    Not necessarily, but sure I get that it was a worse version. There was no real stolen blueprint. Ward did it in his own way, and in a much better way than Calslappy did.

    You always got to start something. Not getting a lot of fan-fare on this one, but then again who knows what you want. Not bad, trolling.

    And as another poster said, does that apply to all the other opponents Hopkins lost to, and at a much younger age than Calslappy?

    How do you know Calzaghe thought he lost? Anybody would look nervous in that situation. It was a close fight and Joe could have lost for the first time. How would you react?

    Enzo is always shouting and screaming. He was worked up throughout the Lacy and Kessler fights. Obviously in Hopkins fight things were more tense.

    Steward told Dawson he was losing so that Chad up his game. Enzo was doing the same.

    You said it, not me. And she had it 6-6.

    I had it same as Lederman: 9-3 for Calz.

    Calzaghe dominated from like the 4th round on. Hopkins only won like one round after. It was actually like Calz/Kessler: Once Calz found his rhythm, the fight was over.

    I was doing some research and actually found the facebook group that was saying the judge in question was racist...I found that far fetched though it was interesting with 3 American judges only 1 favoured the American fighter...

    Another excellent point. AND Calzaghe took on Hopkins -- at LHW -- after Hopkins absolutely tooled Tarver at 175.

    You achieve greatness through uncommon accomplishments. CAlzaghe's legacy is poor. He is not in anyway shape or form great.

    What Hopkins accomplished tonight is how you define greatness.
