Anyone believe BHOP should be 52-2-1?

    I think its the opposite. Although I had Taylor winning both fights you could make a case for a draw in the first one. With Calzaghe it was a clear 9-3 at worst 8-4 for Calzaghe.

    Lets put it this way Calzaghe dominated almost every round in terms of the output, so if you want to give Hopkins any of those rounds you have to give him on the basis of clean punching, for example Calzaghe's punches 24/70 landed, Hopkins 5/12 landed but those 5 were clean so you give Hopkins the round out of pity. In Taylor fights Hopkins was actually outlanding Taylor in some rounds.

    It would enhance his ATG status as it would obviously mean less losses, I never seen either of the Taylor fights in full but I thought Calzaghe won a close - tho difficult to judge - fight over him.

    Hop is still one of the best ever anyway & will go down as such IMO.
