Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Calzaghe I and result of a hypothetical rematch

[Althugz]

Not bitter at all, bro. But i HAVE seen more meaningful combinations thrown by middle-aged women fighting over a Kmart "blue-light special".

That sounds bitter

As Alan Partridge would say 'Bunch of bitter bastards'. The Hopkins crew has never gotten over this loss. And again as Alan would say 'It's just sad'. A wise man is old Alan.

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.

It was a poor stoppage. A crap fight too, I was against it from the start.

...and it was Calzaghe's 43rd fight!! LMAO..honestly I 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.
