And then Calzaghe bullying Hopkins in the final three rounds and treating Hopkins with the utmost contempt by dry-humping him. Ol' Hops was looking for time outs and breathers for most of the 10th, 11th and 12th rounds. I'm fairly sure he tried to pull a similar stunt against Chad Dawson in their first fight (and in the immediate aftermath thereof).
He was a bully who was being bullied in those final three rounds by Calzaghe, and was looking for deals and favours from the referee as his blatant attempt to stall, break up Calzaghe's onslaught and redress the balance.
Calz was not superior! Calz beat Kessler, which was his best win by far. Ward whooped Kessler too and few guys that we're head and shoulders above every body else Calz whooped. Facts are facts, revisionist history will get you nowhere. Just except it and move on like Kovalev did after Ward beat him too! Lol
Calzaghe was a better SMW. Fact. Calzaghe beat Kessler by outboxing him legitimately. Ward beat him by disgracefully headbutting him over and over again, a neutral ref would have DQ'd him. What revisionist history? Do you need to see the video evidence of Ward blatantly headbutting him over and over again without penalty? That fight was an absolute disgrace. Ward does not have a deeper SMW resume than Calzaghe.... Barring Froch who was bested by Kessler his best wins are shared by Calzaghe who also has several years of defenses(a lot of them solid) to triumph Ward's super 6 run.
Yes, I agree. Calzaghe was a very special fighter, SOB is nothing but a damned cheat! This content is protected
Yeah he sure did! But he wasn't counting on Calzaghe making the fight his own and adjusting. He beat Hopkins at what he's best at.
Teah he was so sure he won that he gave up a big $$$ rematch in Wales , dumped his long time G/F & hit the coke. booze & hooker scene S0me TBE huh ????
a lot of boxers go off the rails... What the hell are you going on about? Get over it man... Been a decade. Calzaghe was the better man.
Going out the way he did, shooting the finger to his loyal Welsh fans shows me that Slappy was NOT a MAN but a
There were a few butts involved in the Kessler ass whoopin, I can't deny that, but the outcome would have been the same regardless. Ward>Kessler and Cazaghe, fact. 50 years from now people will know about Ward's career thoughtout the world , Calzaghe will only be spoken about in run down, dank pubs in his home town in Wales.
Absolutely disgraceful performance. Definitely leaves an asterisk next to the W. Nobody cares about Ward now... Who says they will in 50 years?
Calzaghe's onslaught ???? ROFL slapping like a little girl, maybe that humping showed Josie's true calling
