    Oh please.

    The difference between Calzaghe/Hopkins against JMM/Pacquaio is that Hopkins completely shut off for eight rounds of the fight, Calzaghe visibly landed more although did so with a very ugly style and Hopkins was never able to put more than a few shots on him after Round 3 onwards.

    JMM controlled Pacquaio, made him fight his fight, beat him to the punch time and time again and was far more effective than him.

    Calzaghe vs Hopkins was a 116-112 decision, JMM vs Pacquaio should have been a 115-113 decision to Marquez

    Come on... Hopkins was soundly beaten at home turf (America) with an American referee and 3 American judges.
    All cards stacked in his favour and still he didn't do enough to get the victory.

    Pac vs JMM III was a robbery, Slappy vs B-Hop was a clear victory for Joe.

    I never understood how anyone scored that fight for Hopkins.

    I expect Nancy Popkins to drop by this thread and to express his outrage at the poll result.

    Joe Calzaghe clearly won his fight with Hopkins .

    I've watched it several times in HD and each time I've scored it 115-112 for Calzaghe.

    Hopkins almost had a asthma attack FFS. Calzaghe won that close but clear. It would've been a robbery of they gave it to old man river.
