right, so you calzaghe fans have changed, before the fight it was "I will only be happy if calzaghe knocks out hopkins" but now its calzaghe beating an aging hopkins is better than any of hopkins victories. so your saying that calzaghe getting a gift decision over hopkins was a bigger achievement than hopkins destroying trinidad. :rofl This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected i'm sure everyone has seen the GIF image of calzaghe's slapping combinations landing in mid air.
For you Brits, Ask yourself this question and think about it. Essentially no one on earth discredits Lennox Lewis for his achievements. Still, quite a few discredit calzaghe. Why do you think that is? When or if you ever understand that answer you will understand why Calzaghe is not considered such an ATG.
Lennox lost two fights for not taking peopel seriously.... Calzaghe just beats everyone, people cant stand an unbeatable fighter especially not from teh UK, look how many people on here hate Mayweather, and we had to endure the rubbish about Cotto etc, that soon stopped too.
I think no one expected Joe to knock him out, A: because of his hands B: because Hopkins has a chin of granite.... Also, Calzaghes 9 round win over Hopkins after stepping up, fighting with a pro Hopkins ref, in the USA for teh first time, is a better win than Hopkins over Trinnidad, after all, Joe beat the man who humiliated Felix.

Maybe you weren`t on the NG`s and boxing boards back then but Lewis got trashed by the American boxing fans and writers for YEARS. A truely terrble example of alledged American neutrality!!
