    I'd have to agree, based on watching both fights, Taylor actually hit Hopkins more his fights with him. He said it was a like sniper going against an UZi against Calzaghe because all he had to neutralize was the punchoutput.

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyz2cws8LBE[/ame], whoever made this video is a genious, he made sure he exposed Calzaghe's Victory, being that some knucle heads out there didn't really get it that Hopkins beat him that night, and more decisively than Jermain Taylor.

    Hopkins should've just went to war with him if all he was doing was slapping him.

    Also, of course, B-Hop would say that since he lost to a white guy. :lol:

    I doubt that, he's telling how it is and the fight showed it. Taylor did hit him more throughout the whole fight, that's very obvious when you watch those fights. Hopkins fought a smart intelligent fight against Calzaghe and he got robbed.

    Didn't see Hopkins faking low blows to buy some breathing space in either of his 2 fights with Taylor :think

    Dont post that garbage in this forum.

    That guy used to post here and he established himself as a moron up to the level of Nallege, but atleast nallege had some backing from a few posters.

    That moron did a great job with the video cause he sure proved his point and back it up with credible sources at the end of the video. You guys know Calzaghe loss that fight, that's why it bothers you.

    Crap video people still butthurt about this fight. Hopkins thought he was Mayweather with those trunks and gloves. If Calzaghe was slapping Hopkins why was hop running around the ring and clinching to prevent Calzaghe from throwing.

    Calzaghe threw more punches and landed more punches as well, if you're going to be as inactive as Hopkins was you better make sure your opponent doesn't land 33% of his punches thrown.

    Those comments could've fooled me, considering he was reduced to faking low blows to get time to recover by the end of the Calzaghe fight whereas he was getting better as the Taylor fights went on.

    Probably so, but Calzaghe is better than Taylor.

    Probably right. However against Taylor he didn't have to hold on for dear life and employ spoiling tactics just to stay in the fight like he did against Joe.
