Now Taylor has been beaten...will Americans accept Hopkins is nothing special now?

Pac would have been just as skilled a boxer, if he had fought the same guys in Phillipines. Or even some less known, but still skilled boxers.

I agree that the situations are different - and personally I wouldn't rate Calzaghe meeting Hopkins of today very highly. The wide world will give him tons of credit for removing Hopkins, but I wouldn't. Bernard is great for his age, but thats as far as it goes.

Overall, I totally agree with your post - wish more thought of it like that.

 

So Taylor is rubbish? I guess you believe that because he gotten beaten another American fighter.

It all fits nicely with your pathetic, single minded agenda of Calzaghe drivel. No balanced assessment, over-the-top, ananlysis that always ends with positioning Calzaghe as the greatest fighter that has ever lived.

 

I tell you what, China_hand_Joe, if Joe comes to perform against Taylor or Pavlik like Herbie Hide did with Riddick Bowe and that's not entirely out of the possibilities, you gonna have to do a lot of homework so that you can come to face all the members you are assaulting with this thread now, I feel you are not too sure about Joe Calzaghe's so called-many advantages over the american brothers or else you wouldn't underrate the best fighters on Uncle Sam's Territory to promote a classy but still somehow untested Welsh fighter at the highest level...

 

Pavlik would beat the **** out of Kessler.
