Why wasn't Calzaghe given more credit for his wins against RJJ and Hopkins?

    I still feel Hopkins deserved the victory even if just by a point.

    I thought BHop edged it but close enough it could go either way though.

    Not parroting anything if you know my post history. Mitchell's split decision loss to Ottke was controversial with many feeling Mitchell should have won. An SD for Ottke in Germany is not a great indication of a 'exemplary boxing lesson' . That said, I'd need to watch the contest again, I've seen it for donkeys.

    I don't think anyone disputes that Otkke should have lost to both Brewer and Reid though that I have seen
