Apart from the cursing you put it well. :good The Kessler win was legitimate by consensus. It just seems most of the other "great" Calzaghe wins carry some debate with them. And even the Kessler fight was supposedly tainted by claims of Kessler having lost two weeks of sparring before the fight due to a broken hand. 1) Eubank was over-the-hill and had to take the fight with short notice. 2) Reid won the fight. 3) Lazy was hit with a myriad of unclean shots and stopped prematurely. 4) Hopkins won the fight. Calzaghe needs 1-2 clear wins against prime top-dogs to be counted among the best P4P in my book.
You must have been wearing your patented Calzaghe-hater sunglasses when watching the last three. Um, especially number 3!
:huhi was only pointing out how you would always forget to mention old..and would put legends instead and you sound like they duck joe before..atsch
Hopkins ducked Calzaghe (or decided to wait for a bigger money, easier fight if you prefer). Jones had no interest in fighting him, as he himself says.
Cobbler you have made a point out of changing the contents of my posts! Please stop doing it and read the fuc.... contents instead, or don't comment on my posts at all. I was summing up the critique that followed some Calzaghe fights mate. :twisted:
Change the contents? I quoted what you said! Which round of Calzaghe - Lacy was it where Lacy was 'stopped prematurely' in your version of the fight?
Well, Joe has a chance during Pavlik/Lockett to remember he has been calling out Pavlik. Let's see if the amnesia continues.
Hopkins held a belt that required no mandatories to defend. That makes him "the man at lightheavy"?:-(
And looked it I might add. And he was in the ring with a man that looked like he really didn't want to be there, IMHO. :yep
