    Please explain how you scored any of these rounds to Hopkins - 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11 or 12

    I had it 1 point for Calzaghe but I am a big Joe fan. If i was fair, i might have scored it even or 1-2 points for Hopkins.

    And it continues!
    (Froch saying very weird stuff)

    Still likes him as a fighter, but it's been a while I dont take what he says for granted.

    Each SD he had (Dirrell and Johnson, which I think he won btw) he ***** about the judge and now the fact that Calzaghe and Hopkins is a SD means something...

    Bailey we cant go through your biased cut-paste post again.
    You point one scorer card where theres a big difference and use that as some kinda of point when- the judges did not all agree on a winner- they were divided , Joe did not win a unanimous decision.

    How dare one judge not agree- you then proceed to go on some kinda witch hunt on the judge for that reason/
    The facts are that a lot of fans media pro boxers and even official judge did not think that Joe won, Bhop did not think so either , obviously.

    Bhop was quite ready for a rematch, Joe woulnt risk it and that ends it all basically. Bhops back on top and Joes fled.

    I can't remember the rounds specifically but what i do remember is that Hopkins, while not having the work rate of the younger Joe, was messing him about good for the whole fight.
    I remember at the end of the fight thinking Hopkins had nicked it.
    It was a close fight, that cannot be denied. Froch is within his rights to say he thought Hopkins won.

    I would of picked Hopkins to win a rematch.

    Froch is hardly impartial where Calzaghe is concerned. He was calling him out long before he deserved to share a ring with him. It's probably good for him he never got the fight, I'd favour retiring era Calzaghe vs this Froch, vs the inexperienced Froch of 06/07 he wipes the floor with him.

    Froch is a hater on Calzaghe

    He will never amount to anything. Calzaghe had no reason to fight him. Ever. He was unproven at the time (still is) Calzaghe retired, it would have meant nothing for Joe's legacy.

    Calzaghe beat Hopkins in the USA in a close fight with a clear winner. The fact that he got the decision here, in the USA (currently the worst major boxing country in terms of unfair decisions against foreigners) ends the discussion.

    That's all well and good but he still thinks Hopkins beat him.

    the part I best remember about the fight is Calzaghe winning.

    That and hopkins feigning injury whenever the fight started moving at a pace that was too fast for him.
