    Not anymore he isn't. But he used to be, no matter how much his critics refuse to believe it!

    His hands are f****d. Come on, give the guy a break.

    First of all, who has hurt Bernard Hopkins in his career ? Very few have, perhaps that is why he has been boxing so long. So, I wouldnt criticize Joe. But, I think Joe Calzaghe did hurt Bernard Hopkins. I cant remember which round it was, but the round Hopkins couldnt find his corner. At the end of the night Hopkins couldn't beat Joe. Hopkins couldnt change his zero.

    Joe didn't come close to hurting Hopkins. End of story.

    Sadly, we'll never know if Calzaghe could have hurt him. Too bad he didn't land any punches.

    Apparantly Calzaghe's punches dont even have to land to hurt, he nearly demolished Hopkins' testicles by brushing his shortline with the back of his glove.

    If he didn't hurt Hopkins, why did Hopkins stop throwing the right from the third onwards?

    Are we saying Hopkins was completely gassed by the fourth?
