Low blows aside, what strikes me as a stupid thing to say from Calzaghe is, "I knew all along he was all talk". Umm..Ok, so a 43 yr old who was all talk just gave you the hardest fight you've been in in a decade, and dropped you in the first? I mean in a close contest like this, to talk smack about the man you just narrowly defeated instead of giving him credit for his accomplishments always seemed pointless to me.
Or how about:
"I've just sent one guy into retirement, a so-called legend, so maybe now I can do it now to Roy Jones."
Umm, you didn't SEND Hopkins anywhere, he is 43 and had mantained all along this was likely his last fight. Does Joe really think he could retire a legendary fighter like Hop if he weren't already on his way out?
