    People seem to forget Calzaghe blatantly DUCKED Kelly Pavlik when he was looking muderous and chose to retire instead right after he UD's grandad Jones.

    Calzaghe won that fight clearly in my opinion, Hopkins was a clear ***** when he was begging for low blow rests and all that. Calzaghe beat him fairly the first time, didnt need to rematch him.

    Despite the fight being close, I don't think too many people were clamouring for a re-match - it was almost unwatchable.

    Joe is a boring ass white boy who ran away as fast as his cracked out legs could carry him while thanking the God Of Whales that he got the gift decision for his slappiest of performances.
    No way that pasty dudette wanted any more of the ATG Hopkins.

    Because a beyond past it, perfectly timed(by Calzaghe and co.) RJJ was Calzaghe's next attempt at "greatness". I'll be surprised if people even remember this guy anymore, surely a few years later no one will know he existed.

    Move to 6:30 and laugh out loud at this joke.

    everyone of you americans have always slated Joe, calling him cal-slappy ect... thing is he took on eveyone who stepped up to the plate and disposed of them all, slapping or not he got the job done and retired undefeated.

    Lacy - Next best thing, got his arse handed to him on a plate

    Kessler (who i think is a great boxer) - stepped up and got his arse handed to him, admitted he didnt know what to do with joe.

    Hopkins - ''ill never let a white boy beat me'' (cos he spent most of his time rolling around the floor claiming low blows) and still lost!

    RJJ - was totally outboxed and didnt have a clue

    I don't remember many staying awake for the fight for Jones either. With 24/7 how much PPV buys did that do?, 150k? :lol:

    And who wants hear Hopkins cry like a ***** for months after he loses a close decision again! If only Joe had the power (like old days) to shut him up for good, a rematch would have been nice! Instead we would just have gotten another borefest, with the exact same result! Nobody would pay money to watch that same **** again:nut
