Joe on Popkins

“He’s a cheat,” Calzaghe said of Hopkins. “He took three minutes off
when I didn’t touch him and he needed a rest. Hopkins is just a
spoiled little girl.”

That'll piss off Hopkins, for sure, as he takes his money to the bank.

Calzaghe...should just shut up. If he were such a brave man....He should
have dispatched Hopkins quickly and decisively. Instead he won a pitty pat,
shoeshine contest that will continue to haunt him and his supporters as a
wannabee.

I must say that Calzaghe needs to stop this "it will bring out the best
in me" rubbish. He wasn't impressive and just sneaked a decision against
an old man - great pedigree that he has though. He was telling all and
sundry that if he lost he would never be seen again - hardly gentlemanly
conduct. So he can forget all this self righteous "ambassador for the
sport" rubbish - he was never particularly likable and was an unknown
for so long because he fought rubbish and refused to fight abroad. One
trip to the states and a narrow victory does not put up there in the
hall of fame I'm afraid. Michalczewski would have kicked his arse.

I fought abroad once.

I lost the fight *and* went to jail.

Never mess with a broad who 'is willing to fight.
They'll get you one way or anothers, and not always
on equal terms.

Name the last fighter who looked good against Hopkins, answer, NO ONE.
Hopkins is a spoiler, and when he spoiled Calzaghe he also did nothing
himself. Roy Jones when he was superman in 1993 didn't look good or
dominate against him; Calzaghe's 116-111 was the biggest score on one
card that Hopkins has ever lost by in his entire career. The two
Jermaine Taylor fights were much closer than this Calzaghe bout. The
only thing Hopkins did, as he has for years, was lead in with his
head, throw one right hand, clinch and run away. Throwing 4 punches a
round. He's pissed off most of the boxing audience wasting money on
pay per view bore fests for years.
What you posted, well, you know fuck all about Hopkins, Calzaghe or
boxing in general. Typical and all too predictable from a bitter
English limey, like you.

Yeah, but Jones beat Hopkins 116-112 on all three cards, though I think
116-111 or 117-110 would have been good scores for Calzaghe-Hopkins.

I think thats a fair summary, though the Darius fight would have been of
benefit to them both, and I think would have been a cracking contest rather
than an arse kicking!
I do wonder if Joe had stepped into the ring against Hopkins a few years ago
whether he would have been beaten handily - match making at its best is what
we witnessed!
