If you call getting put on the deck by two over 40 fighters " Whooping" them plus when Joe Cortez was the third man youre really stretching it
Oh man now we’re bringing Roy jones into it? That was a Lacying. Another man who got comprehensively whooped
Lacy was all smoke & mirrors Enzo saw it & forced Joe into fighting him both Bhop & Jones jr were nearly 50 yrs old yet Nard beat him
Calzaghe would only fight in England just like Floyd & Canelo will only fight in Vegas & Ward would only fight in Oakland to a half empty venue coz he couldn't draw flies to a cow patty
Check the punch stats, outlanded him 2:1. Was easy work for Calzaghe. Completely schooled him after the flash KD
Punch stats ?? since when did Slappy Joe start PUNCHING! 8 out of 10 blows he threw were SLAPS! You know like little girls throw. They used to be called " Inside of the glove blows" which are ILLEGAL blows because they caused cuts
Yep I had Hopkins winning the Calzaghe fight too, albeit only by a point or two. Joe's punch accuracy seemed really off to me, missing lots of grazing shots. Bernard was ancient, but did enough to get the nod. Not to derail the thread, but I wonder what it would have done for Hopkins' overall career ranking if he got the decision at that age over possibly the greatest SM of all time? Top 20-30 p4p ATG?
If Bernard wasthe Sleep Inducing Headbutt King then Floyd & Ward would be the two to put you in a coma
