at the end of the day... B-Hop top 25 ever ATG, Calzaghe barely top 100 (being generous, and most would disagree and put him outside top 100) sucks for for you slappy fanboys but that's it man, Hopkins a true legend and ATG that would've been great in any era.
The only way you can say Lacy at SprMW is more proven at then Tito at MW is because of Lacy's longevity there. Lacy doesn't have a single win at 168 that compares with Tito's win over Joppy. Anyway, Tito moving from 154 to 160 didn't render him ordinary, or no longer on the elite level. His destruction of Joppy, the #2MW at the time, kind of kills that suggestion. Funny thing, for all the posts on how American hyped Lacy, it's Joe C fans who seem to be doing that now.
of course his resume is lightyears better. by your theory vincent phillips is better all time than kostya tszyu. lol
I can make this easy for everyone. Calzaghe beat Hopkins, and earned the decision. AND Hopkins has a better resume by a country mile. That is all I've said from the start. I do think that Hopkins would have beaten Calzaghe had they clashed three or four years earlier but they didn't - so it doesn't really matter.
You got half of it right. Yes Calzaghe beat Hopkins, but Calzaghe also has a better resume, the I give Hopkins credit for how he is still doing at his age and stage in his career, which does score some points, just not enough overall
Hahaha, only delusional Cal nuthuggers on ESB believe Slappy Joe is greater than Hops. Popkins is completely right, history will prove you so wrong it's hilarious. And really; It's only a few Cal nuthuggers at that on here, but those few are extremely adamant and vocal about it. Their ass hurts all to hell every time they hear the name Hopkins because they know he's greater than Joey Slapz
Why would any Calzaghe fan worry about Hopkins? Every time Hopkins wins it adds to Joes greatness, for the fact that he beat Hopkins sandwiched between Hopkins best wins :smoke. It seems Hopkins fans are the ones who get hurt that Calzaghe beat Hopkins. People forget that Calzaghe made Hopkins look so bad and beaten that many in Hopkins team called for Hopkins to retire after losing to Calzaghe
Calzaghe has the style to spoil hopkins Imo both were past it when they fought, and the american ref favored bhop Bhop has the better legacy, but will always struggle with a skilled,swarming,tough fighter like calzaghe
