    Well there's no bias in that post is there?

    That's about as open minded an approach to his career as a Jew looking into Hitler's past.

    Certainly not comparing Hopkins to Hitler - But the way some of the Calzaghe fans are talking on this board it's close.

    You can't hold an era against a fighter.

    You could easily go overly pro-Hopkins and say -

    * Beaten by a Prime RJJ by only a couple of points when he was still raw

    * Ruler of a very average MW Division, with more defences of the title than any other middle in history
    * Reputation for beating up little men, much like Carlos Monzon. Except of course Glenn Johnson and Tarver
    * 2 highly disputed losses to the talented Taylor
    * Tarver win means something.

    Stupid post.

    His legacy is instant HoF in five years post retirement.

    Deal with it.

    :lol:

    It was always fun, man. Most people **** me off on here, because they don't respect to anyones opinion. I disagreed with you a lot on Hopkins, but it was always cool, 'cause I knew you'd listen to what I was saying even if you thought I was talking out of my arse. Even though we went round in circles a few times, I enjoyed it.

    The guy posts all kinds of biased bull****. He's admitted to blatantly being biased a few days ago, actually. I don't know what his game is, but I tend to ignore him. He probably wants to **** people off. People on ESB will always take te bait, I guess.









    (To any outsiders, excuse the little lovefest here. I'll go back to being a grumpy **** soon :D)
