    Calzaghe V Hopkins who was the first to use a real dirty tactic, and cheat?

    Calzaghe said: “When I hit him there in the second round, that was proper deliberate. He’d knocked me down in the first so I had to give him a dig, didn’t I?”

    JOE CALZAGHE

    I have never figured out why this statement by Joe is lost o all of his fans. It's as if they want to ignore it.

    I don't understand why you would admit to such a thing. Joe has the brain the size of a peanut.

    Tactical low blows and hard intentional rabbit punches are the most despicable things you can do in a ring, basically. Calzaghe disappointed many people on many levels in this fight.

    When Calzaghe does it it's worse. He's Joe Calzaghe.

    I'll be the first to admit Calzaghe used dirty/rough tactics. Not a tea party though is it? Hopkins does some dirty ****, and it's called "skill" and/or "brilliant ring craft". Calzaghe does it, and it's "dirty". It's all dirty, but that's boxing. Hopkins is a master at using his head, and hitting on the blind side of the ref. Calzaghe has always held and hit as well. Holyfield is another fighter who is good at using his head. It's not clean, but that's just the way it is.

    Hell, Calzaghe (in the 8th round in his fight against Jones) tried to open Jones' cut cut up even further at the end of the round by putting his head on the cut/grinding his head in there. Go look. Seen Hopkins do it dozens of times......and again, it's apart of boxing.

    None of that matters. What you are failing to see is that BHop had that ***** reeling. And he had to use a low blow to survive. Only a ****ing *** would equate a low blow with other types of rough-housing. That's why they call any of the worst type of cheating a "low blow"
