    Big fan of Both, but Calzaghe vs Hopkins wasnt close.

    Joe won this by a really long distance , after a knockdown and maybe three cagey rounds after it was all Joe.

    Toney vs Tiberi was shocking , Toney was beaten on the inside , outside , everywhere. Tiberi never fought again.

    it was close. Hopkins was winning until he gassed out due to being 40 plus.

    it is however unique in that its the only fight in that list where a guy who was the dominant one in his division was nearly beat by a 40something.

    I thought broner malignaggi was maybe broners by a point but he should have been deducted a point so a draw coulda been fair
    thought lara might a won by a point too
    Hopkins calzaghe coulda been close or a wide for either guy bu i thought it might been a draw or a point by joe
    Thought marquez beat pacquio by a point a draw woulda been alright too
