Benn ''I wish I had Calzaghes power'', talking about prime Joe.

Eubank was handing Thompson his ass till he was thumbed and one-eyed, (then took all Thompson's bombs til the end without seeing them coming!). Eubank easily won the first 5-6 rounds of both CT fights, completely schooling Carl and making him look like a donkey, even with restricted movement in his bad knees.

 

Fighters say questionable things all the time . Calzaghe - "Most people compare me to Ali "

 

Utter bullcrap Calzaghe didnt hit Hopkins with 10 LEGITIMATE scoring punches the whoile fight he slapped like a girl. No way in hell Calslappy won that fight. The blatant low blow & the attempted sexual assault of Bernard in the ring proves what Calzaghe was A pantie waisted coward

 

I beg to differ.... The 46-0 comes from Slappy ducking every dangerous fighter & getting bogus decisions he did not deserve eg the Hopkins debacle.
If Calzaghe wasnt a coward he'd have rematched Nard at home in Wales. He didnt because he knew Nard wouldnt let him get up off the floor AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Finley pin back your ears shut the lell up & listen sonny.
I have been in and around boxing for over 35 yrs both in and out of the ring. You on the other hand were still in diapers when Nigel was in his prime maybe you still are now:rofl
If you think Calzaghe can punch hard or ever could even & also think Calzaghe slapped his way to victory over Hopkins Its YOU who need to get the hell out & learn about the sport before opening your mouth OK

 

Quite the ******* werent ya if it really happened What Nigel should have done was put ya over his knee and spanked your ass in front of everyone You'd have been VERY embarassed then :hi:

 

All roads lead to Joe Calzaghe, this irrefutable fact seems to wrangle with so many Butthurt fanboys these days.

 

great fighter

. I understand that Hopkins is an American legend that people want to see as an iconic figure.

1. Calzaghe landed more than 100 punches than Hopkins throughout the fight.
2. Contrary to what people want to believe, Calzaghe also made Hopkins miss more
3. All round punch percentages, Calzaghe finished ahead of Hopkins
4. Calzaghe outlanded Hopkins in every round
5. A Byrd who scored for Hopkins it appears has a history for bad scorecards. Type in Adalaide Byrd in Google and see what comes up for yourself, still here are some little things for you to look at
a. A Byrd was the only judge out of the 3 scoring judges that had Mack ahead against Cloud
b. The K Pavlik - A Lopez fight was scored 98-92, 99-91 by the other 2 judges, A Byrd scored it 95-95
c. A Byrd was one of the judges that had Morales a 4 point loser against Maidana
d. In the S Aydin vs S Ouali fight, the other 2 judges scored clearly for Aydin. Byrd scored for Ouali
e. The J Almaraz/C Tyler fight was scored a Maj-Dec all because of one judge, guess which? A Byrd
f. The A DeMarco/J Reyes fight was a SD. Guess who the odd judge out was? A Byrd.
g. The R Torres - M Arnaoutis fight was a close fight, a point either way to 2 judges but a wide result scored by Byrd
h. In the A Pryor Jr/D Stanislavjevic SD, guess who the odd judge out was? You guessed it... A Byrd
i. The W Ferguson/J Lopez SD, guess who the odd judge out was? You guessed it... A Byrd

I think thats enough for you to get the picture with Byrd. Remember the other 2 judges scored clearly for Calzaghe

6. Calzaghe beat Hopkins in America, at a new weight with 3 American judges and Cortez as ref.
7. Calzaghe scored the single highest score card against Hopkins ever 116-111.
8. The 2 judges that scored for Calzaghe agreed on 9 of the rounds
9. Calzaghe landed more on Hopkins than anyone ever.


Now I know there will be a flood of people coming on here noting Hopkins scoring a flash KD in the first round, and I agree that Hopkins did win a few rounds even when he didnt land as often, but people are mad if they think Calzaghe won on workrate, Calzaghe won because he was able to land his left more often than Hopkins could land his right.
Calzaghe finished the stronger and took away the moments Hopkins likes down the stretch.
Other thoughts, If Hopkins thought he was winning, do you think he would have been looking for time out and would bother trying to get points deducted off of Calzaghe, of course he wouldnt, Hopkins knew he was losing.

What I do note is that nobody seems to mind Hopkins lost to Taylor. In the first Hopkins/Taylor fight, Jermaine was badly hurt and Hopkins looked the stronger at the end, yet it seems to upset alot of these people that Calzaghe beat Hopkins. Appears very biased.

 

I find this statement to be bull crap.. Hopkins has tried many times to get points deducted even in a fight he is winning. Typical Bernard antics... He won practically every round aginst Jones in the second fight, but was faking hurt even worse than he was in his fight with Calzaghe. Hopkins really thought he won that fight, I have 100 percent confidence in that.

As for Calzaghe landing more, you can't put too much into that either, many of those punches were not clean punches or hard at all which resulted in Calzaghe landing more on Hopkins than anyone ever. Who cares, Calzaghe's punches certainly didn't inflict the most damage Hopkins has felt in a fight, and lets remember that is the point of Pro boxing, not numbers.

I actually thought Bernard landed the better shots in the fight, just maybe not quite enough of them. That fight could have gone either way. The 116-111 is a pretty bad score , I have more of a problem with that one than I do 114-113 for Hopkins.

 

how much did joe paid benn to say this?

 

I was about to ask the same thing .
