    thanks pal

    i have checked THAT

    seen that fight many times, calzaghe had 4 rounds over b-hop in my opinion.

    you might not like it.... b-hop certainly didn't like it.... but calzaghe won that fight fair and square. winky just plain lost.

    Yup and Whitiker didn't beat Chavez and Hagler didn't really beat Leonard, Holmes didn't really beat Spinks the 2nd time and Lennox didn't really beat Holyfield in their first fight, no matter how you scored it.

    Calzaghe,
    He made hopkins look like an old man.
    I found it hilarious.
    Calzaghe easily won the fight.

    fair enough I respect your opinion, however you are part of a very small minority if you think winky gave hopkins a better fight that joe.
    If a fighter loses a close decision it doesn't automatically mean it's a robbery, it was a close fight, which Joe won and the scorecards reflect this.

    Well judging and scoring is a democracy mate, majority rules.

    2 judges to 1.

    calzaghe won.

    same as this poll your running. the majority feel calzaghe gave Hop the tougher fight, the same way the majority of judges thought calzaghe beat hopkins

    Considering Joe beat Hopkins and Winky lost to him the poll should be closed.

    I think you really misunderstood me.

    Winky-Wright didn't beat Hopkins. Barely anybody thinks he did. In that respect Hopkins clearly won the fight.

    Whereas Calzaghe-Hopkins is debated and most people think Calzaghe won.

    Speaks it for itself as to who gave him a tougher night.

    also surely all this questioning adds weight to joe's victory. he beat a fighter who had just comprehensively beaten winky wright, a top ten pound for pounder at the time. hopkins then goes on to out box and out fight america's biggest white hope...kelly pavlik. whether it was a close fight between joe and b hop or not, he did something what many of his pre(and post)decesseors couldn't do.

    Yeah on this site. This a british based website. But 2%, I don't where you got those statistics from. The associated press, most ring side obserbvers, Dan Rafeal, Steve Bunce and even majority of fans who voted on espn.com thought Hopkins won.

    This isn't a British based website you ass. It was originally Eastern European and infact has more American members.

    Yeah, you asked everybody yourself where there from on this site. And if it's an eastern european website, than it's based mostly in europe, where Calzaghe is from. I think you understand.
