I really think calzaghe is overrated

[D Higgins]

Tell that to Jeff Lacey amd Mikel Kessler.

[be gracious in defeat]

and bernard "never let a white boy beat him" hopkins!! ha ha. stop being bitter. he's 45-0. 2 weight world champ and been the best for ten years. you would LOVE him if he was from the US!

[Bob Vello]

Thank you for telling it like it is. I for one am sick and tired of hearing the white boy comments and the black fighters inability to admit defeat and give credit to the winner. They need to understand it is not the defeat of the human bean, just the boxer. Moreover, if Calzaghe is a white boy does that make Hopkins a black boy?

Thats becuase he hid in Wales ducking guys like Jones Jr and James Toney ten years ago. Calfage is a joke. He has no power and he slaps like a girl. He is prone to getting hit. hopkins floored him and hurt him. Calfage never hurt Hopkins. Nor could he with his best shot. Hopkins has one of the greatest chins since Hagler. Now Kelly Pavlik on the other hand would have destroyed Calfage. 90 -120 punches a round with a iron chin and huge power. How do you beat that. Taylor couldnt. What makes you think a over rated brit can. It would be a great day in Ohio when this fight happens. Pavlik needs to destroy Lockett. That will catch the overrated eye of Calfage. Maybe Enzo can teach him to slap like his son.

[next please]

Who is this joker? Sounds so bitter and angry. Chill out man! If JC is as 'overrated' as you say, Pavlik will destroy him and you can say you were right all along (just like you probably thought BH would destroy him right?). You also probably think that BH was not 'overrated', beating a bloated featherweight in De La Hoya, getting beaten by 'the legend that is Jermain Taylor'(lol), boring his way to a win over Winky and then throwing a fight away to a 'slapper' after a first round knockdown. Wow, it seems that 'overrated' can apply to anyone these days. But not Pavlik. Oh no, he has come up against some real tough opposion. Oh yeh, his chin has been tested against digs harder than Kessler for sure (lol)!
Ps. Speaking of overrated, ask your man Jeff Lacy (the new Tyson I remember the Americans telling us) about those slaps...(lmao)

ha ha!! i agree - who has Pavlik been tested by! Calzaghe would embarrass this guy even now at 36. and let's get it straight - hopkins knocked jc down. he sure as hell didn't hurt him. true champs get knocked down, get back up and still win. hopkins cheated by using his head, holding and spoiling all fight, time wasting to get his breath back and then whined like a little bitch after the stats told him jc had landed more punches on him than any other fighter!!
no wonder hopkins ducked jc when they were both in their prime years ago(yeh read the facts - hopkins pulled out of the deal 24hrs before suddenly asking for double the purse...hmmm). something tells me hopkins has always known jc has had the game to beat him and that the only reason he took it this time was for the £££! jc will finish in the hall of famers undefeated like marciano.
