History lesson maybe??? NO ONE ducked Calzaghe, he was never a fight anyone in the US looked for because he NEVER fought ANYBODY until Lacy. He racked up a bunch of wins fighting no ones just like Hatton. To me, beating Lacy proved nothing because Lacy was hyped up and had also never really beaten anyone. His most impressive win was against a 43 year old B-Hop.... really.... B-Hop, RJJ, and Toney in their primes EASILY outclass Calzaghe.
I was at this fight live....Tarver was tired walking to the ring. He should have NEVER taken this fight so close to being 225 for the Rocky movie. Just dumb.
b hop is an extremely boring fighter he wins by limiting offense which not only looks boring but is also questionable ie clinching, headbutting, hitting in the clinch, on the break, and generally backing up and lunge punching followed by a clinch. not really a display of skill or athleticism.
@jason60152 Well that's his opinion so what? He only one person, what about the thousands of comments who prise Hopkins on this video huh? This video has 816,203 views, do think people are here to watch Tarver or B-Hop?
@jason60152 No your the stupid one believe that. B-Hop who spend most of his career at middleweight move up 2 weight classes to beat Tarver. Stop being a dick and give B-Hop his respect.
@jason60152 - STFU you don't even respect yourself. If you such a bad ass why don't post a video or post a picture of yourself faggot. I know you won't because you're a chicken who lay Tarver's eggs.
@antijason60152 How about you post a pic fag boy.You probaly look like pee wee herman with a mullet.Go jack off to hamster. I heard the shemales like to fuck nut huggers like you.All you respect is how I punish you in every video. hahaha I win again!! I'm getting bored with you.Your not even fun no more.
@fabuloso2308 You dont have to have been in the ring professionally to know boxing. Hes been around the fight game for 50 years. You dont have to like his opinion, but you cant knock his credentials.
@TheSubliminalVerse As the title of the video says, it was a knock down not a knockout but I can understand someone not noticing the knock down. Tarver's glove just grazed the canvas. It's easy to miss.
B-Hop school of jab and grab boxing,loved his game in the 90's,but in the 00's and now........please Bernard just Stop!!!!......Your Tearing me Apart....!!!
Hopkins gets credit for this win of course, but Tarver didn't look the same here as he did against Roy. Just his body and energy level don't seem to be up like they were for those fights. Just seems like he went through motions all night in this one. Where was the aggression we saw against Roy? The confidence? It's all gone here.
@Antrizzle2009 You know why Tarver had no aggression and confidence against Bernard?, because he couldn't intimidate Bernard!, Bernard Hopkins is a hard nosed, hard head, knuckleheaded criminal!, and Tarver realized that, Roy was a bad azz fighter, but Tarver wasn't impressed or afraid of Roy's skill, Tarver looked at Roy like he was Hollywood, Hopkins said in the pre-fight interview, if Tarver comes in, he's gettin' knocked out!, and he said it defiantly and meant it!

Ha Ha I'm happy that Bernard Hopkins Exposed this clown. Tarver calling himself a legend killer and got killed by the legend. he's 15 minutes of fame is up. Hang it up Antonio ''Bitch Made'' Tarver your career is done.
Calzaghe beat hopkins beat a little out of his prime fair enough! still won though! but Lacy was in best shape of his life and calzaghe slapped him like child.
I'm so tired of seeing people saying someone is past their prime when they lose. How long is a boxer in his prime? He's in the ring trying to win a fight like the other guy, if you lose you lose. You get your ass KO'd you get KO'd. I dont even like Calzaghe or his style but I'm not going to discredit him for beating Jones and Benard. Shit was Calzaghe in his prime when he beat them? No
@huskie14 lol obviously the calslappy fanboys thumbed up your comment, but yeah it was a load of bullshit. i guess since 'if you lose you lose' and prime doesn't matter, trevor berbick was better than muhammed ali. you clearly know nothing about boxing since you completely discredit the concept of a boxer being past his prime. and shit, was calzaghe getting knocked out by glen johnson over 5 years earlier? no.
Antonio Tarver sucks donkey balls! His whole career is an accident. Watch the Roy Jones Jr. KO fight. He just hit RJJ at the right time with no skill involved. Any fighter that had somewhat of a name, He barely beat this man and this is a joke! Benard hopkins proved just that. Tarver is a one hit wonder. Stop living in the past and show us something new. His fights are like a Bedtime story, They put me to sleep. B-Hop kicked his ass & it was too funny to watch.
after beating ruiz roy jones dropped in weight to fight tarver and said it drained him to which tarver said before their second fight "you got any excuses tonight roy?". tarver then went up in weight to film rocky and then went back down to fight hopkins. i just have one question, "got any excuses tonight antonio?" lol
@moosedagreat you can't "make excuses" after you already accused someone of making excuses for something you just proved to be true, point being that tarver looked shitty after dropping weight just like jones did so he can't say shit
@moosedagreat sigh...i'm saying that tarver said the weight issue was just an excuse yet when he dropped the weight the same thing happened to him thats what i'm saying
jack johnson, jack dempsey, Ali, frazier, holmes, tyson, foreman.. jones jr.. hopkins, toney, de la hoya, mayweather, mosely, forrest, ward, the list goes on and on... the usa is the proving grounds. greatest fight country in history. Period.
lmao - drewboy must not remember that Hatton and Calzaghe have beaten no one of relevance. Calzaghe only beat our best fighters on their way out. It is the Euro fighters who get to 40-0 fighting nobodies. Jones in his prime would have beat Calzahge worse than Mayweather beat Hatton.
If I had a dollar for every time Ive heard some RJJ /Hopkins arse licker say they would've won in their prime, then I'd be rich man. If RJJ wasnt so fuckn busy beating up bums (inc a cop) and talkn about himself then maybe Calzaghe could've got a word in to set up a fight years ago. What was the age difference between RJJ and Calzaghe when they fought? not enough to use that same lame excuse.
@cykodave5 state the obvious, dumbass. Also state that Jones never fought anyone of relevance other than Hopkins and Toney. Although I love Roy Jones. Nobody would have beaten him in the 90's ;) Floyd to fight Paul Williams?!?!?!?!
@cykodave5 fair enough i accept people saying jones would probs have beaten calzaghe in his prime but im sick of people saying calzaghe has beaten nobodies. kessler was prime, lacy was the next big thing and calzaghe practically ended his career. he also beat hopkins (and he believe he DID beat hopkins) who seems to school anyone nowadays. also when calzaghe retired i dont believe there was anyone out there who he wouldn't have beaten.
@cykodave5 - I'd say that at 36 Calzaghe was on his way out too wouldn't you? The fact that Hopkins had a convincing win in his next fight actually shows he is still in great physical condition and still a top fighter. Trash talk Joe all you like, he spanked the 3 highest rated American fighters one after another. Two of them he made to look like amateurs.
@cykodave5 although I'm not a massive fan of Calzaghe, I don't agree that he didn't beat anyone of relevence he beat anyone that wanted to fight him? tell me who he dodged?
@cykodave5 wow? who did joe fight in his first big fight eubank? he beat undefeated lacy kessler and then bhop who was on his way out ud say but did bhop go on to beat pavlik then pascal but get robbed wow? and hatton beat kosty and castilo mayweather ducked costy and only just beat castilo let me gues your american and you pissed cus euro fighters are taking over and the black fighters in america are gone acept mayweather whos ducking the best
@cykodave5 Calzaghe was undefeated world champion for 10 years. Retired undefeated. Beat Hopkins (close but still beat him) and then 3 years later Hopkins becomes oldest WORLD champion ever. To say Calzaghe faced no one relevant is a joke. And as for Hatton..... yeah ok he is a joke.
@mb62011 Hatton aint no joke, he foght anybody and anyone! and went anywhere to do it. granted he wasnt the most gifted boxer but to call the man a joke shows you know nothign about boxing.
@HULKHODGY He is a joke because of how he acted. And for you to say he wasn't gifted is also a joke. He could have accomplished much more if he wasn't on drugs and alcohol. You know nothing about boxing, he didn't beat anyone that good and when he had the chance he blew it, not through his lack of gifts as a boxer but through his lack of brains....
@mb62011 nobody that good, So tyszu was ranked number 2 on p4p list for laugh then was he? If ya read what what i put i said he wasnt the most gifted fighter, i didnt say he wasnt gifted at all. anyway whats wrong with the way hatton acted, the drugs only came into effect when pacquiao knocked him the fuck out. There nothing wrong with a pint ask any brit that ;). Hattons problem was he didnt stay in shape it had nothing to do with the way he acted.
@BlueMagicVaults Shut yo ass up you funny talkin' Brit!, Calzaghe is a joke!, and didn't fight reputable fighters like Hopkins and Jones until they were in their 40's, and on their way out the sport!, Calzaghe purposely stayed in Europe because he knew he would have got his azz floored and knocked out here in America!, if Hopkins and Jones BOTH put Calfagge on his ass in the 1st round, what do you think they would have done to him in their primes?, DESTROYED HIM!
@BlueMagicVaults Not only that, when Hopkins lost to Calfagge, he won by a decision, not a knockout or tko!, he can't and couldn't knock Hopkins or Jones out!, Calfagge got punched in his mouth several times by both Hopkins and Jones, so shut that bullshit up!, even Mikkel Kessler slapped the shit out of Calfagge and chinchecked him in his mouth!, Calfagge beat Kessler by a decision, and because he threw more punches, sloppy punches on top of that, while Kessler landed more accurate punches!
@BlueMagicVaults Talk about a weak comeback, what you said made no sense!, Hopkins went back to fighting Americans because there are no other European fighters to beat!, Calzaghe was the only European fighter, outside the heavyweight division who fought an American, Hopkins had no answer for Calzaghe, you stupid muthafucka, his right cross to Calzaghe's mouth was his answer that damn near took Calzaghe off his feet several times, he already knocked him on his azz in the 1st round!!!...
@BlueMagicVaults You mean Calslappy had no comeback for Hopkins you dumb, beotch azz clown!, Hopkins knocked Calslappy on his ass!, Calzaghe DID NOT knock Hopkins on his ass, HE COULDN'T!, so who had no comeback?, you fuckin' funny ass clown!, Jones has never been the same since he lost all that weight and muscle to fight Tarver, if Jones never lost that weight, he would still be kickin' ass to this day!, like Bernard Hopkins!, and Jones would have made quick work of Danny Greene and the russian
@VayLoc310 your talking about his right cross like he dominated him with that or something? are you deluded, yes he knocked him down once, that knockdown had no real significance by the end of the fight
Well done he caught our guy with one, same way mitchell did then he got knocked the fuck around until the ref had to stop it. Your a ignorant clown american who's steady draining the nuts of hopkins and jones
about if he didn't loose weight for tarver blah blah, yeah, tarver knocked him out.
@BlueMagicVaults Shut the fuck up you Calzaghe groupie ass fag!, Hopkins dominated Calzaghe the entire fight and you know it!, all Calzaghe did was get mad and throw a flurry of sloppy hands that landed nowhere!, don't be mad because Hopkins chin checked that fag Calzaghe the entire fight like he did Tarver in this video!, you say I'm draining the nuts of Jones and Hopkins, you gay bitch, you were doing the same with Calzaghe before I said anything, which prompted me to say somethin' to you!...
@BlueMagicVaults You delusional bitch! Fuck you and Calzaghe!, that's why he retired after he fought Jones because he knew Hopkins wanted a rematch and was gonna punish his coward ass again! Yeah, quit while you're ahead you scary ass punk, while Hopkins is still knockin' foos out!, like I been sayin' since 2008, where was Cowardzaghe when Jones and Hopkins were in their primes?, in Europe, fighting nobodies, because he knew Hopkins and Jones would have destroyed his ass! NUFF SAID FAG!
Terrible...Is this fight in slow motion? Green is quicker and more clinical than what these two show in this fight. History proves that American boxers are self made legends on their own soil...but dont like fighting foreigners in other countries. Hopkins / RJJ prime examples....Americans have always self proclaimed they are the best fighters. They are crying because foreign fighters have been taking the accolades now for the past few years..Lewis, Hatton, Klitscho, Calzaghe, Paquaio lol
really? lol Green is more clinical than hopkins?? ok bud... Americans dont like going over seas because the money is here and the judging... you cant trust judging in general... but esspecially in other countries... thats a fact. Why risk your career on bs? And why do foreign fighters come to america to fight? FOR RESPECT. Everybody knows if you cant beat american champions, you NEVER get the full respect of a true legacy. WERE THE BEST. we are the proving grounds. period.
That's a Hopkins revenge to Tarver for Jones. Legend crusher got dominated by Executioner, exactly the same way as he was dominated by Junior. Another proof of the fact that Jones in his prime would KOTF Tarver before Buffer leaves the ring...
That's a theory pal. And I admitted that I am a defender of a bullhit theory, did not I? And those mentions are xclusions to it. But legend crusher got his ass crushed, huh:) That warms up my heart during long winter nights. Jones is the best, and Tarver... I did not even know him until I started to dwell in Jones biography.Tarver... this name tells nothing to almost everybody around. And when you ask about Roy Jones, even the housewife will tell you that he is the greatest boxer eva.
@BlackDogGrim Yeah not to mention Jones was on the downhill of his career when he beat Tarver. Just think what he would have done to him had he been in his prime?
Yep, even on the third rematch it was 112-116 from two judges, which means that Tarver outscored Jones only on narrow margin. Jones was still looking good against him and had beaten his share of crap outta Antonio:) Antonio is a good boxer but not a match to the best fighter who ever lived on Earth. Jones stayed undefeated for 14 years.
Antonio Tarver sucks donkey balls! His whole career is an accident. Watch the Roy Jones Jr. KO fight. He just hit RJJ at the right time with no skill involved. Any fighter that had somewhat of a name, He barely beat this man and this is a joke! Bernard Hopkins proved just that. Tarver is a one hit wonder. Stop living in the past and show us something new. His fights are like a Bedtime story, They put me to sleep. B-Hop kicked his ass & it was too funny to watch.
I agree with you, even though he beat Jones 2 times, we all know in Jones prime he would kill dude. Man I missed the old Jones, he is the best fighter every in my book. But with his style of fighting, the first thing to go is the speed, Hopkins never was quick that is why he aged better then Jones as a fighter.
But Tarver is living off the Jones fight, the biggest bum in boxing history, who has he fought?
your right,a fighter must never underestimate an offense of another.with that said,you fighter must always be aware so that the "lucky" punches don't connect.
i don't think Tarver is overrated because there's not a lot of people who think he's that great. Sure he beat Roy Twice and Glen once, but thats about it. Dawson whooped him twice. 27-6 stinks. He's a B - class fighter at most.

lmao - drewboy must not remember that Hatton and Calzaghe have beaten no one of relevance. Calzaghe only beat our best fighters on their way out. It is the Euro fighters who get to 40-0 fighting nobodies. Jones in his prime would have beat Calzahge worse than Mayweather beat Hatton.

If I had a dollar for every time Ive heard some RJJ /Hopkins arse licker say they would've won in their prime, then I'd be rich man. If RJJ wasnt so fuckn busy beating up bums (inc a cop) and talkn about himself then maybe Calzaghe could've got a word in to set up a fight years ago. What was the age difference between RJJ and Calzaghe when they fought? not enough to use that same lame excuse.
Hopkins - Just fight Green , or just retire.

@cykodave5 fair enough i accept people saying jones would probs have beaten calzaghe in his prime but im sick of people saying calzaghe has beaten nobodies. kessler was prime, lacy was the next big thing and calzaghe practically ended his career. he also beat hopkins (and he believe he DID beat hopkins) who seems to school anyone nowadays. also when calzaghe retired i dont believe there was anyone out there who he wouldn't have beaten.

@cykodave5 - I'd say that at 36 Calzaghe was on his way out too wouldn't you? The fact that Hopkins had a convincing win in his next fight actually shows he is still in great physical condition and still a top fighter. Trash talk Joe all you like, he spanked the 3 highest rated American fighters one after another. Two of them he made to look like amateurs.

@cykodave5 Calzaghe was undefeated world champion for 10 years. Retired undefeated. Beat Hopkins (close but still beat him) and then 3 years later Hopkins becomes oldest WORLD champion ever. To say Calzaghe faced no one relevant is a joke. And as for Hatton..... yeah ok he is a joke.

There nothing wrong with a pint ask any brit that ;). Hattons problem was he didnt stay in shape it had nothing to do with the way he acted.

Your americans were dodging Calzaghe for years, defiantly.
and looked what happened when you tryed sending over jeff lacey? got outclassed and absolute battered all fight long
Calzaghe is a serious and dignified boxing great,
and answer me how the fuck was Hopkins on his way out, when after the fight he went on to beat pavlik and pascak infactically

@BlueMagicVaults Shut yo ass up you funny talkin' Brit!, Calzaghe is a joke!, and didn't fight reputable fighters like Hopkins and Jones until they were in their 40's, and on their way out the sport!, Calzaghe purposely stayed in Europe because he knew he would have got his azz floored and knocked out here in America!, if Hopkins and Jones BOTH put Calfagge on his ass in the 1st round, what do you think they would have done to him in their primes?, DESTROYED HIM!
VayLoc310 6 months ago
@BlueMagicVaults Not only that, when Hopkins lost to Calfagge, he won by a decision, not a knockout or tko!, he can't and couldn't knock Hopkins or Jones out!, Calfagge got punched in his mouth several times by both Hopkins and Jones, so shut that bullshit up!, even Mikkel Kessler slapped the shit out of Calfagge and chinchecked him in his mouth!, Calfagge beat Kessler by a decision, and because he threw more punches, sloppy punches on top of that, while Kessler landed more accurate punches!
VayLoc310 6 months ago
@VayLoc310 one of the weakest come backs, you said nothing of relevance there, both hopkins and jones failed to make impact on Joe, end of.
That's why hopkins had to go back and fight americans, he had NO answer for Calzaghe
You hating faggot, are dude is undefeated, what u boys saying man? Jones still getting knocked out by Russian nobodys lol aight then
BlueMagicVaults 6 months ago
@BlueMagicVaults Talk about a weak comeback, what you said made no sense!, Hopkins went back to fighting Americans because there are no other European fighters to beat!, Calzaghe was the only European fighter, outside the heavyweight division who fought an American, Hopkins had no answer for Calzaghe, you stupid muthafucka, his right cross to Calzaghe's mouth was his answer that damn near took Calzaghe off his feet several times, he already knocked him on his azz in the 1st round!!!...
VayLoc310 6 months ago
@BlueMagicVaults You mean Calslappy had no comeback for Hopkins you dumb, beotch azz clown!, Hopkins knocked Calslappy on his ass!, Calzaghe DID NOT knock Hopkins on his ass, HE COULDN'T!, so who had no comeback?, you fuckin' funny ass clown!, Jones has never been the same since he lost all that weight and muscle to fight Tarver, if Jones never lost that weight, he would still be kickin' ass to this day!, like Bernard Hopkins!, and Jones would have made quick work of Danny Greene and the russian
VayLoc310 6 months ago
@VayLoc310 your talking about his right cross like he dominated him with that or something? are you deluded, yes he knocked him down once, that knockdown had no real significance by the end of the fight
Well done he caught our guy with one, same way mitchell did then he got knocked the fuck around until the ref had to stop it. Your a ignorant clown american who's steady draining the nuts of hopkins and jones
about if he didn't loose weight for tarver blah blah, yeah, tarver knocked him out.

@BlueMagicVaults Shut the fuck up you Calzaghe groupie ass fag!, Hopkins dominated Calzaghe the entire fight and you know it!, all Calzaghe did was get mad and throw a flurry of sloppy hands that landed nowhere!, don't be mad because Hopkins chin checked that fag Calzaghe the entire fight like he did Tarver in this video!, you say I'm draining the nuts of Jones and Hopkins, you gay bitch, you were doing the same with Calzaghe before I said anything, which prompted me to say somethin' to you!...
VayLoc310 6 months ago
@BlueMagicVaults You delusional bitch! Fuck you and Calzaghe!, that's why he retired after he fought Jones because he knew Hopkins wanted a rematch and was gonna punish his coward ass again! Yeah, quit while you're ahead you scary ass punk, while Hopkins is still knockin' foos out!, like I been sayin' since 2008, where was Cowardzaghe when Jones and Hopkins were in their primes?, in Europe, fighting nobodies, because he knew Hopkins and Jones would have destroyed his ass! NUFF SAID FAG!

Terrible...Is this fight in slow motion? Green is quicker and more clinical than what these two show in this fight. History proves that American boxers are self made legends on their own soil...but dont like fighting foreigners in other countries. Hopkins / RJJ prime examples....Americans have always self proclaimed they are the best fighters. They are crying because foreign fighters have been taking the accolades now for the past few years..Lewis, Hatton, Klitscho, Calzaghe, Paquaio lol
drewboy161276 2 years ago 2
really? lol Green is more clinical than hopkins?? ok bud... Americans dont like going over seas because the money is here and the judging... you cant trust judging in general... but esspecially in other countries... thats a fact. Why risk your career on bs? And why do foreign fighters come to america to fight? FOR RESPECT. Everybody knows if you cant beat american champions, you NEVER get the full respect of a true legacy. WERE THE BEST. we are the proving grounds. period.

Yep, even on the third rematch it was 112-116 from two judges, which means that Tarver outscored Jones only on narrow margin. Jones was still looking good against him and had beaten his share of crap outta Antonio:) Antonio is a good boxer but not a match to the best fighter who ever lived on Earth. Jones stayed undefeated for 14 years.

Antonio Tarver sucks donkey balls! His whole career is an accident. Watch the Roy Jones Jr. KO fight. He just hit RJJ at the right time with no skill involved. Any fighter that had somewhat of a name, He barely beat this man and this is a joke! Bernard Hopkins proved just that. Tarver is a one hit wonder. Stop living in the past and show us something new. His fights are like a Bedtime story, They put me to sleep. B-Hop kicked his ass & it was too funny to watch.

I agree with you, even though he beat Jones 2 times, we all know in Jones prime he would kill dude. Man I missed the old Jones, he is the best fighter every in my book. But with his style of fighting, the first thing to go is the speed, Hopkins never was quick that is why he aged better then Jones as a fighter.
But Tarver is living off the Jones fight, the biggest bum in boxing history, who has he fought?
