I'm someone that loves a technical fighter. I love a counter puncher that makes guys miss and lands the crisper shots. I hate the way Calzaghe slaps...it has me ****ed how he is undefeated, even though he hasn't fought many great fighters. He missed so many shots it was ridiculous. Bernard landed some good shots. I wanted Hopkins to expose Calzaghe. Yes, many of Calzaghe's shots were messy and weak, Hopkins were strong but he simply didn't do enough. NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY THERE'S NO WAY HOPKINS WON THIS FIGHT
I dunno. Hopkins is indeed past his prime but he's still a very good fighter and for him to fight at this level at age 43 is amazing.
No excuses, Calzaghe beat an old and weathered Bernard Hopkins fair and square.... BUT, CalSLAPPY isn't the great boxer he's made out to be. Alot of SLAPPING, short on technique.
Calzaghe won! congrats! it would have been likewise interesting if calzaghe fought Bhop 5 or 6 years ago! i wonder what was the results?!
I give HUGE props to Bernard. Nobody has made Joe C look like that ever. If I were Kessler, I would not be looking to fight Hopkins ever.
Calzaghe will never be as great as Hopkins. And I wouldn't expect assholes like Kellerman and Steward to know what it's like to get hit in the balls because they aint got none. The SLIGHTEST punch/ slap/ gust of wind on the nutz HURTS bad.
How can a fighter be allowed to win a fight for basically holding all night? Calzaghe came forward and landed more punches.
Hopkins is a bit delusional. His corner absolutely stunk and served him poorly. Look, Calzaghe won this pretty easily, thats the bottom line.
