Why is Calzaghes win over Hopkins so underated?

[dan_cov]

Two very close fights that could of gone either way. I think I scored one a draw & B-Hop edging the other.

Besides no shame in losing to a prime Jermaine Taylor.

Also..

Styles make fights. Sometimes a superior fighter will be made to look bad against a guy considered below him.

Using Hopkins age as an excuse is weak. As for "prime" Taylor being some kind of great fighter, he really wasn't.

Jermain is likeable as hell, but he was a B level fighter in his prime at best. Hopkins MIGHT have one of those fights but really, who could even sit through that.

I went to the 2nd fight because I got free tickets and regretted it by the 3rd round.

If you want a classic Hopkins "masterpiece" watch the Howard Eastman fight. How this guy was ever allowed on tv is beyond me.

He couldn't even beat Jermain Taylor. He ain't beating Calzaghe whether his 45 or 25.

Wow you must be really butt hurt since you obviously love cal***gy and 98% of this thread thinks Hopkins won or Slap*** looked awful even if he barley won by slapping like a queen with mega endurance. All he really did was bounce and slap enough to avoid being knocked out.

Fact is ***zaghe is a pathetic excuse for a fighter. His resume is terrible. He's consistently showed a plump vagina where his balls should be. And when he boxes he literally looks like a ****sexual trying to fight his way out of a spider web. That is his legacy.

Exactly When you consistently fight great opponents you're going to lose it happens. Hopkins Came back and destroyed the guy who Knocked Taylor dead. Thats a real Champion. How do you do against ALL the best fighters. Not just 1 or 2 carefully picked ones.

Come on man. Post with your real account. Hopkins is a mediocre spoiler at best who compensated for his lack of speed and heart in the ring by fighting dirty and hoping that the judges were so bored and tired at the end of the fight that he could have a chance at a draw.

But you love to see this guy? Talk about a joke

I cant even dignify that with a response. Enjoy your hero's brutal KO's in my previous post. I have to warn you It's a graphic highlight reel.

Hahaha the funny thing is the aggression on his face as he pastes referee Terry O' Connor with his most powerful uppercut and Terry didn't even flinch or appear to feel it what so ever.

because he got beat.
