Calzage-Hopkins-opinion

114-113 for Calzaghe. Been a while since I scored it though.

 

What you are posting doesn't even make sense. Its like this subject has got you so flustered you are just typing random words and phrases.

The only person that looks like a nutjob right now is you.

 

Ugly Terrible fight like Oscar Whitaker

Gave it to the less effective aggressor vs the reluctant defender

 

Even ***** ( allegedly ) who now hates Calzaghe with a vengence still agrees that they thought they had a Hopkins fight in the bag 6 years earlier, only for him to pull out and fight Carl Daniels instead.

So where all this waiting for him to turn 40 crap is just that, CRAP.

 

I know. Calzage won 8 to 4 or if you want to be generous to Hopkins 7-5.

Calzahge threw more, landed a higher %, and landed more power shots.

Before the fight I thought Hopkins would win it...Scored the fight for Calzaghe by one point. I really like this fight because stylistically they are the opposite of one another...and cancelled each other out...neither fighter was able to establish anything. I would envision a Greb/Burley fight would play out similarly in the mind's eye.

 

Let me just take this time to say I hate punch stats. They are absolutely meaningless in boxing. Even their use of the name "powerpunch" to describe any punch that isnt a jab regardless of how hard its thrown is ridiculous. So when someone says slappy threw more powerpunches a la punch stats its ridiculous. This is coming from someone who thought slappy clearly won. Done ranting.

 

and yet joe did not fight any legends when they were prime, only 40+.

that is a fact. a crap fact, but a fact

 

yeah u cannot answer, so u opt out.

why don't u wait till i'm past it

 

Answer?

This was the only question in that dribble and it was so absurd I assumed it was rhetorical...right?

"Are you thus calling Hopkins an idiot deluded fool?"

 

you are still calling Hopkins a fool.


I advise you to run gibbering like calzaghe instead of answering.

 

No, you are making a baseless accusation that I'm calling Hopkins a fool. Big difference.

Answer what? You didnt' even post a question this time.

 

now you keep running instead of explaining why you think calzaghe was faded but Hopkins was prime, despite the 7 year age difference and hops being in his 40s.

now you keep running instead of explaining why joe didn't fight a great when they were prime.

why you gotta enjoy running so much? please explain, because you wont sure as hell explain the above two points, you'll just keep this 'OOH I DONT UNDERSTAND U' farce up in order to save face in your lost argument/
