Calzaghe wouldnt have been knocked down if the fight was in Cardiff!

[Nalian]

Calzaghe wouldnt have been knocked off balance if Hopkins had landed with that punch in Wales, or if Calzaghe had been given at least 6months prior to fight to live in the Uk.

As we know Las Vegas is at an altitude of 2014 feet compared to Cardiff's 67 feet above sea level.

As you can see, higher altitudes affect balance and co-ordination when you havent been fully adjusted to them. So with Calzaghe only getting 2 weeks to adjust instead he was already at a disadvantage.

[TFFP]

:lol: :good

You can't argue with science.

[Fat Joe]

Calzaghe runs in the mountains. He wouldn't have got knocked down if he wasn't so damn relaxed

them mountains are 450ft max at the peaks.

its the same as when JC put Eubank on his ass. its the first round you are cold and you prob hav not taken a full force hit to the face in 7 months.
i think he would have gone down where ever the fight was held in cardiff it would have been UD not SD

[warrior85]

he was just over eager in my opinion.

[PH|LLA]

according to that chart 2000 feet takes less than a couple of minutes to acclimatise to

Hopkins once fought at over 9000 feet with less than 4 days acclimatisation time

+ it looks like u made it in paint :D

[nervousxtian]

Umm.. no.

[Nalian]

according to that chart 2000 feet takes less than a couple of minutes to acclimatise to
Yeha to acclimatise so that your not in a state of ataxia, it wasnt a balance/cordination affeting graph, was merely there to show the relation between balance and altitude which IMO was a major factor in the fight.

We're not talking about high-altitude illness here Pharoe which is what the graph is about, otherwise we'd have people dieing all over the place.

You fail at posting threads.

[Relentless]

agreed.

Would Hatton have still fallen down?

[Relentless]

yes he would have, hatton is shorter than calzaghe.

[Nalian]

yes he would have, hatton is shorter than calzaghe.

Interesting theory. Might spark a new post off me regarding the relationship between height-and punch resistance.

[Relentless]

also notice calzaghe's hair was shorter than other fights, the aerodynamics caused him to go down so fast.

[WelshintheUS]

It didnt help that Bernard rushed him after the punch to ensure that he went down.
Calzaghe ate a harder punch at the end of the 7th? and kept his footing.

I've seen him do that a few times

:rofl:rofl:rofl

Thanks for the laugh man! :good

[Taylex]

I think BHOP used the same excuse for his knock-down in Ecuador!!

[BigReg]

This thread reminds me of the epic thread Blocky started yesterday.

[Only registered and activated users can see links] Calzaghe was already losing his footing when Hopkins went the only way he could have gone - moving along with his punch... I believe Hopkins hit him hard at the end of the seventh but just on the bell as Joe "slapped" his way in. Don't know what would happen if it wasn't right at the end but Bernard showed that he could not follow up many of his crisp counters.

Have fun with that idea that defies logic:lol: :lol:
I don't think there could be a bigger Joe nuthugger thread on this entire site(I probably should've checked first)
It's no matter now Joe has beaten 3 good fighters instead of 2 in 45 fights WOW I'm amazed.....he fought an old hero on the brink of Social Security now he's your hero?:lol: :lol: :lol:
If Joe had any balls he'll fight any of the following:
Roy Jones Jr.
Kelly Pavlik
Edison Miranda
Chad Dawson
Antonio Tarver
Adrian Diaconu
Mikkel Kessler
Lucien Bute
Glen Johnson

anyone else means shit and that means Slopkins

I would rather have my dick chopped off with a butterknife than to watch Hopkins ever fight again:nono

thats alot for a 37 year old man to do, oh what were hopkins' best wins? tito, de la hoya, winky? thats only 3!:lol:

[anderslundgaard]

2000 ft is roughly 667 meters = means pretty much nothing even if he had only been in Vegas for 1 day.

[Tunney5]

It was a combination of push and knockdown. Hopkins is a tricky old coot.

[Zerwas1]

according to that chart 2000 feet takes less than a couple of minutes to acclimatise to

Hopkins once fought at over 9000 feet with less than 4 days acclimatisation time

+ it looks like u made it in paint :D

Was that the Segundo Mercado fight? He was knocked down twice in that fight but the much better fighter
