Hopkins Robbed.........Calzaghe Overated

Torres himself hardly seemed to believe he deserved to win. Eddie's tombstone reads, "Uncrowned Light Heavyweight Champion," a perfectly acceptable epitath.

 

I'll pose the same question: which one of mine have you seen?

You scored DLH/Pea to DLh by 3 or 4 points from what I understand. I was also pointing to your extreme bias in posts, which goes beyond scorecards.

 

Yeah, because Wilde was such an impressive fighter on film and so much more skilled technically.

However Wilde dealt, we're still talking about a fighter considered the P4P greatest at his weight who went 100 fights, or near it, without a loss.

 

OK. However Calzaghe dealt, we're dealing with a fighter who's gone 45 fights(facing better comp than Wilde if I may be so bold as to say so) without a loss, considered the best at his weight. And he sure seems to "deal" a lot better than Wilde in footage.

Lobotomy's bias is laughable.

 

This would have been a great win to put on his resume but you can't win them all. he's 43 years old with nothing left to prove.

 

I can only assume the judges were paid off, given how all of them scored the second half of the fight almost exactly the same. Pretty much everyone who saw or commentated(Merchant, Lampley, etc) said the same.

Other than out-throwing, out-landing, landing at a higher percentage, and dropping him.

Again, I was referring to your bias for and against certain fighters. You thinking a limited fighter like Pavlik would beat Calzaghe proves this, your ridiculously high opinion of Sonny Liston(even if he is underrated), etc.

I rarely even post about Whitaker unless he's brought up in a negative way that calls for an immediate response. He's my favorite fighter, but many people seem to have similar(and even higher) opinions of him than myself.

 

Calzaghe has far more to his game than a slow, come-forward puncher like Pavlik. Calzaghe's past his prime at this stage, but I'd still bet the house on him over Pavlik.

 

Monzon never got dropped, hurt and outboxed for the majority of fights by fighters like Taylor. He also had a lot more to his game. His skills were very subtle, with Pavlik, it's a case of "what you see is what you get".

Absolutely, if they ever fight.

 

I'd like to hear an analysis as to why/how Kelly Pavlik would beat Joe Calzaghe.
