Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins at 2008-04-19 for The Ring magazine Light Heavy title
Пікірлер
Hopkins, sign him up for todays nfl . He holds like a offensive lineman, thru the whole game.

I love the way the commentators try and down play everything Calzaghe does and big up Hopkins. The most biased boxing commentary I've heard, even worse than English commentators with Bruno. Hilarious.

Commentator......... "I don't see Calzaghe beating Hopkins on flair." Has he ever seen Joe Calzaghe fight FFS???? Calzaghe was a brilliant operator and was that good that even after a career of over 40 top quality pro fights under his belt, his face doesn't look like he's ever been a boxer.

He should have been covered much better then he was but considering who he was Joe loved the sport of boxing and was content with the European market, he got a lot further in life with his family always in front of him knowing when the time came, he was that man to beat. Joe and Floyd and Andra ward retired from boxing, boxing didn't retire them. So many boxers fall sick and live devastating lives as a result of all trauma to head and body. It's nice to see men like Joe Calzaghe and Floyd Mayweather because their the ones who walked away fully intact. Watching Roy Jones still boxing at like 57 years old tells you how #u@ked up boxing is there's no way the people who run boxing should let men over 50 to continue to box but they do George Foreman the man's in his 70s and still trying to make a comeback and he's one of the wealthiest boxers he made a fortune coming back as the oldest boxer, but he took an @$$ whipping like never before and they just kept him in boxing because these promoters dont give a crap about those fighter's they make all the money......look at the upcoming fight Garcia and Davis should be able to get 75 million a piece that fight is going to make at least 500 million when its all over these guys will be lucky to walk away with 3 million dollars this is the biggest fight since Pacquiao and Mayweather and they made more money in one fight then most boxers do in their entire career. Well anyway Floyd Mayweather did. Toping all boxers

You have to love the Americans blindness to their unwarranted chokehold over boxing. All big belts are run by the US, the big money is in the US, the most famous events are in the US. Not being recognized as a non-American boxer in the US only means that an American boxer is holding those belts and the American fans/press/organizations are terrified this non-American boxer might come in and take all the belts. That's why they ignore exciting non-American boxers for as long as they possibly can and try to paint them as newcomers when they finally get their chance, even though they often have amazing resumes.

Calzaghe doesn't even have a third of this resume + struggled against hopkins & robin reid - 2 fights that were split decisions, with no rematch. This is partly why Joe doesn't get the same flowers as other fighters from this era. Like a Tyson, Oscar, Hopkins, Roy, Klitschko or Lewis.

I remember this fight and watching it back, more specifically the rhetoric from the American pundits before the fight and the commentators during the fight: the Yanks never faced the reality and the reality was that Joe Calzaghe was a world class fighter. Even Hopkins himself said he just saw Calzaghe as a white boy. If he'd done his homework he'd have worked out that Calzaghe was a real threat. In the first round here, one of the commentators remembered that Calzaghe had put Chris Eubank down "....but Hopkins ain't Eubank!!" he quipped. No..... dickhead. You're right. Bernard Hopkins ain't Chris Eubank. Eubank was far and away a better, harder fighter than Hopkins ever was.... but I guess that didn't fit in with the "USA rules the frikkin' world!" mentality. So, even with a fighter like Calzaghe going over to the states with his record and with his skill for all to see..... the Yanks STILL refused to accept just how good Calzaghe was..... and that's gonna filter down to the fighters. Hopkins had clearly never done a minute of homework on Calzaghe and so you get what happenned...... Joe Calzaghe gave ignorant, arrogant America yet ANOTHER boxing lesson.

I love the way the commentators try and down play everything Calzaghe does and big up Hopkins. The most biased boxing commentary I've heard, even worse than English commentators with Bruno. Hilarious.
Americans are gobshites. I think Hagler would of had a good chance. But he was a great man nothing like Hopkins and the rest of the BIG MOUTHS.
Great to see Emanuel commentating, a proven cheat!!!
Bernard is smart there you don't see it so you hear it wrong
They always wanted to be black, and hated their whiteness. It' not their fault.
Typical American c u c k s
Commentator......... "I don't see Calzaghe beating Hopkins on flair." Has he ever seen Joe Calzaghe fight FFS???? Calzaghe was a brilliant operator and was that good that even after a career of over 40 top quality pro fights under his belt, his face doesn't look like he's ever been a boxer.

spectacular punch as well.
@@ThankGodImBlack370 Yes, it was a very tough fight. Calzaghe later admitted it was his most grueling fight.

He would just laugh at people who talked $#!+....and then beat the hell out of them.🤣🤣🤣
He should have been covered much better then he was but considering who he was Joe loved the sport of boxing and was content with the European market, he got a lot further in life with his family always in front of him knowing when the time came, he was that man to beat. Joe and Floyd and Andra ward retired from boxing, boxing didn't retire them. So many boxers fall sick and live devastating lives as a result of all trauma to head and body. It's nice to see men like Joe Calzaghe and Floyd Mayweather because their the ones who walked away fully intact. Watching Roy Jones still boxing at like 57 years old tells you how #u@ked up boxing is there's no way the people who run boxing should let men over 50 to continue to box but they do George Foreman the man's in his 70s and still trying to make a comeback and he's one of the wealthiest boxers he made a fortune coming back as the oldest boxer, but he took an @$$ whipping like never before and they just kept him in boxing because these promoters dont give a crap about those fighter's they make all the money......look at the upcoming fight Garcia and Davis should be able to get 75 million a piece that fight is going to make at least 500 million when its all over these guys will be lucky to walk away with 3 million dollars this is the biggest fight since Pacquiao and Mayweather and they made more money in one fight then most boxers do in their entire career. Well anyway Floyd Mayweather did. Toping all boxers
Calzaghe beat so many racists it’s silly….. Fury would destroyed ali as fury compared to ali is like comparing ali to mayweather jr & yes mayweather jr is faster & more illusive than ali but would he beat ali being smaller & lighter ????? The same for fury vs ali… Easy win for fury to be honest…
I’d love to see the reaction if joe had said I’ll never let a black boy beat me the accusations of racism would last to this day
Too bad american white boys can't beat anybody in boxing besides themselves😅 y'all have to root for none American boxers. Even in MMA y'all get y'all asses beat the fk up😅
Joe is well mannered and a True Professional 🇬🇧
To right bloody disgrace but then its only white people who are racist isn't it
Typical double standard. The problem is that no one not considered “white” even flinched with that comment. And for the record, plenty of white people could beat him in a real fight.

You have to love the Americans blindness to their unwarranted chokehold over boxing. All big belts are run by the US, the big money is in the US, the most famous events are in the US. Not being recognized as a non-American boxer in the US only means that an American boxer is holding those belts and the American fans/press/organizations are terrified this non-American boxer might come in and take all the belts. That's why they ignore exciting non-American boxers for as long as they possibly can and try to paint them as newcomers when they finally get their chance, even though they often have amazing resumes.

Hopkins won that fight for sure. The knock down, the clean punches, controlling the pace of the fight. It was a Hopkins fight Eubank is not remotely in the same league as Hopkins. Don't be silly
Bernard lost because of the way the anthem was sung by Ray J. It is a fucking anthem not a love song
Who's Ray j???
This was a very entertaining fight...too bad about the vanishing audio.
The sound cut out in the 12th round and didn’t come back.
Legends
I lost all my respect for Hopkins when he said he refused to loose to a white man he actually showed his hidden racist heart
this was no surprise..he's always been an undercover Racist ..but its ok because he's been oppressed by the White Man !
The sound cuts out towards the end of Round 11 and stays cut for the final round and announcing of who won the fight and post fight interviews!
No sound at all from the middle if the 11th round to the end of the fight
One punch hold typical Hopkins fight
And headbutt
Hopkins looked like he thought he turned up for a waltz or maybe a wrestling match.
it's interesting some of the punches Joe Calzaghe throws aren't even punches at all. it's like a flailing, slapping , claw attack. When he really gets going on the combinations, sometimes.
It's very frustrating to see the ref jump in to break up the fighters every time they get in close......unfortunately, this ref is helping Hopkins.. Let them fight, the holding is part of the fight....ref, stay out of it!
34:31 how do you get that wrong .. max is such a tool lol
Max is a pervert
The national anthems at the beginning were so unbearably cringe 🤢 lol. Anyway, remember this fight well, and so happy Calzaghe beat Hopkins. Dirtiest fighter I've seen and no respect at all.
What happened to the sound?
Joe what a great fighter and champion, all time great
World Class Hug Fest!
Class act, the Prince of Wales
Ref comon hop is holding on and you not telling him anything
Hopkins is a real actor...
Oscar worthy brilliant buffoonery😂
Hopkins has been considered as one of the dirtiest fighters, he's been resorting to arm clinching, headbutts and other dirty tactics. No respect for that dirty guy at all..
but he has been so oppressed by the White man ??!!??
Joe Calzaghe has NEVER been a dirty fighter!
Roberto Duran was a dirty fighter too.
It's truly a mystery why Calzaghe was such an unsung legend during and since his invincible boxing career.
Because he was knownas a slapper, didn’t always connect clean with his punches and fought sub standard opponents or ones that where good 5-10 years ago I.e Hopkins Roy Jones jnr, that were past their prime I mean old man Hopkins gave him his hardest ever fight a split decision 🙄 that’s why maybe 🤔I mean other fighters Peter manfredo really 🙄🤦♂️ Kessler was half decent and younger but even tho he gave JC a tough fight was too inexperienced, Hopkins was just too experienced I.e too old!
Not much a mystery. He didn't fight in the U.S. till the end of his career. I'm sure he wasn't unknown in Europe.
Good job referee for not allowing dirty tatics to prevail in this fight. Well done .
Love it.
Many RIP, the greatest boxing trainer of all time!
Calzaghe HAD to follow him up to LightHeavy... because Hopkins ducked a fight at 168 in 2002
ABSOLUTE FACT
Dumb take. Meanwhile, Joe ducked Glen Johnson three times and was playing hide and seek with Sven Ottke in Europe. And he also ducked the likes of James Toney, Michael Nunn and of course Roy Jones in his prime.
@@suiken3149 RJJ never fought Calzaghe in his prime either.
@@miyagido Of course he wouldnt. Joe Calzaghe was a nobody. Waited years to come out from his cave when Jones and Hopkins are already old. Where was he when Tarver, Johnson, Toney, Nunn, etc are scrapping for LHW throne? Oh right, he was busy beating taxi drivers in Wales
@@suiken3149 46-0
Love American biased commentary. Also it was Chris Eubank who was dropped in the first round against Joe, not calzaghe.
There's no crying and running in boxing. Those who lost to Hopkins during his career would like a rematch after watching this.
Did you hear all the excuses for Hopkins racism?
Please...he's been sooooo oppressed by the WHITE MAN !!!!!!!+
@@GORILLABREATH1 ha ha ha ha 🤣 how crazy is this shit?
Ray J 's N Anthem was Horrible
I remember this fight, I remember Hopkins writing joe off, the commentators practically writing Joe off.. great fight and showed the yanks
they undersell Joe's career here, he'd beat Lacey and unified and beat Kessler - who went on to beat Froch
Joe gave him WAY TOO much respect should have absolutely spanked him.
Not really. Hopkins was a master at counter punching. You don't fight this level of fighter like that. You need to be smarter and pick your moments.
