    Yeah, if all you have to do is flail your arms about what's the point of even calling it a sport?

    If Calzaghe was not afraid of another fight Bernard would walk him down and knock him out in rematch.

    He does hold too much. I think he should have won a close decision though.

    Considering how much regard people hold Hopkins' boxing brain in, it's kinda suprising that he never thought of doing that the first time...

    Yeah...How a legend like B-Hop let a "WHITE BOY" *****-slap him for 12 rounds is beyond me. You think he'd just step in while white boy is ***** slapping, and just KHTFO! :yep
    Calzaghe never held much either, and was pretty much right infront of B-Hop to do it. I just can't understand...

    Yeah I've changed my mind after seeing those 15 punches landing, Hopkins was robbed.

    I'm a big hopkins fan but calzaghe would most likely just beat him quicker if they had a rematch.

    No, but the fight would be quicker because Joe would be on the canvas wondering how a 44 yr old just stopped him.

    When you're the only one landing solid punches you probably figure you're winning. Doesn't matter. Bernard is going for KO"s now instead of safety first.

    That's 15 more punches than Calzaghe landed the whole fight!

    We're basing this on the one fight he's had since when he didn't knock out a guy who spent the whole 12 rounds walking straight towards him saying "please punch me in the face Mr Hopkins, sir"?

    Not to mention head-butting and missing.
