Hopkins always said he takes away his opponents' best weapon. What is Calzaghe's?

Calzaghe has the speed, power, stamina, etc., Hopkins has the referee and judges.

 

Yeah. They should fight in WALES, where they'll be much more fair and unbiased:rofl

 

calzaghe doesn't lead with his face like hatton, he is nowhere near as reckless as hatton. hopkins also doesn't have mayweathers handspeed to catch calzaghe like floyd did to hatton.

two important points...

calzaghe has a vastly superior chin to hatton.

calzaghe is a master at slipping shots, watch him duck and weave away from kesslers right hand during their fight. hopkins right is very accurate but he hasn't faced anyone with calzaghes mobility and ability to slip those shots for some time.

 

so, just how many gift decisions has joe got in his career?

 

Calzaghes weapon is his Ali shuffle and 1 hand behind his back suckin his toe how can any 43 yr old can put up with that?

 

:roll:

just like kessler knocked him down when he was off balance and leaning over? oh wait.

tell me, who hits harder, kessler or hopkins?

 

when joe sits on his punches, he can dig. check out the body work in the 8th v kessler when he has him gasping for air and stumbling away.

he just tends not to put much behind his punches because of his china hands and instead focuses on volume.

he's no monster puncher but he can still crack when needed.

in his early days he really could bang.

 

complete beside the point, kessler couldn't knock him over when he was off balance and leaning in and he hits a hell of a lot harder than hopkins with good accuracy.

 

they've both been down twice in their entire careers.

 

define top ranked.

 

You know what? You have made it obvious that you know absolutely nothing at all about Joe Calzaghe, and all this hate that you and many others show is born of ignorance, plain and simple. Honestly, your warped, twisted, and frankly completely ridiculous views are sickening.

Don't talk **** if you don't know ****.

 

Ok then, give us an example of "Joe diving in".

Post a video link or point out exactly where he has "dived in" in a particular fight.

 

Hopkins lost to Jones (no disgrace admittedly), took 9 rounds to catch up with former lightweight De La Hoya, lost to Jermain Taylor twice (albeit in close fights) and edged Winky.

The Tarver win was impressive but how good was Tarver? Answer: we'll find out against Clinton Woods on April 12th.

You forgot Glen Johnson - arguably Hopkins best performance (Johnson himself says that was the only fight where he was completely dominated)...............but that was over 10 years ago!

 

The Joe nuthugging is qetting quite severe. Look, Joe might blow Hopkins out of the water, but nothing that Joe has done in the past justifies the idol worship that keeps getting heaped on him.
