Listen I am not a Calslappy fan,I don't like his horrible ugly slapping style and I agree a prime Jones would more than likely have beaten him in my opinion but I satnd by what I said about the fans!
you've hit the nail on the head :deal fact is, prime for prime there aint none of them that could have beat calzaghe (jones, hopkins, toney). get over it america, you are fast becoming a 2nd rate boxing nation.
Calzaghe ruined ''the mini Tyson'' Lacy, thats why! Dont lie punk, I know you had him to beat Joe 3 years ago, dont ****ing lie!
i dont like to rain on joes parade, but when they act like it was a prime jones or the best they seen you can help but to react in a shity way.the man was gun shy, let joe taunt and flurry and did not even throw a punch back.i remeber in jones vs tarver 3 when i sayed he was shot he atleast did **** like this....

Because they remember all the hype the Yanks were coming out with before Lacy was destroyed by Calzaghe.
You are the one who cherry pick aspects of reality that fits your distorted world view. And ignore facts. Hopkins is not past his prime. How can he be when he treats Pavlik like he did. According to himself it was the best performance of his life. What did he say..."better than Oscar, better than Tarver" He was better against Pavlik than he was against Taylor. Hopkins is a freak when it comes to age and taking care of himself. Hopkins did not grow younger in the time between Calzaghe and Pavlik. Some of his disciples say ...."arh he just looked old" Well he didnt look old against Pavlik And Jones is not shot. He is over the hill. but still only 3 years and 2 months and 1 week older than Joe.
no ones saying it was a prime jones, he was far from it. but the fact is joe showed he is a great fighter. AGAIN . when are people gonna admit that one simple truth ?
