Hopkins - Smoke And Mirrors!!

to be fair that tactic hasn't always worked for him though has it?

 

Minimally better than Calzaghe.

 

More often then not. And if he did lose, his opponents looked horrible in the process.

 

sure he lost, but more often than not he'll turn up with a good game plan rather (may not always work though, see calzaghe fight) than just turn up in the ring and see what happens, which is what i'm getting at.

 

true, beating the hop will never be easy and if he does loose his last fight i can almost guarantee it will be controversial and people will argue about it for days and days and days and..............

 

well if you can't win.... what else is a fella to do?

 

This has to be a joke. Cleared out the middleweight division became undisputed champion stayed around and took on all comers, loses to a fresher fighter in 2 close fights, moves up to light heavy makes a clown out of Tarver, takes on Joe C in a tight fight, takes apart kelly pavlik and now plans on a fight with adamek.....

Out of all the fighters to say is overrated you pick B-Hop

 

Not about his fighting, but when he talks - and boy does that muthafcuker talk - it's all smoke and mirrors.

I can never understand what the **** he's trying to pontificate...it's like Eubank talking and using big words and using long sentences that are upon reflection is total bollocks.

And when Hopkins said the whiteboy thing, he meant it. And it was only afterwards that with the controversy that he reflected, 'yeah, I meant it to stir up controversy; how clever am i?' when he had no such plan when he first said it. He was just being a racist *****. You can take the guy out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the guy - that's you, Hopkins. And no manner of pointless sentences that run on forever that make no sense at all will change that.

 

And? I said it worked the majority of the time moron.

Hopkins resume is still vastly superior to Calzaghes and his legacy is and will be far far better remembered then what Calslap was remembered for.

 

Calslap fans.

 

Its an achievement to make a supposed elite fighter like Calzaghe 5 years your junior, look amatuerish and embarrass him in his first American debut.

In reality, this was Calzaghe's first live opponent. Fighting bums in Wales for his whole career, and in his first fight in America, gets put on his ass.

So yeah you can say Hop brought Calzaghe down a level or two. :rofl
