    When was the last time he KOed anyone, wasn't it against DLH (whom many thought quit at the first significant punch he took)?

    I am pretty sure he also said like KOing JC or something to that tune for their 1st fight.

    Before you criticise watch the interview. "Bunces Boxing Hour - Setanta Sports" He freely admits that Calzaghe had the plan to beat him

    There's a far greater chance of Hopkins KO'ing Calzaghe than the other way around. The last time Calzaghe knocked anyone out was the great Tyler Hughes in 1997.

    Here is where I have a problem with this statement:

    It took Hopkins 11 rounds to KO Tito who has a Glass Jaw he could not KO Glass Jaw Roy Jones either yet he is going to stop Calzaghe?

    His last KO was DLH and that was what 5 years ago? :patsch

    You seem to be forgetting, Calzaghe was off-balance when he got hit, It was not a clean knockdown,
    Hopkins does not have the power to knock down calzaghe cleanly.

    Exactly!

    ****, it's not like Calzaghe dominated the first fight which was extremely close and could have gone either way.

    newsflash genius. hopkins didn't look as good against calzaghe as he did against pavlik because calzaghe jumped on his ass and made him work for the whole ****ing fight. pavlik stumbled around the ring like a zombie with a couple of lead weights tied to his fists getting outclassed with hilarious ease because hopkins is on another level to him as a fighter.

    Holding a world title for the length of time he has makes him a all time great alone.
    These wins just keep making his career even more notable.

    Ridiculous comment. Not even Joe Calzaghe himself would claim that. He got punched in the head and fell. ****ing hell.

    Holding a WBO title for 9 years from 1997 til 2006 and fighting no-one of any real quality in that time does not make you an "all-time great". Actually think about what that phrase means and who true "all-time greats" are.

    slapped him to death! calzaghe will be remembered as a coward whether his fans like it or not! love to see an upset, with roy jones knocking him out! so you could then shut the **** up!

    you must be ****in crazy if you think calzaghe is a legend!
