Taylors 2 wins vs BHOP or Calzaghes Win (Which is better)

all 3 couldve gone either way

 

calzaghe's win is better...look at the odds between pavlik-hopkins...it's 3-1 going 4-1...that's bec bhop is almost done in the last 4 rounds in the calzaghe fight

 

i think the odds had more to do with b-hop being 43 and pavlik being the 27 year old ko machine middleweight champ

 

He didn't gas. Quit bullshitting. Did he look gassed against Pavlik in the last 4 or 5 rounds? Even when he was on the offensive and working a lot harder and throwing more punches than he did in the JC fight?

No, he didn't. Did he look gassed against Winky the fight before? No, he didn't, and his work-rate was excellent in that fight.

The fact is Joe Calzaghe is an extremely adaptable fighter, he ****ed up badly in the first round, he struggled the next 3 or so but began to turn the tide, and by the mid-point of the fight he'd changed his gameplan and began to take a hold of the fight.

 

Hopkins was 'only' 39, nearer to his prime, undefeated in 12years and Taylor beat him which imo Calzaghe didn't, Hopkins was also inactive when Joe faced him

 

Taylor's for a number of reasons, not least of which is that he didn't run from a rematch.

 

Need a third option for "judges got all 3 wrong."

Calzaghes win was more impressive because he went to the states for the first time, and moved up in weight for the first time in a division where B-Hop has earned some impressive wins in his previous fights. Calzaghe had also probably faded a little himself when he beat him, unlike Taylor who was in him prime

 

but if the calzaghe fight had been an 8 rounder, i bet the odds would be almost even...calzaghe's performance was huge that time that it cause the betters to pick pavlik to win...they feel that bhop was really shot and bhop proved them wrong
