.................pretty obvious to any boxing fan that it has been much more than that tired mantra that has been Hopkins keys through career..
If you really think about it, without the dirty tactics, Taylor and Wright would've schooled Hopkins, in the same manner that Joe almost schooled him, if not for the frigging ref, who might as well have said, "We love you Nard, you're the best fighter in the world, it's a pleasure to referee your fight, I am not worthy".
Ok Honestly........Thats just super sized ignorance there.The thing that could make Calzaghe better is that HE was the one in school here..Not Hopkins.This was his training ground and "Proof test",and he adjusted well.The shit ref hurt BOTH guys.If you deny that Hopkins credentials and respect was undeserved and non-existent,,regardless of your personal preference ,you are a biased fan-boy caught up in the moment....
