What does Hopkins has to do to be ranked above Joe Calzaghe?

Do you mean Calslappy?

 

this is true i had nard winning

 

Wow, close poll . . . lol

 

What are you talking about?
It's not close at all.
I would even call it a landslide.
Seriously what the hell is wrong with...
Ooooooh you're being sarcastic

 

its a lot closer than it should be:deal

 

In his physical prime (mid to late 90s) he could have definitively finished Joe well under the distance as he is obviously the superior fighter, but

Hop will never outmatch Calz in wikipedia immortality where a children's game bears his stamp .....








Red Hands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Red Hands, also known as hot hands, slapsies, slaps, or simply the hand-slap game,[1] is a children's game which can be played by two players.
One player (the slappee) places his hands palm down, hovering above the other player's (slapper) hands. The other player hovers his hands below the first, palms up. The two players' hands should be barely touching each other, and all the hands should be around mid-torso height.


The slapper is on offense, and attempts to bring his hands over to slap the backsides of his opponent's hands. This must be done with sufficient speed, because the slappee's goal is to pull his hand away, and out of the area where the hands overlap, to avoid the slap. If the slappee completely avoids all hand contact with the slapper during the slap, then the roles switch. However, the slappee cannot flinch too much. If slapper acts as if slapping (but does not ever bring his hand over) and the slappee flinches and moves his hands far enough from the slapper's hands so that their hands are no longer overlapping, then the slapper gets a free hit at one of the slappee's hands. If the slapper slaps the slappee's hands once his hands have left the overlapping area, the slappee gets a free hit at one of the slapper's hands, and the roles switch as if the slapper had missed.

[edit] Notes

1. ^ Also known as the Calzaghe game, kid's Calzlappy, or washer woman's wallop after ex-professional boxer Joseph William Calzaghe - twenty-one time defender of the unprestigious nondescript WBO trinket in the historically irrelevant super middleweight "Sven Ottke" era.

Bump

I think we have to view all of Hopkins career now in that

This content is protected

times he couldnt beat the opponent in front of him and couldnt beat Mercado, Pascal, Jones or Allen at first ask. Hopkins was on ***** street against Mercado.
We also need to take into account the time out for injury acts, something Calzaghe never had to do in fights when viewing greatness.

Off the top of my head I can recall -
1. Hopkins not being able to continue against R Allen for a NC
2. Hopkins lying on the floor for a while against A Echoles
3. Hopkins trying to fake injury to get time out against J Calzaghe
4. Hopkins lying on the floor pretending Jones Jnrs punch was behind the head.

Now we have a similar scenario with Dawson.


I dont think Hopkins has any wins as good as Eubank or undefeated Kessler where Calzaghe has those and a win over Hopkins. We can agree to disagree but look at the whole story and those 9 times Hopkins couldnt win and to who before you make a final judgement.


This thread suddenly seems dead after last nights debacle atsch

 

Hopkins has always ranked above Calzaghe. I still affirm this today, October 16th 2011.

 

Hopkins is literally light years ahead of Calzaghe, and I also have him ranked above Jones.

 

Based on what? Being an old world champ?
Hopkins doesnt have better wins, so based on what?

 

atsch

 

So you cant answer then :-(.
Well lets make it easy for you. What wins does Hopkins have as good as undefeated Kessler or Eubank. Calzaghe has both and a win over Hopkins.

Dont try and make a fool out of yourself by saying something silly like Trinidad, because although Trinidad was a great fighter, he was a former WW who had been put down 7 times that I know of and looked lucky against De La Hoya. How did Trinidad perform at MW or above? Not as well as in his natural weight class. When you consider Hopkins turned pro as a CW, beating a WW doesnt sound that great.
I think Hopkins best win could be Tarver, which says it all

 

Eubank that lost 2 times to Steve Collins and Joe beat him wow amazing Joe is goat
Kessler very good win at least someone good in prime.
Poll results tell you what fans think, well i see you cant deal with it :yep
