    What is this? Some sort of Calzaghe bashing exercise? I notice too many of these. You need to stop hating. Boxing isn't solely based on power. If that was the case then you would see the p4p 10 consisting of people we consider to be journeymen.

    It is because Calzaghe knocked down so many of his opponents 3x in one round with his jab, so they were TKO'd before he even had a chance to follow up with the concussive left.

    It's yet another example of the unfairness Joe has to endure in his quest for challenging opposition. He probably should have taken up Japaneese shootfighting whilst wearing his boxing gloves, but again, loads of wins with just the jab.

    How do you think he would fair against three lions?

    To be fair, it's pushing it to call him a real established boxing name.

    Having said that he doesn't have a single KO to his name, first one I've seen I think from a belt holder.

    Just pure coincidence that he's from the same stable...perhaps.

    We are talking dozens of serious injuries here, the sport would have been banned in the UK by now had the referees become curious about what Calzaghe was capable of doing to a dazed opponent.

    Not coincidence. He's just not all that good.

    It would quickly become Joe Calzaghe and two lions vs the one lion after two of them switched sides to try and save themselves.

    In response to his dominant alpha maleness? I could see that.

    Hopkins could never win. It was impossible, even with the miracle of biblical proportions, where he pushed Calzaghe down in the first round, he failed. The worst performance of Calzaghe's career in years and he failed.

    Joe wasn't even Hitting him when the ref called it off in the Manfredo fight. Manfredo was ducking the punches. I'm not saying Mafredo would ever have won but...

    Hopkins should be made to strangle himself for even daring to step into the ring with Joe.

    Tim Witherspoon called it correctly.. "He just didn't want to fight..."

    That stoppage is strange to say the least. Joe's combinations were very powder puff, i think that's why Manfredo was just rolling with the punches but he did need to throw more.
