    Funny....BHOP would have been KO by Calzaghe if not for his oscar moment low blow acting.

    No. I thought he beat Taylor in the second fight, which was a bit of anti climax. Also, I thought he did next to nothing for the first few rounds against Taylor in their first fight.

    It's not whether Calzaghe beat Hopkins, it's how much he beat him by. Hopkins feined injury and looked to hold as the fight wore on. Calzaghe pushed the fight deserved the nod.

    The thing is bhop kind of avenged his losses.

    1) JT beat him twice and Hopkins beat pavlik very decisivley.

    2) RJJ got beaten by Tarver twice and Hopkins beat him pretty badly.

    3) He split decisioned Calzaghe so i'd leave that as it is cuz that was a very very good performance since no1 else could do that to him.

    the one man thats left i think is left for hopkins to beat up and avenge that final loss is CLINTON MICHELL. this guy someone who needs to give hopkins a rematch. He's a cab driver but who cares???

    I'd like to see Hopkins v Taylor III, at LHW.

    I think he lost pretty clear to Calzaghe, his output just dropped too much middle to late for me to award him the rounds.

    I think he deserved at least a win and a draw out of the Taylor fights. At the VERY least 1-1.

    I agree. Hopkins held too much against Calzaghe as well.

    In his close fights, I had Hopkins losing to Jones 116-112, I had him losing the first Taylor fight 115-113, I had him winning the Taylor rematch 116-112, and I had him edging out Calzaghe 114-113.

    So I guess I would have him at 51-3-1 based on your criteria. Not sure it effects his legacy at all. He was never dominated inside the ring, and is clearly one of the best fighters to ever lace up the gloves.

    Why not pretend Hopkins is 55-0? That sounds awesome.

    Well, his only clear-cut loss was the Jones fight, unless his pro-debut loss was as well and the judge who had it even was being unreasonable. Assuming that fight was as close as the scorecards suggest, Hopkins could be 54-1 if he were a judges' darling, like, say, Ali.

    Calzaghe isn't knocking anyone out, period.

    Everybody in the world know Hopkins lost to Calzaghe, even people who score it for Hopkins are doing it on pure hate for Joe.
