Have to laugh at those quick to condemn calzaghe for taking a fight with hopkins when Hopkins was apparently OVER THE HILL !
Calzaghe close to end of his own career as well and far from prime, calzaghe got hammered for taking on Hopkins.
Then hopkins goes on to prove he is still very much a threat by beating up Pavlik, and then he just beat a guy who beat dawson.
The same dawson some on here were heralding as the man to smash calzaghe to pieces.
Makes the ridicule of Calzaghe for taking Hopkins fight previously as laughable now.
Now Bernard Hopkins is THE man at light heavy once again, ask Pascal if Hopkins is over the hill
Bernard Hopkins must be some sort of robot to go from Over the hill bum that Calzaghe faced to Light Heavy champ in the blink of an eye.
Or could the truth be that Calzaghe fought a still excellent fighter in BHop and Bhop being the smart tactician he is recognised he couldnt do what he wanted in that fight.
So he tied calzaghe up and hoped for a decision?? :think Nahh that wont be accepted by the haters damn it
Calzaghe took Hopkins on at his own weight class after unifying his own division, it was his very first fight at the weight.
No warm up before facing the man seen as number one light heavy in hopkins own backyard.
Ohh and before going up to light heavy who did Calzaghe beat to unify his super middle division? Ohh thats right Kessler who went on to beat Carl Froch a man who could still win the super six
I see why people call calzaghe a bum :good
I wonder how long it will be before the calls for Calzaghe to come out of retirement and face the once again great Bhop?
Calzaghe has the t shirt been there done that :smooch

I wouldn't break your neck going down on yourself and Calzaghe. I was always a fan of Joe's but he was schooled by Hopkins and got a gift decision. He did the right thing by retiring and avoiding Hopkins in a rematch.
