Joe Calzaghe vs Sergey Kovalev

jeez, the racism is not in calling Calzahe white it is saying he will never let a white boy beat him. flip the colors and it may be clearer. he spewed racial nonsense. not necessary. the guy is an atg but an idiot. don't mean any offense to idiots.

 

:deal

Ask him if he thinks Margarito is a cheater.:rofl

I didn't think he could possibly hate anyone more than he hates Mayweather and Jones Jr until I read one of his Calzaghe rants.

 

Yet it was Hopkins who backed out of facing Calzaghe and yet you forget the Hakkar occasion was only one time, when there were other times. Remember also how Hopkins considered a move up to SMW to face B Mitchell also.
Dont know how you dont think Calzaghe couldnt legitimately beat Hopkins, as he has done, at a weight, location and situation that suited Hopkins, forcing Hopkins to hang on and look for time out

 

Why are you going on about a rematch? Who would have wanted to see Hopkins looking for time out and holding to survive again, or walking to the wrong corner like he was?
The fight was in America, the country Calzaghe agreed to face Hopkins in years previously before Hopkins had a change of opinion and Calzaghe won. It was after Calzaghe beat Hopkins that members of Hopkins team mentioned retirement due to the way he lost

 

Bailey do you ever comment on threads that doesn't involve Calzaghe or Froch? :think

 

Gotta laugh at the rants here. As I have said before I was at the Calzaghe Hopkins fight and it was not a good night for Slopkins. Calzaghe was and probably always will be the best super middleweight champion to come from the UK. He wasn't a knock out puncher and that's why people didn't take to him. If he could knock people out then maybe he would have got the recognition he deserved. He left boxing with a lifestyle every boxer dreams of. A multiple world champion with millions in the bank and a super hot girlfriend. He wasn't punch drunk or suffering from any long term injuries. Life is good in the Calzaghe camp. It's just a shame more Americans can't embrace him as a boxer for the talent he had instead of hating all the time. But then I guess the trolls would be able to function during the day without abusing someone.

 

Wouldn't

 

:rofl

Merry Xmas to you too pal! I hope you have a good one.:good

 

I honestly thought he was done too... And I was sure Pavlik would finish him off for good.

That was pretty far from the truth though.:yep

 

All the time

 

Indeed. Had Hopkins retired after the Calzahe loss, im sure many would have said it was the end of his career and he had faded badly blah blah blah. But we know that was not the case following some good wins and just that Calzaghe was able to beat him

 

Absolutely.

What Hopkins was able to do after losing to Calzaghe really helps validate the victory. Of course you will always have the naysayers like CJ who is clearly butt hurt Calzaghe beat Hopkins to the point of not wanting to count Calzaghe's landed punches.

 

It wasn't a pretty fight Calzaghe-Hopkins, but I must say, It was very impressive Calzaghe was able to dig himself out of an early hole.. I gave the first 3 rounds to Hopkins plus the knockdown.. Joe was fighting in America for the first time, I think plenty of fighters would have folded in that situation, but Joe nearly ran the table for the rest of the fight... It really says a lot about the kind of fighter Joe was.
