B-Hop breaks record... and makes Hopkins-Calzaghe debate look even more ridiculous!

All it proves is that Hopkins was still prime when Joe beat that ass.

Calzaghe beats any version of Hopkins, Calzaghe beats Hopkins at any stage of their careers.

1. Hopkins should have been awarded a close decision against Calzaghe.
2. Eubank was past his prime.
3. It took Calzaghe close to ten years to fight another resume building fight.
4. He dodged most of the challenging fights available during his career.
5 He benefited from hometown decisions and quick stoppages his entire career.
6. The Kessler win was nice.
7. SMW was a second class weight class most of his career and he beat a path north of SMW when it heated up.
8. The WBO was not recognized as a credible sanctioning body when he won the belt and even so he never made an effort to unify. He was content to "defend" his paper title for fans who don't know better.
9. When legit challenges were available at the end of his career he chooses to fight past their prime names and rather than fighting any of the credible challengers.

Hopkins defended the legit MW title 20 times, unified the belts on multiple occasions, and faced a higher level of competition.

Wrong on practically every point. Well Done.
