Every Bernard Hopkins win adds to the legacy of Joe Calzaghe

[yoz]

Joe Calzaghe is one of the most underrated boxers of the past 25 years.

He's a bona fide ATG.

I agree, Freedom.

Joe used to be tested, too.

I still to this day believe Hopkins beat Calzaghe.....thought he got a gift decision in his home country, cause Hopkins outboxed him.....

Still no daggum in this thread? WTF!

so every wladimir win adds to the legacy of brewster..

Calzaghe's legacy should be ducking Glen Johnson of all fighters.

No doubt this fight reflects on Calzaghe, but wins and losses should be looked upon what they meant at the time. That's like discrediting Floyd's and Cotto's wins over Demarcus Corley, because at the time Corley was a force of sort and now well not so much.

Should Calzaghe's win over Lacy be considered b.s given the fact Lacy turned out to be a hype job? At that time he was second coming of Tyson and beating him meant a lot.

Just like that Froch should get the credit of beating an undefeated solid fighter for his first title vs Pascal. What Pascal achieved after it doesn't mean a thing for Froch, because at the time he was a contender like Froch.

bhop beat calzaghe anyway.. even joe's father enzo was saying you need to knock him out just before 12th round started.. it was a close fight

bhops "never lose to a white boy" comments swayed the white judges against him so they robbed him.. kind of backfired in that respect but bhop won the fight anyway.. calzaghe was a very good fighter though he just didnt beat bhop..

that was a SD and the only judge who got it right was Byrd (who wasn't emotionally effected by the white boy comments due to her different ethnicity).. the other judges were both white.

here are the culprits:

Ted Gizma - emotionally affected by "white boy" comments


Chuck Giampa - emotionally affected by "white boy" comments

What a load of bull. It was close, sure, but no robbery.

B-Hop was an idiot for making such a remark. That said, just look at the guy...

The desperate approval seeking nature of this headline/thread is pathetic and sheds no lustre upon the object of your infatuation.

Just let him retire in peace...
