    Prime Calzaghe was at SMW and when he didn't have brittle fists and had to hold back on his power.

    Sneaky B-Hop dropped him with an elbow followed by a push, shouldn't have been called a knockdown.

    Joe CLEARLY won most of the rounds, he swept the last 8.

    Calzaghe would have beaten any version of Hopkins.

    You've been the most prominent Calzaghe hater on the internet for 14 years now. Time to give it a rest.

    Hopkins cheated, floundered and pouted like a mfer. Obviously an ATG, but he's frustrating as hell to watch imo.

    You always say this.

    1. Give me just ONE example of where I have HATED?

    2. You have just flat out LIED regarding the knockdown.

    If you’re going to make things up, then be prepared to be called out on it.

    Hopkins beats Calzaghe again but keeps a more consistent work rate and actually gets awarded the decision after schooling Calzaghe.

    Shot, bloated, end of career, brittle hands Calzaghe went up in weight and won a clear decision.
    Prime SMW Calzaghe could possibly end it inside schedule, but I have a feeling Hopkins would hold to survive in a similar manner to when he fought end of career Calzaghe

    Coming to the end of schooling posters on here with this subject
    It became boring over a decade ago
