Oh and he's got balls to call Hopkins a cheat for taking 3 minutes for a low blow in the same article where he admits to throwing an intentional low blow.

**** Calzaghe you lost to a 43 year old man.

A bit bitter are we? Face facts. Hopkins talked smack. He wasn't tough. He faked a low blow to gain time. Someone lost some 'street credit.

Clazaghe might have been a bit dirty last night, but he needs to land about 20 more blows below the belt line to catch up to Hopkins.

Ahhh gotta love Calzaghe.

He owned your boy Lacy in 2006, now he beats the 'wily, crafty' veteran at his own game.

Calzaghe>Every fighter from 160 to 175.

Kelly Pavlik KO 6 Calzaghe.

Calzaghe: Low blow deliberate!
[SIZE=+1]Joe says Hopkins is a cheat[/SIZE][SIZE=+1]
WBC/WBA/WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe admitted to the London Daily Mail that he intentionally hit Bernard Hopkins low in the second round of their fight Saturday, but says Hopkins was faking it in the tenth when he went to the canvas from an apparent light shot below the belt from the Welshman. "What a crap actor," said Calzaghe. "He looked like he'd been shot in the balls, not hit. When I hit him there in the second round, that was proper deliberate. He'd knocked me down in the first so I had to give him a dig, didn't I? But the tenth — that was a lie, that one.....he's a cheat. He took three minutes off when I didn't touch him and he needed a rest. Joe Cortez should have been firmer. Hopkins is just a spoilt little girl, isn't he?" Calzaghe also told the Mail, "I felt all along [Hopkins] was all mouth. He was a bully and they don't like being bullied. I could tell at the weigh-in he was worried. I said to him, 'This is your last fight, this is the end for you now' and he didn't say anything at all."[/SIZE]

___________________________________

So basiclly whenever a fight isn't going Calzaghe's way he'll low blow you.

Calzaghe proves that he is a classless ***** and I hope that Hopkins slaps the **** out of him if they ever meet again.

And basically whether a fight is going Hopkins way or not, he'll foul you with lowblows, punches on the hip on the ref's blindside, headbutts, rabbit punches (again on the ref's blindside) and clinch you every time you start opening up on him.

Whoops, there's one more - when the decision doens't go Hopkins' way he moans like a *****.

Wow, he actually said that? He actually said he low blowed someone because they scored a legit knock down on him? Seriously? I never had any ill feelings towards Calzaghe before, but that's total bull****. That's what the sport is about, what would he do if someone knocked him out, run over their dog?

That is a good point, but we see that sort of thing happen all the time it's pretty much part of the sport...when fighters get knocked down or are in trouble, they foul to get the guy off of him.

I don't like it myself, but it's how it goes.

Yeah, I don't think Cotto would admit it, but he didn't like Judah hitting him or hurting him, so he just landed a couple of clean low blows!

Ohhhh the irony.

Remember all the yanks saying that after this fight Calzaghe fans would be screaming foul about Hopkins because he would be so rough and dirty on the inside?

How they warned us not to use this as an excuse?

Ohhhh the irony

Dont you fools get it yet? The Brits hype every fighter they have because THEY DONT HAVE ****! Calzaghe is being touted as their greatest fighter(he isnt but he's white so Lennox 3 time world heavyweight champion gets forgotten) and isnt that sad? Lol. Joe Calzaghe who had his toughest fight against a 43 year old Bernard Hopkins.

Seriously you guys need to start calling the Brits on this forum on their bull****. 2 heavweight champions in 100 years. Pitiful.:rofl
Click to expand...

I don't know about that Lennox thing..But you are absolutely right on the other points.
Most of the GB'ers on this site have lost their objectivity when it comes to JC's status as an ATG.
A little bit of nationalism is cool.
But an ATG with one win over a Hall of Famer who was 43 at the time of the fight?
Let's be real here.
