People that are calling Calzaghe overrated are the same ones on here...

1) a lot of people thought he lost
2) he promised to dominate and fell well short
3) it was a **** poor performance

 

the threads about calzaghe

 

because he can't box...he hides it by throwing thousands of slaps and few legitimate punches...Hopkins had the better of JC that fight, he was right to feel robbed, you could physically see that the apparant punches Calzaghe had landed hadn't had any kind of affect on Hopkins. He had every right to feel aggrieved. He fought the perfect defensive performance.

 

amen to that my man

 

wow... just..wow...you egg heads will never give the man credit ..

show me any sports writer or ALL these morons that thought hopkins won ..

 

1.He was outboxed and knocked down by a 43 year old who isn't known to be a power puncher until the old man gassed out.

 

Joe C is sort of like RJJ. Exceptional raw talent but once that goes, he has very little boxing skills that he can fall back on. He has no pop. What can he do once his exceptional stamina, reflexes, and footspeed diminishes somewhat?

 

Yes outboxed, until Hopkins gassed out.

Dan Rafael scored the fight for Hopkins as well

 

If Hopkins had the same stamina he had in round 1, he would've won an easy UD. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves. Hopkins didn't have the same precision in his punches as the fight wore on and that's due to his lack of stamina at age 43.

 

that man is a joke around here man ...

 

and 114-113 by one score card is hardly ****ing convincing ...

 

How dare you say that about "respected" columnist Dan Rafael!
