70% of people on here instead of giving Hopkins the massive credit he would have deserved for defeating such a great fighter at this stage would have just let what they really wanted to do out and would have used it to thrash Joe Calzaghe, **** on his entire career and proclaim him as a Euro hype job that could never have hung with Americans. Hell, some are doing it even though he CLEARLY lost. That's the sad part, these people are not true boxing fans, they don't appreciate what these guys do in the ring at all.
Haters, spinsters and revisionists. The general forum is full of these idiots. I totally agree with the thread starters post.
Yes, I think we know that. Sad but true. We also have posters claiming that Hopkins was past his prime whilst convienently omitting to mention that Calzaghe is also past his prime
LMAO .. you agree because you're both a couple of dumbass pussies Joey didn't pick up any amount of fans in the US after that lame performance ... And you two dicks are STILL DICKS ... and that is written in stone.
IF Hopkins had won last night, it would have been HE who deserved all the credit. But yeah, Calzaghe would have been trashed (I would have had my own dig although not in the same way as Amsterdam said)
Not I. I know you wanted to see a more dominant performance out of Joe, but it was a historically significant fight for both of them, and they deserve heaps of credit for making it happen. Imagine the respect RJJ would have earned if he'd gone over to Germany and outpointed Dariusz. Joe deserves that kind of credit and much more for what he did last night.
What an intelligent and persuasive argument. I can see the written word is your forte and creating cogent arguments is somewhat a strength of yours. Glad to have you on the forum.
You constantly trash Mayweather for not beating Hatton or DLH convincingly enough. What's the difference between people getting on Calzaghe and what you do with Mayweather?
Hopkins got ass raped in that ring. i have a gif to prove it. was a good fight but not a pretty fight. calzaghe deserved to win but hopkins done better than i ever thought he would
Did anyone notice BHop was wearing the same colour of trunks and gloves that Floyd wear when he was beating up Hatton ? I think it was planned by him.
As a Mayweather fan, I have to say this is true. Does Mayweather not deserve appreciation for what he does (and has done) in the ring, just the same as Calzaghe (and Hopkins)?
It seems like all dude does is whine about American posters here and how we supposedly always dismiss European fighters and overhype our own. Enough is enough, goddamn....
