What does it say about Calzaghe that fans give him credit for Hopkins's achievements?

Uhm yea, I guess in this case it doesn't matter. He's a bum. Jones was the man and his reign followed toward the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight. It was for the title of who the real man was in the division. You know it, I know it.Comment

A blind person calling me delusional doesn't really mean anything lol
If all you had to do to win a fight was go forward flailing your arms and get countered the entire time while landing nothing of your own and get destroyed on the inside by a vastly superior technical fighter, then Calzaghe is the GOAT.Last edited by DARKSEID; 04-23-2014, 10:55 AM.Comment

Dariusz Michaelcweski was the LHW champion. Jones didn't beat him so he didn't become the man.Comment

Show you what? The Scoring Criteria of Boxing? Do you not know it?
There's Monte Cox's write up on it and the External Link from Boxrec's scoring page.
Effective Aggression
Clean punches
Ring Generalship
Defense
4 scoring criteria.
Not simply aggression. That would be pretty ****** if simply moving forwards would be a scoring criteria.
So if you have two guys in the ring. Boxer A moves forward and misses everything while the fighter B does nothing but going backwards. Then I suppose you'd score the round a draw? I wouldn't.Comment

If there's a round where a total of 0 punches are landed then that's a pretty clear even round. As clear of an example of an even round you could possibly get. So yes and I'd imagine most judges would aswell.Comment

That's his write up on it. That's the official criteria what's he's talking about. Go and look up what the official scoring criteria for Boxing is. It's not "aggression".
