Why is Calzaghes win over Hopkins so underated?

[Barry Halls]

No idea what to say about the soccer / athlete discussion other than it's silly.

"Soccer" is the most popular sport in the world and in most areas of the world it's the one thing most boys want to become the greatest at. That brings the most athletes and talent and makes it the most competitive sport on earth.

Athleticism is not only about power, speed and explosiveness. It's also about endurance, dexterity, hand eye coordination etc etc.
If you say one sport is more demanding of a great athlete it's because you pick and choose what's important in my opinion.

Sven Ottke was the biggest cherry picker

The name Hopkins is impressive on a resume. But the way he won was forgettable.

it have a lot to do with this man


Come on.. lol.. America sucks at soccer

even though it's the world's most popular sport, America is against it and it's a fringe sport in the US.


American use to care about the HW

America now suck at the HW

Hence it's now a fringe division ...

Who won the group with England in it at the last World Cup? Oh yeah, the US. Shut up dude, just because no one gives crappy David Haye respect doesn't mean Americans have no respect for European fighters. We love Ricky Hatton, at least mos of us do, and we recognize Lewis as ATG at heavyweight.

Yup. I love the mouthbreathing UK and euro trolls trying to talk about nationalism and race when it comes to Calzaghe.

yeah okay, that's why Ricky Hatton gets the respect Calzaghe doesnt, and everyone over here respects Lewis even if they arent fans of either.

Bernard Hopkins got robbed thats why.
