    I really don't concern myself with the nonsense. I like to talk boxing. I have no alt accounts, bor do I know who may or may not.

    My debates hardly ever go down this road.

    Look at the context I mentioned those 2 fights. A claim was made by sways that Hopkins ducked Sturm.

    Sturm held the WBO title from Sept 2003 - June 2004, during that period of time Hopkins fought:-

    Unification bout with William Joppy, and a mandatory defense of the IBF title against Robert Allen.

    You come back here to talk **** after you couldnt respond to the two 10 - 0 whitewash thrashings in the other thread. And you come here responding to my post that was clearly in context to rebuttal Swayz claims. Your a joke.

    Mosley > Margarito > Cotto > Mosley :huh > Margarito > Cotto > Quintana > Williams > Winky > Mosley:huh > Mayorga > Forrest > Mosley:huh > Mayorga > Forrest > Mora > Forrest > Mosley :huh> Mayorga > Forrest > Mora = Mosley:huh

    **** outta here with that lame excuse son, you still aint responded to the two 10 - 0 whitewash thrashings.

    Lacy was ****. Still ****, and probably remain ****.

    That dont disprove he is ****.

    doesnt disprove he is ****.

    Hopkins was #1 P4P when he called out RJJ, I already showed you the video:-

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJbOw_5DPiE[/ame]

    Calzaghe is the one who said give me the crown jewels I dont want it otherwise.

    I remeber seeing them fight, Calzaghe the one who refused the rematch.

    First time I heard this, bring your proof.

    Calzaghe was not even the best in his division in 2002

    Ottke was the best SMW at the time, Calzaghe and Ottke were just playing with each others pussies.

    Hopkins fought jones already and asked for a rematch. Calzaghe was too ***** for a rematch.

    Hopkins goes to the #1 LHW in the #1 LHW hometown and fights him. That aint no win-win situation. Bring your proof otherwise.

    Both were just playing with each others pussies. Both were a bunch of pussies there.

    This is what you said:-

    Froch was the #1 WBC SMW mandatory while Calzaghe held the title, Calzaghe didnt want it.

    But Peter Manfredo and Evans Ashira were OK.

    Froch would have knocked him out thats why Calzaghe didnt want it.

    The public were calling for Froch vs Calzaghe since 2004, calzaghe didnt oblige but was too *****.

    But Tocker Pudwill and Evans Ashira and Manfredo and Starie were.

    Starie was the commonwealth champ and Calzaghe took him on in an instant but not Froch.

    :think


    so this fight could only possibly have happened if sturm was the champion? i don't think so. especially as sturm defended his title 4 times during hopkins reign whereas liles only defended his title twice...but you criticise calzaghe for not facing liles and make excuses for hopkins not facing sturm. if you can't see your obvious double standards you are beyond help.



    unlike hopkins who only fought champions right? or did it in fact take hopkins 6 years to face another champion?

    liles only fought 3 times after calzaghe won the title. he lost 2 of those. 1 of of them was at 175. when & where was this fight supposed to happen?




    neither fought EVERY rival. if you say either did you are lying.




    oh right. so once again...you said something that was incorrect...i correct you and you make it about something else...namely calling calzaghe a *****. hardly objective, is it?

    i would also point out that ottke/calzaghe & their inability to get that fight made in their primes bares more than a passing resemblance to the inability of rjj & b-hop to have that rematch in their primes. but again...where calzghe & ottke are eurobum pussies in your world...i'm sure you think that neither b-hop or roy were to blame. :patsch

    i disagree....namely because calzaghe didn't need 2 fights to win his title in the first place & didn't go diving out of the ring like cintron for a nc in one of his defences & didn't drop the titles either. but...agree to disagree on that 1 i guess...it's all just opinion anyway.

    i suppose this is true...i don't think their is any question that both were the best at their weights for pretty much the entirity of their reigns tho...whether it was "accepted" or not.

    i take it you mean ring rankings...in which case he probably did. but i don't put a lot of stock in ring rankings tbh as they tend to favour hyping fights in the us. just imo.

    means nothing. b-hop knocked out a load of blown up welterweights. whoop de doo.

    i disagree. but at least we agree they had similar reigns. :happy

    i didn't say it did. i said it was a better (individual) win than anything on b-hop's resume. imo of course.

    but also took losses to lesser opponents like taylor & a draw with mercado & a losses to opponents who are/were roughly equal to him like cal & rjj. his resume is not just his wins (altho this is not me nuthugging an "0"...an "0" does not make a fighter great on it's own & i would never say it did).


    it was a good win. i think b-hop is a better win because i rate him more highly & calzaghe was going up in weight to face the recognised man at 175. the fact the fight ended up being close is more to do with both of them being very evenly matched (even if you could argue neither were at their best or in their "prime"). but i also thought calzaghe was quite a clear winner...which is not a universally shared opinion. oh well.

    no instead he moved up in weight to face the recognised number 1 at 175. what a *****. :patsch



    calzaghe no more ducked froch than b-hop ducked abraham. do you really believe that froch would have beaten calzaghe? i doubt it.

    Like you said :think, your rubbing your chin, I never said that it was ok or not.

    Sturm held the WBO title Sept 2003 - June 2004.

    Hopkins fought WBA champ Joppy and IBF Mando Robbert Allen.


    Sturm held the title for 9 months and was not ranked anywhere close to Hopkins.

    Liles held it for more than a year and was ranked ahead of Calzaghe.


    It took Hopkins 5 years for his first unification bout, it took Calzaghe 9 years.:-(

    Calzaghe didnt mention it when Liles was #1, so it werent meant to happen.

    Hopkins fought every rival win lose or draw. Anyone that got ranked #2 or #3 got fought.

    Calzaghe didnt fight Ottke and Beyer who reached #1 #2 and #3.


    You know we were discussing their MW and SMW reigns. If we bring in their LHW achievements Calzaghe cannot measure up. Who can you accuse Hopkins playing ***** with in his MW reign.

    BHop and Roy were not in the same division, Ottke and Calzaghe were. Calzaghe played ***** with people in his own division.

    Hopkins won the first fight but got robbed and then KO Mercudo in the rematch. Calzaghe didnt KO no one to win the vacant title.

    Hopkins fought more top 10 ranked opposition than Calzaghe did.

    Hopkins fought more reigning MW champions than Calzaghe fought SMW champions.

    Hopkins dominated every fight, Calzaghe struggle to overcome Bika and Reid.

    Just shows Hopkins dominance better than Calzaghe's.

    I agree Ring Rankings are usually bias towards American fighters. But in this case I agree. Hopkins was recognised as the main man when he beat Trinidad after 5 years, and Calzaghe got recognised as the main man after beating Lacy after 9 years.

    Its the dominance.



    We can agree on that.



    its your opinion, I think a SD win aint better than the KO win over Johnson, or the shutout over Pavlik.


    First time I heard a Calzaghe fan explain the "0" properly. His losses came he took risks, But if we look at losses and draws, we have to consider the manner he lost in. In no way was he outclassed or dominated.


    Calzaghe SD Hopkins aint a dominate win, it was a scrape through win. Hopkins hasnt got any of those.

    Abraham never called out Hopkins, was never ranked near him.

    I think Froch would have beaten Calzaghe.

    Calzaghe wasnt the kind that outboxes, he was good at outworking his opponent. Froch is a guy I dont see being outworked. He went wars with Kessler and Pascal, shows he is a solid 12 round fight with good work rate. Calzaghe wont hurt Froch, but Froch would hurt Calzaghe.

    Ok I publically accept swayz didnt make that claim, and I misquoted him.

    What swayz did do was compare Frankie Liles vs Calzaghe to Felix Sturm vs Hopkins.

    I wronged swayz, but what I did reply to bailey still stands.

    Swayz....didn't forget about your post.

    I think. Trinidad is the best win on either guys resume. All things being equal, he is the most dangerous opponent on either. If you are going to devalue Trinidad as a mw, then why wouldn't you devalue Pavlik or Wright or even Pascal or Hopkins himself? Moving up in weight is a rite of passage for many fighters and with a fighter of Trinidads calibre, it dhouldnt lose all that much in the translation.

    The public wanted Froch vs Calzaghe since before the Lacy Bout, Froch Called Calzaghe out before the Lacy bout aswell.
