    I'm surprised he knows any other boxers besides Calzaghe. The pricks been on here all day trolling. I wouldn't mind it but nothing he says is mildly interesting.

    Agreed, he is currently ranked 9 ATG Heavyweight on my list, and a prime Tyson would put him to sleep in under 6 rounds.

    So, tell me please. How old is Calzaghe's next opponent?
     
  4. There's no reason for such harsh language. Joe is better than your man, you should not take these issues so personally.

    Rahman & McCall really went on set the world on fire while losing the 2nd fight to Holyfield is laughable.

    Odds on prime Tyson would have done a Bruno on him too and Tyson isn't that good, just a pressure fighter. Unlike the greats Lewis wasn't good at negating his foes offence just imposing his own on them - the rest was down to speed and power both of which he had.
     
  5. Oh I agree. But it's Hopkins who long done the running - not Joe. This is simply a name on his record for Joe and a stepping stone for greater things.

    Amusingly many still believe Hopkins has a chance though, go take a read of some threads.

    The fact that he seemingly wussed out of the Vitali rematch will always hurt his legacy in the minds of many.

    You are the first person I have directed such language at because I am tired of seeing your boring, repetitive posts all over the forum. Someone starts a thread & you chime in with a congratulatory remark with no rationale. You are not a boxing fan, it's obvious. You tried joining in the Lennox thread but made a **** of yourself because you clearly know very little about him.

    Don't venture outside your pathetic little realm of Calzaghe back slapping because you will get owned. Hopkins' career eclipses Calzaghe's. He fought a faded Eubank for the WBO strap & defended it against average fighters. Hopkins won the undisputed middleweight crown by knocking out Felix Trinidad. Hopkins will decision Joe & you will dissappear because you will have nothing left to say.

    Good post, we might not agree on everything, but at least you give valid points in your arguements. MasterCalzaghe is one of the worst posters I have ever seen, his reply to everything is Calzaghe is more superior boxer, or he's so amazing. I hope your post knocks some sense into him, because he's clearly a delusional Calzaghe nuthugger.:good

    It certainly shows, at least China hand Joe would back up what he says with factual infromation, this guy doesnt even do that. Its one thing to be a nuthugger, but it's another thing to be a nuthugger and not know **** about the fighter your promoting.:yep

  12. Joe was young and had never gone 12 rounds before, Eubank was far from faded while knocking out a smaller trinidad means nothing.

    I think Lewis' apparent dominance of a very weak division is clouding judgement.

    Trinidad was favourite at the time. Hopkins became undisputed champ then stepped up to beat the universally recognised light heavy champ. Meanwhile Joe talked about stepping up but kept making WBO defences against the likes of Tocker Pudwill & Mario Veit. In the year Hopkins fought DLH, Joe fought Mger Mkrtchian & got floored by Kabary Salem.

    You know nothing & we're all bored of your sad one liners. Now **** off back to the Calzaghe fan site. You'll be much happier there where you can have your group masturbation sessions over pictures of Joe wearing his WBO belt.

    It is not so much these defeats that worried me although they do detract from his record, but he did defeat Rahamn easily enough in the rematch although the McCall rematch was a bit of a debacle. He let himself be dominated by Bruno for much of their fight, the same Bruno who Tyson destroyed twice. He could not dominate Ray Mercer (Which a well past his prime Larry Holmes did easily, and made Mercer look stupid along the way) . He should have definitely fought a rematch with Klitschko, shying away from this fight lost him bit of respect from me aswell. Also a fighter of his calibre should not be fighting the Justin Fortunes of this world or dance with the AKinwande's (Oliver McCall showed us what to do with the Akinwande's of the world). No way should Phil Jackson have lasted 8 rounds

    Coming from someone who thinks Calzaghe is P4P better than Lewis on the strength of Joe NOT dominating an extremely weak division that's ****ing hilarious.

    Lennox Lewis was 10x the fighter Calzaghe ever will be.
