    LOL!!

    Comparing Joe "Slappy White" to George Foreman and Bernard Hopkins to Ali is just, super stupid.

    Slappy White has an unorthodox style. He fights like a Project Ho named Shanada Jenkins.
    BHOP needed a fight to figure out how to fight a sheep fukked that fights like a hood ho. :yep

    Slappy White..:D :D Calzage did kind of slap those punches though, I don't understand why he is compared to Floyd, Joe hasn't faced nearly as many champions and titlists.

    No Cal-Vinci is Ali, because he won. No Foreman because foreman retired..

    Maybe you're right, it is dumb. Clearly people solved the Ali and Foreman style... But no one solved the Cal-Vinci code. Deal with it.:deal

    He kept it pretty damn close, given his age. Same reason he couldn't beat Taylor, against both opponents it was clear that he was the "better boxer", but just got out-worked in all 3 fights.

    It's hard to tell what would've happened in Hopkins's prime. He'd be gaining endurance and activity, but sacrificing some experience and knowledge for it. It think he would've beaten both in his prime though.

    Slappy White will always be known as the Englishman who fought like an US Project Ho named Shaneqia. :lol:

    There is no Cal-Vinci code. It's plain and obvious. The man throws (slaps) over 1000 punches a fight, has incredible stamina, odd angles, and a great chin. There is no blue print because those attributes Calzaghe brings to the table is hard to over come.
    Hopkins did do something that no other fighter was able to do. And it was to slow Calzaghe's work rate down ALOT more than we are used to seeing.
    Calzaghe throwning Only (yes it sound crazy to put only here) 700 plus punches, roughly 300 less than usual.
    Even a Master can not over come attributes like Calzaghe's.

    So work rate is my choice even tho it was significantly lower than usual.
