    Ali does it & he's a legend. RJJ does it and he's superman. Hopkins showboats over Pavlik and he's a great but Joe does it and he's ridiculed?

    It's litttle wonder America is so isolated & hated. Most American's can't find the country on the world map it's so insular how can we expect them to be impartially objective on matters like this?

    Stop whining about it being a nationalistic thing. It's because Calzaghe looks foolish doing it.

    Hopkins, likewise, looked pretty damn stupid when he was messing around and smiling against Taylor.

    Nah, Calzaghe does it anyway. Like against Bika at the end of a round when he slipped some punches, or when Hopkins went down from that low blow that seemed like a tap, and Calzaghe did a little dance in back of Hopkins, like he was sodomizing him.

    Showboating generally looks kind of corny to me. Calzaghe is no exception.

    Joe was doing the same thing to clinton woods, maybe joe was getting revenge,,,an it might look goofy to you guys, but if that you getting your ass beat, it pretty embarresing,,,,,,i honestly thought when joe doggy styled bernard hopkins, that was funny as hell, more then likly it gave hopkins jail house flash backs

    American boxing fans aren't as xenophobic as people like to think.

    Mayweather and DLH are like the most hated fighters in the sport. And one is retired, and the other rarely even fights.

    It was the first time I got to watch the Calzaghe-Jones fight and despite Calzaghe beating Jones with ease, Jones still landed shots on a regular basis and makes me wish this fight had happened a few years earlier.
