How come Pac gets more credit for ODLH than Joe gets for BHop?

    ODLH was long long gone at the time he fought Pac.

    Everyone said father time caught up with B-Hop after the loss, but then he proved it hadn't by dominating Pavlik.

    Yet without doubt, ODLH is viewed as a bigger win for Pacquaio.

    Do people just not like white fighters here?

    Apparently I'm a Klitschko nut hugger, a Jones Jr nut hugger, a Floyd Mayweather Jr nut hugger, a Bernard Hopkins nut hugger and a Pacquaio nut hugger depending on who you talk to.

    Maybe I just ****ing view boxing as it should be and am generally excited when great talents pass through the sport, rather than rip them to **** like you do?

    because pac toyed with de la hoya and made him quit on his stool. joe won a close split decision and was dropped in round 1. you still can't see the difference?

    Don't mention skin color because that's inciting racial response. :D

    My answer is . . . DLH is a six divisional Champ and the PPV king so even if DLH was already past his prime it will still get a lot of admiration and credit.

    Split decision was a joke, 85% of the American press had it going to Joe Calzaghe and the best score Hopkins could have hoped for was 115-114. I personally had it 116-113.

    The knock out is a good point, although it's not the first time DLH has hit the canvas. DLH also retired after that fight, had been on a losing streak in any meaningful fight prior to that.

    Hopkins had beaten Tarver and Winky decisively and then annihilated Pavlik immediately following.

    not only that, joe was a 3-1 favorite against b-hop.

    manny was a 2-1 underdog in which many though was a joke fight.

    Considering the only time you mother ****ers get down about a dominant champion is when he happens to be white or Floyd, I'll point that out all day, *****.

    Joe Calzaghe never got much credit because he never had a strong resume, the fight with BHop was very close too unlike what Pacquiao did to DLH going in as a HUGE underdog. Calzaghe was the favorite going in against Hopkins and the fight turned out to be very close.

    By the way, Pacquiao is white.

    3-1 favorite? LOL. I bet on that fight you ****ing dink, I got .8 odds.

    Manny was an underdog, solely because people believed that ODLH had something left to give. Betting is based on where the money goes, remember, Lacy was the 3-1 favorite vs Calzaghe (thanks Joe, that was a house deposit you won me)

    You need a biology lesson about speciation if you think Pacquaio is white.

    Calzaghe's resume is as good as it could be with two dominant champions at the weightclass above and weightclass below who refused to fight him.

    I take the point about betting though, that's a good indication.
