    Explain why Hopkins refused the match in 2002, he clearly ran from a career payday. Ducked Joe in the process.

    Joe fought his share of HOFS. And beat them all.

    Hopkins is known for being hard to negotiate with.. I can't really comment on that I am not sure how that all went down. I know he ducked the second fight with Jones in 02 as well. I would have favored 02 Hopkins to beat Joe for sure though.

    And again, how many of those HOFS were at their best when Calzaghe beat them?

    Obviously Hopkins didn't feel the same way. He knew he was going to lose, and ducked the match. AND....

    Is there anybody you don't favor vs Joe? Jesus Christ.

    Hopkins is still doing great things to this day, on a huge winning streak (minus the dawson fights). And you still can't give Joe his props.

    Props beat the undefeated American Lacy whom everyone said was going to be the next big thing in America

    Calzaghe stopped that hype and suddenly "Lacy sucks."

    He beat the undefeated Kessler WHOM is Ward's biggest victory mind you.

    At this moment, Calzaghe's resume trumps Ward's and I'm a MAJOR Ward fan.

    :patsch

    Lacy was exposed in his fight with Sheika ,anyone with half a brain knew that Lacy couldnt box worth a **** . Only people who listened to the likes of Kellerman thought he would steam roll through Calzaghe ..

    Wrong and utterly wrong

    Most American journalists had Calzaghe the overwhelming UNDERDOG, the odds were stacked vs him. Even the Brits/Welshmen had Calzaghe an underdog.

    MVC is a troll guys. You can make the most sensical post to him, and he'll just ignore it, choosing to instead go down his 'list' of things to say.

    You're statting FACT? As in sungular? :lol: Sorry kiddo, we both know you aren't serious about he crap you post. You just found another undefeated fighter with nuts to cling to so you can post cliched things like "there's no blueprint". You aren't serious about any of this ****.

    BTW, I think Floyd posted a pic of his abs somewhere on the net. Maybe you better go start a thread on them. That's more the level of your expertise. :roll:

    Nope. Been a Calzaghe fan for ages now and a huge fan of Leonard/Robinson (Fighters whom have been beaten) so you have no idea what you're talking about. :patsch

    Yeah man you're so serious about the crap you post about Floyd. "Floyd has no great victories"










    :dead

    **** on outta here. 9 years and you still know **** all about boxing.

    Yeah taking the dodge route.

    Avoiding facts.

    Keep hating on Calzaghe man. He's more successful than you will ever be.

    There are a number of reasons why Calzaghe is ESB's favourite son

    All roads always lead to Joe Calzaghe, every major victory in boxing leads back to Joe, he is top of the ESB food chain (much like the Team Elite Corporation), he is 46 and 0 - there was never a blueprint to beat the man and there never will be. Silly billy haterz are always gonna hate.

    Its clear that the majority of haterz on esb are blinkered fanboys of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney, gullable fans who grew up believing the delusional brainwashing that HBO and Ring magazine forced down their throats on how great their idol is, they clearly lost touch on reality and when Calzaghe despatched their idols in their own backyard, they cling to every excuse in the book, crying like little bitches with sand in their vagina's.

    When the likes of Jones and Toney were scared to fight off a level playing field, juiced to the gills, Calzaghe was busy training harder as a clean athlete

    When Hopkins and Jones were cleaning out the terribly weak 160 and 175 divisions infront of gullable, blinkered HBO audiences, Calzaghe was cleaning out a far superior 168 division.

    When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were busy being clowned by mediocre fighters like Tiberi, sanderline Williams, Thadzi, Mercado, Jermain Taylor, Tarver, and Glen Johnson etc, Calzaghe was busy showing remarkable consistency

    When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were showing zero adaptability against the likes of Tarver, Taylor, and Tiberi etc, Calzaghe was showing supreme adaptability against the likes of Robin Reid and Kessler

    When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were folding like lawn chairs when faced with adversity, Calzaghe was getting up at the count of 2 and immediately facing fire with fire, no holding, just rising to the occasion in the heat of the battle when it mattered most.

    When the likes of Jones, Hopkins, and Foney were busy trash talking and insulting opponents with shear arrogance and racism, Calzaghe remained down to earth, true to his roots and showed respect for all opponents.

    When the likes of Hopkins were stinking the arena's out, feigning injuries and trying to rob fight fans of their hard earned money by getting bouts called off mid-fight, Calzaghe was busy trying to put a show on for the fans, wanting to have a tare up with every opponent.

    When Jones, Hopkins, and Toney were fighting in their backyard, Calzaghe was wanting to fight Hopkins in 2002 on foreign soil only for the cowardly Hopkins to be turning down a record payday.

    When the dust was settled at 175 and Hopkins was the king of the division, Calzaghe moved up weight, and despite fighting on foreign soil, with corrupt judges, and the corrupt Joe Cortez refereeing, Calzaghe simultaneously became the main man at 168 and 175 by literallty butt-****ing racist crybaby Hopkins in his own backyard sandwiched inbetween the most impressive winning streak of Hopkins entire career.

    When Jones was granted the opportunity to fight the new king at 175, many experts throughout the world of boxing predicted that Jones would beat Calzaghe due to Joes fragile hands not having sufficient power to further shatter Roys glass jaw. What we got instead was a boxing exhibition from Calzaghe, clearly demonstrating a far superior skillset.

    When Jones and Toney continue boxing to this day, mumbling in their speech and not having a pot to **** in, Calzaghe is happily retired, a wealthy man with all his faculties in tact.

    Lets be honest, there is so much to hate, the bitterness, the envy, the jealousy of fanboys trying to throw stones at their idol's master because no one was ever good enough to do their talking in the ring with Joe Calzaghe.

    Delusional haterz are gonna hate but the facts will never ever change. Team Elite will continue to educate blinkered fanboys, all roads will always lead to Joe Calzaghe.

    :lol: Someone like you saying someone else knows **** all about boxing means nothing little kid. You might as well just call me the worst poster here, or is that next on your list of things to say?

    You've made some of the lamest threads around. You said Victor Ortiz would beat Duran, didn't you? :rofl

    You're a ****in troll. Even most floyd fanboys seem to realize that.

    Quoting headbanger now? :lol::lol: Wow....you are desperate. You're also pretty much admitting to being nothing but a troll, as is headbanger. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if you were a failey alt. But one thing is certain, you are an ALT account poster. that much is obvious. Makes you a typical coward too. :thumbsup
