Calzaghe: Hopkins, Who Have You Beaten?

Obviously he doesn't consider Kessler and Eubank very good. He is a fool. Eubank is a legend. Kessler is damn good.

 

Now try saying that with a straight face
Sadly I honestly think you believe this and there lies the problem..:rofl

 

Try making a post without posting an irritating smily rolling on the floor.

 

Joe Calzaghe is going to destroy Hopkins. It will be a Boxing clinic. Calzaghe at 175 is a whole different animal.

 

Yeah, Eubank was still a good win even though he was past it. I think Kessler is the best win on his resmue though. Undefeated Champion in his prime a top 20 p4p fighter right now still. Hopkins knows Kessler is a good fighter but he is just trying to belittle Joe and get in his head.

Both fighters are trying to get the mental edge, and that is why we are seeing this right now because both guys are very smart in the ring and they know this about each other, they want any advantage they can get coming into the fight.

Hopkins has some very good wins too though. He was a 3 to 1 underdog against Tarver, most were saying he was too small and too old. After the fight we find out that Tarver is the one who looks old and past his prime. Tito was a machine when Hopkins dismantled him, destroying Joppy right before that after dominating 154. The Oscar win does not look near as good though because DLH had no business at 160. Glen Johnson was great win too, Hopkins made Glen look bad and GJ was a very good fighter at his best.

 

Look here dude I can do what the **** I want.......The smiley are from your stupidity....

You DO know that when the "legend" Chris Eubank fought Calzaghe, he was coming off a retirement and had the seriously weight drain just to make that fight happen........Now if that's your top win for Calzaghe besides the Lacy fight then so be it...

And if you're comparing Bernard Hopkins with a CRUDE Jeff Lacy you are in for a shock.......No smily needed.

Calzaghe is not a POWER PUNCHER he is actually a reckless type of fighter...He MAY win this fight, but he is not more accomplished than BHOP in any way

 

The question should be to Calzaghe, he hasent beat anybody considered great so shut up dude.

 

I Hope Its Not A Snooze Fest After All The Mud Slingging Thats Taken Place.

 

I don't think they are delusional - they are just excited and know how much this fight means for Calzaghe and for them... Maybe, they are getting a little bit ahead of themselves but that's alright... Bernard has a point in disregarding european opposition since Morrade Hakkar went there to Philly to make one of the saddest, most ridiculous performances in boxing... I know Cal will not freeze but he won't be extremelly self-confident either...

 

Ooh, getting angry now? My turn...

:rofl

PS: Where did I compare Lacy to Hopkins? You big-headed American twerp.

PPS: Eubank was only 31. And he went on to fight a cruiserweight.

 

Not angry and actually I really respect Calzaghe's skill set and I think he's 1 of the top 3 fighters in the world.....To me you can have the most accomplished resume ever, but it's all about the matchup and I think Calzaghe has several PHYSICAL advantages in this matchup...

I also understand this is one of the bigger fights for "your side of the pond" and that's to be respected......Just don't sleep on Bernard, he's very calculated and knows what he's doing in there.....

Another thing I've learned is that:
1. When you "trash" the opponent your fighting and win;
2. It's hard to try to make that person "great" afterwards...

Case in point Floyd beating Gatti and then wanting credit..
Anyways good luck and hopes for a great fight.:good

 

I'm not sleeping on Bernard. He was one of my favourite fighters for years.

Cheers! Same to you -- enjoy the fight. I think it'll be superb entertainment. :good

 

Wins over Tarver, Tito and Johnson were all good wins. The fight with Winky was a farce however and as meaningful as Trinnidad-Jones imo.

 

I bet you if cal beats him and does it fairly easy (not that i think he will win easily,but i take him to win),we will get a ton of threads saying that hopkins was past it and it dont mean ****

 

Jermain Taylor is NOT a great fighter
