hopkins is overated. Ive said this before for 10 years he fought welterweights and second rate middleweights and lost to taylor, who is useless.







SC also if Joe Calzaghe gets credit for ruling his division Hopkins deserves the same recongnition.

Hopkins only ruled cos the likes of Toney, Jones and Mccallum werent there. he lost to Jones and the other two would have beaten him. even nunn would beat him. CALZAGHE has beaten everyone hes faced he's never lost a pro bout. and to be honest There is no boxer from middleweight to light heavyweight who can beat him. he would destroy hopkins. The fight is a mismatch.
You get alot of sadclicks because you put your opinions across as fact. Tis a shame because I actually see what you're trying to say, it just doesn't come across very well.
i'll need to improve my grammar, but CALZAGHE does what needs to be done. people criticise him and say who did he beat? He beat three unbeaten challengers and not just beat them but outclassed them. And these were not fat welterweights they were genuine 168lbers, but when he beats them people say oh they were overhyped. Its like hopkins can beat the likes of Segundo Mercado, Steve Frank, William Bo James (who had lost 3 of his previous 8 bouts and only won two of his next seven bouts before retiring), Simon Brown who was shot, overweight and lost his next 5 bouts, Felix Trinidad ok Trinidad was a great boxer, but that was as a welterweight and light middle and the same can be said about Dela hoya.

Calzaghe never ducked anyone and beat some great opponents. Hopkins couldnt even beat Bika, Bika would destroy him as would most world class boxers at 168 or 175
