopkins we have something exceptionally unique.

Legend.

Watch the fight !!! Joe beat up Hopkins so bad I hate people even talking about a close fight.

It's not the same thing because Klitschko was ahead on all cards and was willing to continue. Vitali took the fight on two weeks notice, replacing an injured fighter (think it was Johnson), so considering how well he did, and the controversial ending, one would naturally expect a rematch. The only controversy in the Calzaghe-Bhop fight was that it wasn't a unanimous decision for Calzaghe (how the **** does Adalaide Byrd still get work?). Hopkins had his chance but chose to hold, headbutt and fake injury instead of fight like a man and now he has to live with that. Maybe if he had thrown down instead of making a fool of himself he could've won and that's probably what's eating him up inside. All that aside, I'm surprised he says this now because they looked pretty chummy at the Khan fight.

Wrong.

Vitali Klitschko:

"I prepared for this fight for a LONG TIME."

Lewis smashed Vitali's face in and Calzaghe schooled Hopkins. After these fights, they both retired and have no reason to come back and fight rematches.

It's the same thing.

Wrong.

sorted under the category;

"I've trained all my life to become a champion".

After that clear ass whup Hopkins gave him, Calzaghe does not want anything to do with this this man.

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

THE TRUTH

Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102


Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

After the fight, Vitali intimidated the shit out of Lewis and made him look like a bitch.

All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 30 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his bitch ass into retirement.



George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

[Sadistic]

Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement.

[Sadistic]

Hopkins is Calzaghe's bitch.

I scored it 116-111 for Calzaghe.
