In the immediate post-fight interview with HBO, Calzaghe was asked if Hopkins was his hardest fight, His answer was:

"One of my hardest fights".

So Flawless, quite why you have this obsession over proving that Hopkins was Calzaghe's hardest fights is beyond me. I can only imagine you have some sort of fetishistic devotion to Hopkins or a pathological hatred of non-Americans so great that you cannot conceive of a world in which they aren't "the best" at everything. Whatever.

Unfortunately you cannot prove what you say because I have a quote contradicting yours. We're 1 and 1. I know its hard to take. I suggest you go kill yourself.

This is after he fought Hopkins

"I know I won. I fought a really hard fight. I had to let the punches go as the fight wore on. He was very defensive. I was only hurt once. It was the hardest fight of my career. I was a bit rusty at the start. I knew this wouldn't look pretty tonight. In training I concentrated on not rushing it, but I am glad to have landed more punches on Hopkins than anyone else has ever managed. He was awkward. He gave me some big shots. It's icing on the cake for my career. I don't know who my next opponent will but - but I am a legend-killer."

He said this himself

Calzaghe wins by split decision LAS VEGAS (Ticker) - Joe Calzaghe battled back from a stunning first-round knockdown on Saturday to score a disputed split decision victory over Bernard Hopkins and reign as the best light heavyweight in the world. Webmasters, make money displaying Oxado contextual ads! Calzaghe (45-0, 32 KOs) extended his unbeaten record but only after by far the toughest test of his career against 43-year-old Hopkins (48-5-1, 32 KOs), whose big right hand had got him off to a flying start. But the brilliant Welshman fought back strongly in the second half of a fight which was marked by frantic exchanges and touched by controversy when Hopkins claimed a low blow in the 10th round. Judge Adalaide Byrd thought Hopkins had done enough to edge a 114-113 verdict but Chuck Giampa (116-111) and Ted Gimza (115-112) both scored in favor of Calzaghe ’s excellent second half of the fight. “I fought really hard tonight,” Calzaghe said. “As the fight wore on, I had to really let my punches go. He was very defensive. A win is a win. I was only hurt once and he never caught me with a cleanpunch. “That knockdown was a slip, but it was one of the toughest fights of my career. I’m very proud to have been the one to have landed the most punches on Hopkins in his career. Calzaghe paused a moment before continuing. “It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t my best night but I know I won,” he said. “It’s my second world title in a second division and I am in America. It is the icing on the cake for my career.” Calzaghe ’s win gave him the Ring magazine’s version of the lightweight title to add to the undisputed super-middleweight crown he still owns. And it will also bring him the global recognition he claims. But he had to work for that recognition

He didn't say it was his hardest fight.

CALZAGHE FANS LIE DENY AND DISTORT INFORMATION



How can you say it's not his hardest fight when he said it was

[Flawless]

I don’t know how they can argue what Calzaghe said himself. I have brought up two quotes one before he fought Hopkins and one after he fought Hopkins yet they said Reid was his hardest fight

[abadger]

Why?

After he fought Hopkins:

"Was this the hardest fight of your career?"

"One of the hardest"

[Clegg]

Someone should find a comment of Flawless that they disagree with and start a 'Mayweather fans lie, distort, **** and aggressively fondle information while listening to Lionel Ritchie' thread.

Someone disagreeing with you isn't a liar.

If I ask you what fight was the hardest of Mayweather's career, you aren't lying if your opinion is different to mine.

[abadger]

who's that?

is that the fat guy that does commentary for sky sports?

He was an American who looked a bit like a troll. He pulled a Mayorga on Calzaghe, letting Calzaghe hit his chin. Then he got stopped. He was a bum.

[Clegg]

Not that there's anything wrong with Lionel.

I often spend a few hours with 'All Night Long' on repeat whilst watching the Calzaghe-Hopkins bumming gif.

[abadger]

The hardest fights of Calzaghe's career were Frank Minton, Tyrone Jackson, Bobby Joe Edwards, Will "Kid Fire" McKintyre and Mario Veit I. Hopkins was the easiest.

[Flawless]

Why?

After he fought Hopkins:

"Was this the hardest fight of your career?"

"One of the hardest"

It was the hardest fight of my career

It was the hardest not one of the hardest
