at least huh ahhaaa you want to say joe was older than bernardaahaa bending space and time by 8 years to accommodate joe being older than Bernard, in order to duck the fact joe picked top americans ONLY WHEN they were 40somethings....and joe making it his career highlight! but you know, to be fair, a long term minor title holder needs to wait till ATGs are 40something to stand a chance of scrrayping past them, else he would have got stopped in the same round they all dropped him, in ONE.
I never said he was older, dimwit. Top Americans avoided Joe, including your top boy, Roid Jones. We know why now, given his pathetic excuse for a chin. :yep
Calzaghe trained in a sheep barn in a tiny town in a tiny country and was trained by an alcoholic local rock musician Those credentials were just too high risk for a man used to fighting taxi drivers, teachers and toilet cleaners
at least as past it as Hopkins HAHAHAH you actually want to say he was worse off agewise than Hopkins. BUT YOU CANT. ANd HAHAHA I'm not American, looks like your post double flopped mate.
Now Herol.... There you go again. Diving into a ten year old thread. He's never gonna stop haunting you, is he ? And it's like I told you about the alcoholic, one post is too many and a hundred is never enough. It's over, lad. He's left the scene, gone back to Wales or whatever. It's painful to watch the way you are tortured by this ghost. (At least he seems able to inject Missus Gee with some joy. ) The therapy seems to be going nowhere, so I think I'll just start praying for you. Peace, bro !
looking at the thread in hindsight , calzaghe went on to beat kessler in front of 50000 and the hopkins fight would have been bigger in the uk , but calzaghe agreed to fight in the states , so he went against his own words.
hopkins next fight was against pavlik who the gassing 40 something took to school in a 1 sided fight and one of hopkins best ever performances. so while old in boxing terms cakzaghe beat the number 1 light heavy ranked in the world in 2008 in hopkins.
Herol, lad, your edit is even worse than your original post. If that's all you could muster after two and a half hours of hard noodling, things are looking really bleak, son. You need to get the welshman completely out of your mind, or you'll go completely out of your mind. I have started a prayer circle for you, to seek intervention for you from a higher source, 'cause clearly your group sessions aren't cutting the must ard. God bless your troubled soul, my son. :-((
It is great to think a shot, bloated brittle handed Calzaghe beat up a prime Hopkins at his weight in his back yard in a 9 round thrashing. Hopkins went on to produce his best performances and against people in his weight classes, not blown up ww's like he did earlier in his career. Hopkins really came into his prime against Calzaghe and enjoyed a few years at the top of his game
Hopkins got schooled BAD! Hopkins looked like a 5 fight novice fighting a true Master. Then after he lost to Calzaghe, somehow Hopkins is good again. An old Calzaghe made Hopkins look like trash.:yep
Until you can comprehend that different boxers deteriorate at different ages, my inspections and wisdom are wasted on you.
