    Yet dominant performances in each fight, the same Kessler who slapped Froch silly about 4 years later.

    BUT!! Slapping is ILLEGAL!!! IN THE OLD DAYS IT WAS CALLED LACING. Calzaghe didnt throw 20 legal scoring punches against B Hop. If he couldnt throw a legal punch he couldnt pass the medical

    It is although the Hopkins one is criminally underrated, what Hopkins went on to do after the Calzaghe fight proves this.

    Yeah ok... I watched that fight. Hopkins didnt do much to win. I thought Calzaghe took it. Hopkins looked...uncomfortable in there.

    Yes he did, he also didn’t feign injury to get rest.

    Hopkins got slapped about off the white boy.

    “Not at that time previous no.”

    Can you explain what you mean using a clear sentence Herol?
