    If Hopkins was 3 years younger Calzaghe wouldn't have no chance.

    Calzaghe fought as well as he could have, and barely beat the 43 year old legend.

    Proof that bringing up any posts comparing Hopkins abilities to anyone, after last night, are futile. Especially in American circles.

    Calzaghe barely SDed a 43 year old Hopkins.Hopkins from a few years back would have beat him close but clear.Make a poll just for fun with this,I'm sure you know what the answer will be:yep :hey

    This thread is stupid.

    Calzaghe is from Wales. He's obviously never going to be better then Hopkins. Hopkins was arsing about when they fought. Calzaghes slaps were tickling him, you see, and he forgot to win the fight.

    You can't be from Europe and be any good, don't you know anything?
     
  9. I don't believe this! Hopkins beats Pavlik and all of a sudden he's a god who Calzaghe only beat because of his age!?!? GET REAL! Hopkins gassed with Joe DUE to Joe; notice how he did not gas to Pavlik? Huh?

    Give Joe he's credit; don't be pathetic.

    OK, here are the facts from the objective none british and none-american press: Calzaghe won the fight 8-4 to 9-3 in rounds.

    Could it have gone any differently? No, I don't think so. Calzaghe will never KO hopkins and hopkins will always have real trouble with Joe's style. Joe is just such a bad match-up for Bernard.

    And that's why Hopkins beats Calzaghe but history was written and Joe won so no point in arguing.He should have waited tough till Hopkins was 50 years old so that he can win a UD:rofl
