    Its usually always the ones that say "Move on" "Get ova it" are the most bothered by it because they know its the truth

    Is that why you have a picture of a woman in your avatar, so as to prove to yourself you like women.

    Exactly ^^^ My thoughts i have Hopkins between 20-25 and Calzaghe just makes the top 100 (maybe).

    Very strange... Eubank was very defensive, extremely good reflexes, extremely good lateral movement, extremely good ring generalship. He was almost always out of punching range, that was his positioning - very defensive. Hardly ever got hit with two on the spin, apart from when he stood his ground up-close against Watson (II fight) and Calzaghe - fighters who countered in combinations.

    You're absolutely right champ!

    There is no way in hell Eubanks gets past the 10th round with a prime Hopkins, and loses by UD to an old past prime Hopkins.:good
    Eubanks was always a good fighter, but far below the elite level and would lose to any other the era's elite. LOL, you see how he started crying when Toney talked about his Mum. :rofl

    Also, would Calzaghe have lost to Mitchell, Taylor x2, and drawn with Mercado? Hell no.

    Hopkins jumped two divisions after he was past 40 to face the linear undisputed light heavyweight champion.

    Calzaghe spent his entire career under frank warrens skirt to avoid fighting any light heavyweight champion, a mere 1 division up.

    Yey Eubank looked like he wanted to cry:lol::lol: That was some classic Toney trash talk:lol:..... But id have to say even though i think Hopkins (anyversion) convincingly beats Eubank.... Eubank had a super chin and if him and Hopkins fought 3 times hed last the distance every time, even against a prime Hopkins..... However he loses every fight.

    The only. Thing Hopkins won in that fight was Oscar for best actor in the low blow category.

    Get over it. He lost.

    I am so angry that Hopkins lost to Calzaghe. It isn't fair that he isn't as good. I hate Calzaghe because he beat my hero. And, to make matters worse he boinked him in the rear end when Berny turned away. That was so gross!!!

    So what if Calzaghe was undefeated? So what if Calzaghe came over to America when he was old and brittle and made Hopkins look like a fool? Hopkins could have gone over to England but he didn't because he is too proud! Yes, that is right! Too proud.

    And, Hopkins is not a racist! So what if he says racist stuff? That doesn't make him a racist does it?

    And lastly, just because that ******* Calzaghe isn't an American and he isn't black, he is not a top fighter! Don't like that? Tough, that is how I roll.
