    I never understand why fans of any fighter would want to completely discredit that fighter's upcoming opponent. If Hopkins was as ordinary in his prime as some people make him out to be, what credit should Joe get for beating him now? But some people do that same thing before every big fight. It doesn't make sense to me...

    Where was I???

    Its called HAVING A JOB!!! Try it...its fun.

    Now, I have already PROVEN beyond a shadow of a doubt that PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING in your "factual analysis" was NOT based on fact. The mere "fact" that you cant accept this continues to destroy your credibility...and shows your CLEAR agenda.

    Now you mention that I was degrading Joe's resume???

    CAN YOU EVEN ****IN READ?!?!?!?! Calzaghe is one of my all time favorite fighters you twit. I showed you that ANY fighters resume can be disected if you look at it biasedly (as you were/are with Hopkins')...by showing you how a person with an agenda can degrade a damn good resume in Joe's. I stated that I didnt believe it, only used it to further prove how ridiculously mistaken your "facts" were.

    Can you even read???

    And I love how you state that Lacy was favored, so that means it was a big win (which I fully agree it was)...yet you ignore that Tarver, Wright, Tito, Holmes and now Calzaghe are/were all favored as well? Where does your rationale land on this one??? Again, you are exposed.

    STOP POSTING...DO YOU REALIZE NOONE IS AGREEING WITH YOU?!?!?!

    When you learn a little more about the sport (or can actually look at it objectively), come talk to me. Until then, it will ALWAYS be sues2nd KO2 MasterCalzaghe.

    :hi:

    I hate when people declare victory over another poster.

    I feel others should judge such things.

    I've always contested that Calzaghe would beat Hopkins prime to prime and I'll stand by that statement of Hopkins having a much better chance in a 15 rounder.

    However, I would say that before because it would have been ABSURD around here to try to open people's minds to the truth right after God Hopkins beat Tarver and Wright and Joe just struggled with Bika.

    After Kessler, most of these morons got to see a past prime, declining Calzaghe outclass a prime elite fighter and most of them know that Hopkins doesn't even have a win over an elite natural MW-LHW.:yep

    Kessler is a prime elite fighter ( whatever that means) and Segundo Mercado, John David Jackson, Antwun Echols, Robert Allen, Joe Lipsey, Glen Johnson, William Joppy, Howard Eastman, Keith Holmes were not natural MWs? Even Lupe Aquino, Simon Brown, Syd Vanderpool, Oscar De La Hoya, Carl Daniels and Felix Trinidad were better fighters at 160 than Branko Sobot, Juan Carlos Gimenez Ferreyra, Rick Thornberry, Miguel Angel Jimenez, Will McIntyre, Tocker Pudwill, Evans Ashira and Peter Manfredo Jr were at 168! Concerning the LHW division, Hopkins' wins over Tarver and Wright are better than any Calzaghe fight at 175. Your cheap elitist talk is not going anywhere... Your fighter never made good money in his entire career before the Lacy and Kessler fights... He's getting a chance now to continue making a name for himself and you are descrediting one of the best MWs ever and who is providing him a chance to shine in the US... I am not misinterpreting you now by any means - Calzaghe fans such as yourself don't deserve a fight against Hopkins. Period.
