He should be in anyone's top 10 for his generation, ducked no one & his longevity is all down to his discipline & that fact he's never been beaten up, love him or hate him, it don't matter, he's a master craftsman & dominating Tarver & then schooling Pavlik when already well into his 40's make him one of the great champions of our time & not bad for an "old man", he deserves more respect than he gets here.
Hopkins is not shot but at same he's not in his peak which was in 2001 just so you know I had Hopkins winning the Calzaghe fight by 115 to 113 it was a close and messy fight but I still think Hopkins was much more a effective in that fight and made Joe fight his fight and netrulized Joe's biggest biggest advantage of throwing lots of punches, by constantly moving and not a allowing Calzaghe to get set.
LMAOOOO wow, um, explain why Joes stats were more impressive? why he landed nearly double what Hopkins did and bossed teh tempo of the fight and controlled it from round 4 onwards? Seriously, peopel that have just watched Rocky shouldn't score boxing matches until they know something about boxingatsch
Um its called motivation, when you're fighting on a opponents home turf, and teh ref is against you, you expect teh refs to be too, we all know how many home gifts have been handed out over there, check Lewis Holyfield. Calzaghe had one mark on his nose, from the flash KD in round one. Calzageh wasn;t the one crying, rolling around on the floor buying time, out on his feet, headbutting, being raped, and losing on his home soil, Calzaghe literally boxed his socks off from round 4 onwards. These are facts, Calzaghe threw more, landed more, was the aggressor, and reduced one of America's greatest ever, to a sideshow freak as he tried to cheat.:deal
As stated, Hopkins nullified his losses to Taylor, by smashing to pieces the man who smashed up Taylor twice, proving he'd not only beat Taylor because he got better, but he destroyed Taylors better. Using Journeyman Johnson as a big win is hardly anything to talk about, how many losses does he have? even Clinton Woods beat himatsch
I obviously know alot more than you, fights aren't scored by punch stats they scored on clean effective punching which Calzaghe did not do, his punches were cuffing shots and they were ineffective, and it was Hopkins that controlled the fight.
Power punches was nearly double, jabs were nearly treble, there are many pics of Hopkins being battered as shown below. This content is protected If Hopkins controlled tehpace of the fight, why was he out on his feet in round 10 and reduced to a freakshow circus act feighing injury? Get some perspective pleaseatsch bloody noobs.
pictures don't mean **** I could get loads of pictures of Calzaghe being punched in the face and on the floor, your one of the biggest fools ever,:-(
Yet I am the one who can score a fight, answer all your arguments, nullify them and spell ''you're'' correctly. Pwned. Next
Do you realize that a softly landed hook or even a partially blocked non-jab is considered a landed power shot? Learn something about the sport before you post on it. Stats only tell half the story... Hopkins clearly landed the cleaner, harder shots throughout. If you didnt realize that by watching with your own eyes, you may have to start walking around in sunglasses holding a trained dog. AND I THOUGHT CALZAGHE WON!!! (and you mentioned about me being a free thinker? I think Ive shat things that have more of an open mind than you do) Furthermore... You keep calling everyone noobs and all, so I want you to be honest with the world for a second. Your 12 years old and that video of the douchebag humping the floor was your gay older brother's "Real World Great Britain" tryout! Because I have honestly never heard anyone outside of the sixth grade use that word... Admit it...we all will respect you more when you do. :good
Who's this nobody? Listen sissy, you seen the pics of Hopkins jaw going 90mph in the opposite directionatsch if Jabs are counted as power shots, why do they have seperate stats for jabs and power shotsatsch I really dislike the working class, so stop bothering me with you drivel, you have zero pics and zero videos, I'd wager you also have zero abs, meaning you're an arm chair fan. Calzaghe blasted Hopkins, this is a fact, look at the record books ffs. Hating on guys with muscles and good looks gets you nowhere, try and achieve them yourself instead of whining, Another one that can't spell ''you're'' too...sigh. The end Next
