This discussion would have more meaning to it had Robin 'The Grim Reaper' Reid not already beaten Calzaghe![]()
The "Hopkins crew"? Oh no, bro.... don't lump me in with that bunch. Not a Hopkins fan by any stretch of the imagination (and not just 'cause he beat Tito).
I admire Hopkins' longevity in the sport, and everything he's accomplished. But by no means am I a Hopkins fan. I'm just commenting on the "flurry" by Calzaghe on Manfredo. You gotta admit..... there's a lot of slapping going on in there.

...and it was Calzaghe's 43rd fight!! LMAO..honestlyI rest my case, I really do. The fuck are you doing fighting Manfredo in your 43rd fight? 3 fights away from retirement..
The measure for me isn't how many casual fans thought Calzaghe won..it's easy to speak to the majority of Brits who will automatically have a bias towards a fellow Brit so your results are automatically skewed.
I'm talking if any of you are close to the boxing community. I promise you, the week after that fight I didn't hear one person say they thought that Calzaghe won that fight. From amateur boxers in Repton..from trainers to pro boxers. Nobody. They were all Brit's too. THAT to me is a much better and neutral measure of what happened in the fight.
The whole "well, 70% of the public thought he won" is a mute point anyway. He got the "W" JUST..and it was his greatest victory..a split decision over a 40-something Bhop. I rest my case..He sucks balls.

That post is utter bollox mate sorry, there isnt any point in trying to reply, honestly man read it back, there is no fact in there at all, read it back and tell me you dont sound bitter
Officially the only saddo who has had a girlfriend
I just read it back...Perhaps we are reading different posts..
It was his 43rd fight - FACT
Everybody I personally know in the boxing community thought Hopkins won - FACT
Brits will automatically be biased towards Brits, Mexicans towards Mexicans etc - FACT
It was his greatest victory - FACT (MAYBE you can make a case for Kessler being his best victory but that's just as bad)
The only thing I can't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt is that he sucks balls but I'm working on it
Let's read your post back :
It was an easy fight to score - Opinion
Calzaghe won easily 8-4 - Opinion
I don't know how anyone can have Hopkins winning this fight - Opinion
Need I go on?? No...you simply can't reply to my post because you have no answer..*sigh* Calzaghe fans![]()
yes it was his 43rd fight, but you name me a boxer that once he has made it to the top hasnt had "fights off", all the top fighters do, including hopkins and i bet you could find fighters that arent top of the pile who hopkins has fought during the latter part of his carear. This is a very bitter statement
yes people are bias towards the fighters they like. Calzaghe won the fight tho, it wasnt a controversial decision, to shout and scream about the calzaghe fans being biast because they agree with the decision shows bitterness
this is utter bollox mate and also shows bitterness
yep, i think considering what hopkins has done since, calzaghe so clearly won the last 8 rounds it was probably his best win. He obviously doesnt suck balls tho![]()
