      It was a harmless observation.
      I disagree.


      Though has IronOne's stance now ****ed up your "harmless" observation? (And come on, mentioning me in the same breath as Juy "Eubank's **** in my mouth" Juy - what did I do to deserve that???)

        I'm not even a big Hopkins hater, I just hate to see someone hyping up a good but not exceptional fighter.

          All you have to do is mention Hopkins and the Limeys circle like sharks. J/K mates.
          You dirty *****!

          Just say "Joe Calzaghe" and all the Yankee Doodle Dandies pull up their extra-large pants and pull out their handguns...

            You seem to be offended, and that wasn't the intention.

            I just noted that the only people I've seen on this site so bent on discrediting Hopkins for some strange reason, are you to and JuyJuy.

            Not saying you're anything like that guy, granted I think he might be an ex-Eubank PR guy that was fired for being obsessed.

            Nowehre did I say or mean to imply all Brits think this way.

            I just stated that the only ones I've seen this dead set on hating on Hopkins are from the UK.

            I apologise if any offense was taken.

              LOL.

              Talk about irony and hypocricy.
              Look, I think you missed the point of my post... The reason I was comparing Calzaghe's career to Hopkins is to try and make you see where meaningless defences of a single belt will get you,I was using Calzaghe's career as an example.

              Cheers for the discussion anyway... I can't bothered to continue, this discussion is just going round and round and not really going anywhere.

              You have your views... You think Hopkins is something special.

              I have my views... I don't think he's anything special.

              Till next time...

                In circles we go:

                A good but not exceptional fighter doesn't dominate the middleweight division for 10 years never losing more than 4 rounds in a fight, breaking the all time record for middleweight defesnes.

                A good fighter but not exceptional is a Joe Calzaghe, who managed to go undefeated, but for whatever reason, did not fight a series of credible challenges in the division he was in.

                  haha.

                  "Extra large pants and handguns". That's classic.

                    Oh, we're cool man, it just seemed like a ****ty thing to throw in the middle of a debate, that's all. Like if me and you met for a drink talking about boxing in a bar and you said some ****, and I went "yeah, but you're a Yank." It's like "wtf? What did he have to bring that **** up for?"

                    Like I said, we are separated from the media to a large extent with Hopkins though. Don't get to see all the promos, only get to read the hype in The Ring.


                    Anyway, I'm not playing any more. You said you had no interest in what I had to say so I'm taking my ball back.
