    Just Calzaghe.

    He will never get his due as a fighter.

    He adapted after a dreadful start and beat Hopkins fair and square.

    If anything he didn't train right for the fight. Tactically it was a mess. He more than made up for this in his next fight against Pavlik and would no doubt embarrass Calzaghe if a rematch ever happened - which it won't because Joe doesn't want it.

    BHop won that fight, so NO he didn't overtrain. Slappy made an impression on the judges, though, with his slapping flurries that had no real effect. That's what Calzaghe does, so give him credit for implementing his gay plan.

    EDIT: I can't even be bothered to give a proper comment, your all ***gots. Except that Calzaghe won the fight and move on. I can't say who would win a rematch, but to say Hopkins would embarrass him is plain ridiculous. ****ing noobs.

    I think this highlights the purpose of this thread. Hopkins is a great, great fighter but he was beaten by an even better one. Watch the fight again, Calzaghe made the fight. Hops wasn't in it to win it, he was in it to spoil it.

    Canibus, this thread is :**** No amount of training would give Hopkins the advantage over Calzaghe. Why do you poofs keep dragging this on?

    I dont think so, he just lost to a good fighter its that simple. B-Hop is overrated these days.
