What's even funnier bro, is that Hopkins insulted a white guy, then his fans used that as an excuse to why he lost. In the words of George Bush "that makes you a ****in hypocrticizer too, man!".
No mather all the suspicious racial circumstances, Hopkins actually lost the fight. All you need to do in order to realise this is to score each round accordning to the scoring criteria. Save us from the conspicary theories. They have nothing with reality to do.
not trying to be hurtful...just informative. you're a big b-hop fan right? tell me this...how come he never called out winky wright for a rematch? b-hop won in a very **** fight...but A LOT of people thought that decision could have gone either way (a bit like b-hop/jc) & to my eyes it was a draw...so how come no-one wants to see that fight again but people like you are going crazy for a rematch of this shitty fight? :huh is it just cos the guy you're a fan of lost & you (& he) are just massively butthurt? :huh
:huh On the cards, that was a UD to Hopkins, including two scorecards of 117-111. Hopkins-Calzaghe was an SD. What sort of comparison is that?? Joe Calzaghe never rematched his other SD either, with Reid. A pattern emerging? :think
Bad argument. There have been UD's that were far more controversial than SD's. DLH-Sturm? Ottke-Reid? Valuev-Holy (MD).
Hopkins deserves no rematch as he used his known dirty tricks added by faking low blows, disrespecting the boxing fans. By the way, I had 114-113 for Calzaghe.
Wrong, if your going to quote something make sure you get it right.......... He said that he "would never lose to a white person", and "I would never let me a white boy beat me". He lost the fight because he got out worked and allowed Calzaghe to control the centre of the ring, In boxing there is a little thing called ring generalship it's one of the 4 main scoring criteria.
i actually like both fighters. in this situation i'm pretty sure you're the "fanboy"; especially based on what you've said. it's just that winky/b-hop was obviously a really really close fight. everyone who has seen it thought so. all of those scorecards were just ridiculous. jc/reid was a fight that one judge went mental with the scoring...i don't care if you think reid won but he didn't win 116-111...that is actually impossible if you watch the fight. calzaghe clearly swept 1-4 & then the fight became tight with a few rds that could go either way...with reid also getting deducted a point. i honestly can't see how anyone could think that was a tight fight yet alone a win for reid. but whatever. i'll take it from your responses that your sole knowledge of those fights is what you read on boxrec. seeya troll. :hi:
Of course he wants to fight Calzaghe, there is no money in the lhw and smw divisions since he retired! After being blatently ducked and avoided through most of his career for being high risk low reward, he's now getting shamelessly called out as he's the only fighter that could generate super fight money!
Hopkins won, if you're looking for effective landed punches, it was a clear win for Hop. If you're Harold Lederman and don't need eyes, instead only follow CompuBox punch thrown stats to score your fight, you give it to Calzaghe
Hopkins was the better fighter imo that night. That said, it was a very close, but easy fight to score and Hopkins lost.
