Wlad Klitschko is the number one heavyweight on the planet and recently avenged his loss to Brewster. How is he a bum?
Nonesense! The Brotha' would have to take a lot of remedial classes, get therapy and such, before he could work his way up to ****** status.
Actually, it was Bernard who came across as a bit of a ****. And a Twat. And if he calls Joe out, but won't sign, then a ***** too. But all that stuff was just for dimwits like yourself. The real point was to drum up interest in an otherwise uninteresting fight where an unbeaten champion near the top of his game, fights a former legend who is well past his best. And it helps that one's black and the other's white. (Holmes/Cooney, Duran/Leonard, Hagler/Minter, Pavlik/Taylor etc) Somewhere down the road, these guys will cash in on a mega $$$$$$$$ bout.
What are you on? He just sounded like a loud mouth crack head, he didn't say anything particularly cutting
I picked Floyd to beat Ricky, and I am picking Calzaghe to beat Hopkins. Calzaghe is faster, he uses very awkward angles, activity and lateral movement to frustrate his opposition. Calzaghe decisively beat his "Taylor" in Kessler, and that is a huge dis to Kessler as he is much much better than Jermain, Hopkins win, lose or draw did not do well vs. Jermain (and I thought Hopkins won the first fight). The truth is that this isn't straight forward Winky Wright or one shot Tarver, this is a man (Calzaghe) who has beat a comparable level of opposition to Hopkins, is younger, faster and more active and every bit as good technically.
I KNOW!! For crying out loud, he's about the exact OPPOSITE of an Uncle Tom!!! atsch No boxer has stood up to the boxing establishment more than Bernard Hopkins. He doesn't take **** from any of those exploiters.
Kessler would stop Hopkins in less than ten rounds. Hopkins does not have the movement to avoid Kessler's power, like Calzaghe did.
Actually Haye would lose to Wlodarzcyzk, Houck, and Maccarenelli. He is also going to move to Heavyweight, where he will be crushed by most of the Eastern Euros. Dawson and Hopkins would lose to Dianouc, Erdei, and possibly Woods.
I like both Hopkins and Calzaghe. Yes Hopkins is old and I'd bet my house he'll lose to Calzaghe, but at least he's fighting Calzaghe. If he wins, it will certainly be a great feat. If he loses, then he will probably retire for good. Either way, I will be watching and I think more fighters should follow Hopkins example, he didn't have to take this fight at all and could've just fought some tomato can instead.
He looked more pissed and angry to me. Calzaghe has a way of winding people up. Have to say I was really upset at Hopkins remarks (espcially as he kept repeating them), but more from a race point of view than a nationalistis one. But I'll give Hopkins the benefit of the doubt and say he just panicked because Joe wound him up so much.
He also lost to Roy, and Tarver is a serious one and done. He only wanted to beat Roy, he has looked mediocre since then.
People who base their picks on race are ****ing idiots. Hopkins is no idiot and he's no racist either. Its a great fight! can't wait.
