How good a win was Calzaghe over Hopkins?

[junior gong]

Yeah but at the end of the day Calslappy didn't land 1 significant punch the whole night. Not even 1

Get some glasses.

I don't care what anyone says. Calzaghe is a certified ATG

you wouldn't know the top 100 fighters of all time if they started to hit you.

[New England]

A rather good win,

but let's not act as if it was a prime, or close to prime, Hopkins. Nobody is prime at 43.

it wasn't a prime hopkins, but it was still a hopkins that would go on to get significant wins.



calzaghe's win over hopkins is solid, given bernard's track record after the fight.

[Barry Halls]

It's possibly his best win. A very good win.
Kessler also comes to mind. After that it's thin.

Hopkins usually shut down the opponents offensive. But Calzaghe remained very active and that's what gave him the win.

When Calzaghe inititally made his comments in his book about Roy Jones, I doubt he expected that a major network would be ****** enough to offer him the amount of money HBO offered him to fight Jones.

whats relevant is that he didn't chase Roy and others until he was shot2**** and there was nowhere else to go. JC was happy fighting crap fighters for a decade. Even Chris John doesn't do that.

Others chased him, Steve Collins chased him before his injury that led to early retirement, but Joe stayed well away from him and other top fighters.

I don't even think Joe thinks he won. He know's he got lucky.
