    Several people believe Hopkins won the fight, so your claim is fallacious

    Said it all when people from Hopkins team suggested retirement after the way he lost.
    Said it all that he seemed to be looking for timeout and possibly points deducted.
    Notice how Hopkins hasnt tired against all these other younger fighters before or after Calzaghe :lol:

    . I understand that Hopkins is an American legend that people want to see as an iconic figure. America love a reformist and Hopkins as a former armed robber turned world champ is just the story that wins Americas hearts but...

    1. Calzaghe landed more than 100 punches than Hopkins throughout the fight.
    2. Contrary to what people want to believe, Calzaghe also made Hopkins miss more
    3. All round punch percentages, Calzaghe finished ahead of Hopkins
    4. Calzaghe outlanded Hopkins in every round
    5. A Byrd who scored for Hopkins. Type in Adalaide Byrd in Google and see what comes up for yourself, still here are some little things for you to look at
    a. A Byrd was the only judge out of the 3 scoring judges that had Mack ahead against Cloud
    b. The K Pavlik - A Lopez fight was scored 98-92, 99-91 by the other 2 judges, A Byrd scored it 95-95
    c. A Byrd was one of the judges that had Morales a 4 point loser against Maidana
    d. In the S Aydin vs S Ouali fight, the other 2 judges scored clearly for Aydin. Byrd scored for Ouali
    e. The J Almaraz/C Tyler fight was scored a Maj-Dec all because of one judge, guess which? A Byrd
    f. The A DeMarco/J Reyes fight was a SD. Guess who the odd judge out was? A Byrd.
    g. The R Torres - M Arnaoutis fight was a close fight, a point either way to 2 judges but a wide result scored by Byrd
    h. In the A Pryor Jr/D Stanislavjevic SD, guess who the odd judge out was? You guessed it... A Byrd
    i. The W Ferguson/J Lopez SD, guess who the odd judge out was? You guessed it... A Byrd

    I think thats enough for you to get the picture with Byrd. Remember the other 2 judges scored clearly for Calzaghe

    6. Calzaghe beat Hopkins in America, at a new weight with 3 American judges and Cortez as ref.
    7. Calzaghe scored the single highest score card against Hopkins ever at that time 116-111.
    8. The 2 judges that scored for Calzaghe agreed on 9 of the rounds
    9. Calzaghe landed more on Hopkins than anyone ever.




    Now I know there will be a flood of people coming on here noting Hopkins scoring a flash KD in the first round, and I agree that Hopkins did win a few rounds even when he didnt land as often, but people are mad if they think Calzaghe won on workrate, Calzaghe won because he was able to land his left more often than Hopkins could land his right.
    Calzaghe finished the stronger and took away the moments Hopkins likes down the stretch.
    Other thoughts, If Hopkins thought he was winning, do you think he would have been looking for time out and would bother trying to get points deducted off of Calzaghe, of course he wouldnt, Hopkins knew he was losing.

    What I do note is that nobody seems to mind Hopkins lost to Taylor. In the first Hopkins/Taylor fight, Jermaine was badly hurt and Hopkins looked the stronger at the end, yet it seems to upset alot of these people that Calzaghe beat Hopkins. Appears very biased.

    Have you checked Box rec lately?

    I think the reason we believe it, is because 3 judges decided that he won the fight, so he won the fight.

    Maybe you should check the rules of boxing, then come back.

    It may be your opinion that Hopkins beat Calzaghe, But its FACT that Calzaghe won the fight.

    Compubox find. 95% of fighters who throw more and land more, win the fight. Merchant said it years ago on a telecast. Just a correlation.

    It was a close fight, in such cases the guy who receives the decision is usually remembered as the victor.

    he did edge out 43 year old Hopkins, yes, as the supposed greatest achievement of his career - just edging out a 43 yr old. It was a terrible fight that showed up his technical deficiencies but his younger mans stamina shone profusely through to marginalise his loss of the first half of the fight.

    He did win. He made adjustments and had Bernard faking an injury to regain his wind.

    Pavlik was favored and thought to be a career-ending fight for Hopkins primarily based on how bad Calzaghe made Bernard look. Speed's always been Hops' kryptonite.
