Thread: Shut up Calzaghe... Bernard Hopkins

Funny that bernard is still dying inside because Joe shut him up in the ring.

This is all just a war of words from two big mouths.
I hope this shit doesn't become front page news

Yeah, because Joe just gave him a shut a one-sided beatdown ?

He did. hopkins try to downplay the beating by saying that he was slapping but then how is it that he was supposedly hurt so badly by the (fake) low blow?

He was doing more than enough damage on hopkins in that fight otherwise, he wouldn't have had to fake twice and he definitely looked spent in late stages. He couldn't do much more than what he did under the circumstances. He had to block 2 fists and a head so he had to be very careful and still put it on hopkins.

Not to mention all the low blows and illegal punches hopkins threw in that fight that he wasn't even penalized for. That fight wasn't even close after 4.

If I'm Joe I would never rematch that dirty bastid either and just let him have to eat those words (I'll never let a white boy beat me!). FOREVERRRRR!!!!

Its not good to hear Joe talk bad about boxing but he is right about Oscar . Is Nard denying that Oscar hasnt been a part time fighter ? I think Nards still upset he got thrashed by a white boy

On a different note I think these comments didnt help him in the sports personality last night neither did the arrogance he displayed in the Jones fight however he beats two of Americas greatest ever fighters this year . No athlete apart from Lewis has ever done summat that big b4 so i think Joe was robbed.

The saddest part is,Joe is just trying to make up for lost time with statements like this.
But dude,you chose to stay with Warren
You chose to take one chump after another
If your the symbol of the problem,your not allowed to bitch about it after the fact.
It would be like me tossing my trash out on the river bank,and then complaining about all the pollution

Calzaghe helped create this mess by being one of the fighters to pave the way for a fourth title belt(the WBO).

“America only had one medalist in the Olympics this year," Calzaghe said.

Please ANYONE explain how that was taking a "shot" at boxing in the States? It's a fucking FACT!!! Fact.

Its not taking a shot at anyone, just a guy speaking some truth ...But it's irrelevant because some quarters will always give JC a kicking ... just as sure as night follows day

Ok I'm not disputin da US medal haul, & I don't see how his statement is takin a shot, but Joe has been kinda classless this year. He still ranks inside my top 10 favourite boxers, but he used to be 2nd after PBF. This year a lot of his behaviour has kinda put me off him & I'm clearly not the only one. I don't agree with most of the shit he gets off people, but the fact is despite that 0, i don't think his 'legacy' will compare well with that of Lewis & Hatton, & big chunk of this is his inability to win over fans & make competitive fights for much of his career, because for me he is the most technically gifted boxer of the 3.

It wasn't even close, but one judge gave it to Hopkins and another scored it 7 rounds to 5. You make me laugh.
