Funny that Hopkins constantly dogs Calzaghe....

I'm sick and tired of this same stupid ass argument. When the **** are you people going to pick up a ****in map, learn some geography, and stop being so ignorant. The U.K is about the size of Oregon. The U.S and Europe are a fair comaprison as far as size goes. So Calzaghe taveling outside of the U.K but still in Europe is equivlant to Hopkins fighting across the U.S

 

Hopkins fought outside the US 2 times....

Either way, don't care.

 

Not to mention that the USA is the mecca of boxing and the vast majority of hispanic and Russian fighters live and fight here, so there is no need to travel to europe and fight a bunch of european bums. Hell Winky Wright made a career traveling across europe and beating those stiffs.

Im going to go with you on this one Bigreg and go with a Philly fighter. This would have been lopsided 6-7 years ago

 

What the ****, do I have to draw a picture for you? The U.S is much bigger than the U.K, it's a much farther trip to go from the U.S to the U.K then it is to go from the U.K to Germany. Quite simply put, Hopkins has traveled more miles during his careeer than Calzaghe. If Nard was fighting pretty much all of his fights in Pennslyvania, then you would have a point. As it stands, your argument is seriously flawed.

 

Nope considering that Super middle has been considered one of the weakest divisions in boxing since its inception, what, 20 years ago lol?
'
Just because you defended your belt against 20 bums, means you just defended your belt against 20 bums.

Just like Mayweather said to Hatton, "Hatton aint fought 43 Mayweathers, if he did he'd be 0-43".

You judge a fighter by his comp.

 

Ok I give Calzaghe for dominating a **** poor division with alot of scrub fighters, while Roy Jones, Hopkins, Oscar, Wright, Tarver, Mosley,Trinidad ect were out there to be fought in other divisions. Calzaghe could have shed or gained a few pounds to fight them. Imagine if Floyd had stayed at superfeather, I guarantee he could have 20 title defenses too and win all his fights pretty easily. But he went looking for a challenge.

I dont care much for undefeated records. Its really easy to cultivate an undefeated record these days in boxing. I'd rather a fighter fight a another proven fighter then duck behind an 0.
