Maybe that's because he isn't fighting the Karby Salems and the Mario Veit's of the world anymore.:huh Just a thought.
All boxers' greatness is contingent on the wins of their opponents. If Trinidad had never beaten anyone significant, people wouldn't regard Hopkins's win over him as significant.
Or maybe it's because he is old and has a difficult style for an old boxer to maintain. Nah, best bash with ignorance of the facts, right?
****, don't attempt to insult me - and don't attempt to make any statements. You're a ****ing moron, *****. Honestly. Those familiar with me know I'd waste me time trying to argue with a genuine threat, you, you're just a cum drinking Calzaghe fan stinky shithole. Get real.
Why wouldn't I know? Hopkins' arms weren't moving were they? He LET Calzaghe live. Let's see if Calzaghe is willing to face a 44 year old Hopkins after Jones - if he can get that win. I ****ING DOUBT IT, QUITE HONESTLY.
Ok but that is what Trinidad did BEFORE the Hopkins fight. Calzaghe nuthuggers are judging his "legacy" on what Hopkins is doing AFTER there fight. Styles make fights people. Pavlik couldn't take advantage of Hopkins' age by pressing him and throwing more punches and tiring Hopkins out like Calzaghe did. Hopkins was just to big and strong and hit to hard for Pavlik to come in wild like Calzaghe did and Pavlik just isn't as fast as Calzaghe and would rather take a beating then resort to throwing girly slaps. 43 year old past his prime Hopkins won 6 rounds vs Calzaghe and dropped him and thus he won the fight. Lets not forget that even tho Calzaghe stepped up to fight Hopkins, Hopkins was a Middleweight his entire career and Calzaghe a 168 pounder. Calzaghe is the naturally bigger man. Hopkins>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Calzaghe
During that same period Hopkins was fighting Robert Allen and Morrade Hakker. Roy Jones has had more than his fair share of gimme mandetory defences too. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Anyone whose paid any real attention to the career of Joe Calzaghe can see quite clearly that his overall ability has eroded some way, irrespective of the opponent.
In answer to the question posed in the thread title....He is still a ducking, ***** slapping, sheep shagging, waste of glove leather, six toed, inbred hobbit :deal
What facts??? The fact that he is fighting top 5 opponents and not looking as great as he did against euro bums??? Those facts???
