joe calzaghe only beat a totally washed up eubanks and a 43year old bernard hopkins no comparision here at all if thats what your arguing
Does "did nothing" really deserve to be bolded, italicized, and underlined? Didn't he KNOCK CALZAGHE DOWN? :think
Two welterweights, a light middlewight fighting 14lb over his weight and 3 losses. Hmmm. The closest Taylor will come to legend is singing along to the Bob Marley cd.
So, let's take a look at how Hopkins performed against these 'legends' (legends by your standards, not mine): beat trinidad by stoppage* beat dlh by stoppage* lost to rjj beat winky wright* lost to jermain taylor x2 Bernard is 3-0 against 'legends' fighting above their weight class 3-1, if you add Calzaghe Bernard is 0-3 against 'legends' in his weight class
bernard hopkins will go down as the greatest middlewight of the last 20years and is a far far superior fighter to joe calzaghe, this was proven by bernard hopkins being 43years of age and giving joe all he could handle
You know. i've been watching this forum for 7 years now, and can honestly say that he is THE most disrespected fighter on this forum. furthermore, anyone who defends him is a calzaghe nuthugger. so, if you can't beat them. join them. (deep breath) I don't care if joe is an undefeated @ 45 fights 2 weight UNDISPUTED champ. Who cares. Who did he beat? Chris eubank in joe's 4th year as a pro. Eubank was weight drained. So, he went on to have 2 competitive matches w/ cruiserweight top 10 carl thompson. Eh, er. Well, who cares. he lost. So, he beat omar sheika in 5 rounds when he was undefeated, big deal. sheika lost years later to scott pemberton and a close fight to then undefeated jeff lacy. So what, he beat jeff lacy when NOBODY thought he would, big deal. Look at lacy since, he looks like ****, and it's not because joe beat him like a drum for 36 minutes either.:roll: Lacy was just overrated, by the ENTIRE boxing community. Our bad, so that win was BS. Next, kessler? Don't make me laugh. He only had 2 belts. And only about 60% thought the dane would win. That's not enough of an underdog for that win to be considered. Next, so what! He beat hopkins by SD. And a hometown decision that was. You know how those away fighters always get favortism. So, yeah. Er um. Calzaghe hasn't done **** in this sport. And, from now on I'm a calfaggy hater. Fukk calslappy, he's a disgrace to this sport. I'm self crowning the new supermiddleweight king............................................................................................ ALLAN "SWEETNESS" GREEN. Why. Look at his resume. He's headlined alot of ESPN friday night fights and he's black and from america. And that's all i need to crown him champ. Hell, he's done more than Joe. He lost :yep
The rest was dribble and way too long to read. I did manage to see this part though. NOW your starting to get it. :yep
