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

Many people use that argument because Hopkins fans say the same **** about Calzaghe. That's all it is. Stop talking **** about Calzaghe and the **** talk about Hopkins will die down. Keep on slagging off Calzaghe and you can expect nothing back but retaliation.

Why people can't just be fans of both fighters is a mystery. It's either one or the other, country vs. country, black vs. white. What a load of crap. Both these guys are exceptional boxers. May the best man win.

 

my point is compare genuine SMW's calzaghe has beaten to genuine MW's hopkins has beaten and all of a sudden the hopkins fanboys who clap their hands with glee when comparing the two fighters resumes won't be so happy.

if you don't think weight played a part for the DLH fight then there really is no point talking, he was so outgunned it wasn't even funny. at least oscar had some nice tits at MW.

 

calzaghe does exactly the same thing

 

Let's hope Bernard is ready for the same thing -- the hardest fight of his life that he's avoided for the last 10 years.

 

exactly, this is my point. there is not much between them in terms of resume, you can make a decent arguement for one man having the better and vice versa.

seriously though DLH didn't stand a chance, i'll openly admit that i give very little credit to him for that win. winky a bit more and then tito and bit more, in that order.

glen johnson and tarver are hopkins best wins imo.

 

you really don't wanna go down that path.

 

Jones was supposed to fight Calzaghe TWICE, according to Frank Warren. So what happened there then? Bad risk vs. reward? I think so.

Hopkins ducked Calzaghe 6 years ago and Joe has talked about nothing but fighting him since 10 years ago. These are just facts. Calzaghe has been ready for Hopkins for a decade.

 

with all due respect that's warren's word and i couldn't give two shits what that snake has to say.

AFAIC there was never any contact between the RJJ and calzaghe camps and neither fighter ducked that one.

 

there is strong evidence to suggest that hopkins ducked out of a bout with calzaghe six years ago.

 

I'm not sure what this means.
