    So you have done nothing with your life and instead compensate by attempting to be controversial.

    SHot to hell Calzaghe toyed with Hopkins for 9 rounds. Listen this isn't a 3 round fight, Hopkins caught Joe who hadn't warmed up, Joes own fault for skipping a warm up, but when he was warmed up it wasn't even close.
    Joe would have had a TKO over Hop but for corrupt ref Cortez, the fact it was an SD is an absolute disgrace as Joe literally toyed with him, he fought 3 different styles, on the back foot, on the front foot then swarming, each one Hop had no answer for.

    Who cares about trainers anyway, they are human and have subjective views, OOoo you hung out with a blue collar guy, relax it's not the Queen ok?

    Here is an observation from an alpha lion, Humble men have a reason to be humble, others don't.

    Slappy Joe don't have an ATG bone in his body. His name should never be mentioned above 20. He can't ride B Hop's nut sack to a higher position. He is who the fuucck he is. Calslappy Joe.

    A joke of a thread.

    I can here John McEnroe's famous rant.

    Not even you could rate Joe as a top 5 ATG?


    It's beyond words.


    Mikkel Kessler is a very good fighter.

    Nothing more.


    Eubank?

    How many more times?

    Seriously!

    If ANY other fighter had 11 days notice, and had to drop a division, with bad knees, who hadn't made the weight in two years, who was also at the end of their career..

    You WOULDN'T rate the win.


    Joe's resume is POOR overall, and anyone who seriously rates him top 5, needs locking up for their own safety.

    Ok so tell me which Hopkins wins you rate above Eubank, undefeated Kessler and Hopkins himself?
    Dont try and say something like Trinidad when he was a former WW who had been put over 7 times that I know of and exposed previously

    Let's clear this up.

    Mosely didn't beat Margo.

    Margo was wheeled out in a complete state of emotional trauma, unable to focus because sister Nas made allegations and his career was pretty much ruined.

    Anyone who puts any credentials into Mosley beating that version of Margo who was essentially in a coma really shouldn't follow boxing as they have no idea how psychological it is too.
    Tyson used to whoop fighters based on fear, Margo was nothing that night, just a shell to stand and be punched. Mosley would never have beaten Margo but for Sister Nas ruining the fight and Margos career.

    Not to mention the rest of the things you added can be discounted too, as I said, you put things in context, Prime Mayweather beat a horrid old shot Mosley, old, bloated, crippled shot Calzaghe killed a prime Hopkins.

    What the hell is so good about the Eubank win?

    Enlighten us please.

    You seemed obsessed by it.


    Look at the facts.


    It was nothing special.

    Maybe for Joe personally, but not for the boxing world.


    Undefeated Kessler?

    It was a good win.

    It wasn't a great win, just because Kessler was undefeated.

    Who had he beaten?


    What do you mean 'don't say Tito'?


    It's better than anything Joe has.

    Hopkins was 36/37, and he put in a beautiful performance against a world class fighter who was at the top of his game.

    But we can't it rate it because he was once a WW.


    Fine, we won't rate the Hopkins win for Joe, because Hopkins used to be a MW.

    Joe scraped by him. Big deal. Other fighters beat him more impressively.

    We shouldn't forget that the Pascal Hopkins destroyed Froch went life and death with.


    Nor should it be forgotten that the prime Bika a near shot Joe beat easily drew with Ward in his backyard in Oakland.

    Calzaghe was busy fighting nobodies at home, he was too afraid to come out of his nest and take on the best. A prime Roy Jones easily demolishes Calzaghe.

    Beating a HOF is obviously special. Eubanks had seen better days but was still game and able to perform.

    Beating an ATG who now moves on to create history is a big deal. And Calzaghe did it :smoke

    So basically you have had a hissy fit and not given a straight answer :lol:.
    So just to confirm, you really believe that a MW champ who turned pro inside the CW limit beating a former WW champ, who had only had one fight at MW, had been put down 7 times that I know and nearly KOd more than once that I know of and previously exposed, is better than Calzaghe beating undefeated Kessler, Eubank or Hopkins sandwiched between arguably Hopkins best wins?
    Just a yes or no will do Loudon
    Im not saying P4P Tito isnt a real good fighter but look at his MW career

    At home? I think only around half of his world title fights were in the country he lived in
