hopkins lost i think the left hook to the nuts in the tenth took its effect,hopkins knocked him down in the first round but joe came back late in the fight to win on points ,i hope they have a rematch i think hopkins would knock his ass out in a rematch with no groin punch so late in the fight?

What a very astute judge of a boxer you are,what's that now 45-0 and it's about time someone gave Hopkins a dose of his own medicine,how anyone can call it a knockdown instead of a slip in the first round jeez you guy's gotta open your eyes when you watch a fight. Talk of match against Jones , and the dollar will tempt him into it. Joe's not a great technician but he is a s*****per and it's about time he wasa getting the big payday's. Not many boxer's have got a better record than Joe,if any,but Hopkins said he'd never lose to white guy well Bernard you just got beat by Joe's lilly white ar5e.

Calzaghe throws a lot of punches and even better,connects with a large percentage of them. If you connect with more punches you will usually win. Calzaghe 33% v Hopkins 27%

Retirement. How good is his body for a 43 year old man.
Calzaghe next opponents most likely are Jones Jr Pavlik.

roy is my favourite i hope he destroys anyone that is put in front of him he is getting on though .yeah i agree that hopkins should retire and he is a superstar for going twelve rounds for a title at 43 hope i look half as good as that in ten years !

roy jones vs calzaghe would be just like hopkins vs calzaghe....jones of 5 years ago would destroy calzaghe but jones is getting on a bit...however id rather see him fight calzaghe than de la hoya...
a good fight would be mayweather vs calzaghe at a catch weight

We need fresh faces ,Mayweather is a gun,like we said before we need a real heavy weight some one brutal and hard to replace,Tyson ,Lewis,Holyfield? How do you reckon Mundine would fair against Joe Calzaghe,Mundine is no slouch and hes traing with jones snr???
