But what about those of us that scored the Hopkins/Calzaghe fight for Hopkins? So did several members of the media and press? If Joe can make it past Roy Jones - the rematch is in order. Hopkins already said he would go to Wales so it shouldn't be a problem.
I think Calzaghe beat Hopkins but I don't think that puts him higher on the ATG list. I like Hopkin's resume better.
I can only assume people who scored the fight for hopkins over Joe were American, hence had their vision obscured by pizza boxes, burger grease on the tv screen, and gallons of choco milk cluttering the TV set. Hence why anyone in shape saw Calzaghe clearly win.
i'm british and scored it to hopkins, you all watched the fight after going on a bender all night so you were pissed out of your head by the time the fight started at 4.00. all you could see was someone throwing slaps that hit thin air, but your drunken mind thought that was hopkins.
You should STFU. The only thing you do on here is bashing Euro fighters. You are nothing more than a troll.
roy jones and james toney were far better smw than calzgahe, anyway the smw division doesn't have the history that the middleweight divsion has, hopkins will be compared to the likes of hagler, hearns and leonard. calzaghe won't even be mentioned in the same sentence as them legends.
im a british fan of calzaghe..and i though hopkins edged the fight..sure joes work rate was higher, but hopkins punches were more effective....close fight, but i thought b.hop edged it......still, prospect of a cracking rematch.... question....???..how does the rematch go if hopkins tries to fight in his new found 'aggressive' style.....
Jones was better, Toney was argzable better, yeah, but not greater. They lack the legacy Joe C. has there. Even Ottke is a greater smw than those two.
I'm British and scored the fight to Hopkins too. It seems you are wrong and I think you owe an apollogy to the Americans on here
well lets hope there is a rematch, vs the richardson miami based hopkins and the hopkins who just wants to KTFO of people now, or will joe take the controversial SD and still claim to be the legend killer??
Exactly, Hopkins defeated: Trinidad, De La Hoya, Tarver, Wright & Pavlik. Calzaghe defeated: Lacy, Kessler & Hopkins I will go with Hopkins resume anyday, hes an ATG in my books and last night proved to me. by the way im from P.R. and a Trinidad fan, but the guy is just a heck of an athlete.:good
Hey dumpling your hero had his opportunity against JC and he like 44 others failed. The only reason Lennox Lewis beat Tyson was he levelled him with a right hand. :hi:
