    I am not a Hopkins fan.

    I am not predicting a Roy Jones victory.

    I give Calzaghe credit where it's due. I've always said he was a very good fighter.

    He beat a 43 year old Hopkins, who was visibly tired for maybe the first time in his career.

    Do I think it was a good win? Sure. Do I think it was a win to propel Calzaghe to greatness? No. Calzaghe was the favorite, expected by most to win, and is far closer to his prime than Hopkins is.

    In the meantime, I give credit to Calzaghe. I've always said he was a class act. Throughout all of the press conferences, while Hopkins acted like an idiot to sell tickets or "intimidate", Calzaghe behaved like a respectable human being. I like that.

    However, intentionally hitting a guy in his balls because he knocked you down is classless. Yeah, low blows happen. Yeah, Hopkins is dirty.

    But, to retaliate to a legitimate knockdown with a low blow is a ZAB JUDAH MOVE. It's what he did to Mayweather....

    I don't like nice, respectable, classy fighters like Calzaghe doing classless things...

    It was rough from the first bell, Calzaghe was just letting BHop know he wasn't gonna lie down and take it.

    Onceagain it would appear you are a wise man .

    Boxing is STILL an underground sport in this country Ricky Hatton was the exception. Since Joes last few fights have been on council telly he has become 10 times more famous than he ever was , if you had stopped people in the street while Joe was still fighting on SKY and shown them a picture of JC 90% wouldnt have known who he was !

    To understand why the Brits are the way they are you have to look at our history and place in the world , We have more in common with the US these days than we do with the rest of europe but we are right next to them. Also we ruled the world depsite being a tiny little country these historical influences mean we tend to be ferocious in our support if one of our own goes out into the big wide world.

    Also just one to help in your wind up , when the UK was formed as we were all ruled by the English monarch it was actually perfectly acceptable and grammatically correct to call Scots , Wesln , N Irish - English ( not that I would advise it now ! )

    Also I get what your saying about being called Yanks but its quicker to type than American ! :D

    Americans didn't ditch Lacy, they were never coming out in huge numbers to begin with. That and the fact he got hurt, was inactive makes him somewhat a non-issue.

    Why do Brits want to start a war of words with the USA so much? Is it because our women have straight teeth? ;)

    well he's still winning and was a former p4p for many years, a very accomplised fighter,regarded also as the most talented fighter in the last 20 years. you can't deny that.

    in 2006 he beat the man considered the biggest threat to him in the division in brutal fashion, jeff lacy, to unify part of the division and claim the ring magazine title. of course before hand lacy was meant to thrash the eurofag calzaghe but you all forget that, lacy amnesia, t'is a terrible thing.

    in 2007 he beat his next main threat and the man people wanted him to face, mikkel kessler to unify further and become the first ever undisputed SMW champion.

    ....and on saturday he moved up to LHW (something people wanted to see him do for ages), went to the US (another demand from the fans solved) and beat the man considered the champion of the division to become a two weight champ.

    :deal admire greatness.

    What a wanker, brags about hitting low once than claims the second one was all an act. Almost as gay as calzaghe repeating about 3-4 times in the post fight press conference "a white guy kicked your ass, yeah". He didn't kick anybody's ass, but he sure was close to nard's privates several times in the fight.

    No, he shouldn't... That is just being honest and smart. Hopkins did it a million times and has no regrets about it. Cotto is not ashamed to have done to Zab either... The Game is very rough and if the ref doesn't do anything about it, there's no point cryin like a *****.

    Man, Zab is just a wacko... Calzaghe can't be compared to Zab. That move that Zab used against Floyd in the 10th isn't just normal - the guy went right to the nuts and to the back of the head and was one year suspended. I mean, Judah does that **** against Shane and he should be erradicated from boxing!
