    he controlled the pace and had an answer for everything Calzaghe brought to the table. he arguably won the first 6 along with countless other rounds. lets not forget about the knock down in the first round too. you rarely saw Calzaghe even land clean. every time he threw a wild inaccurate flurry, Hopkins would tag him with a clean counter. this was a robbery.

    When Bhop starts faking injuries thats when you know the other guy is winning.

    We saw it against Dawson, just like with calzaghe.

    This is going to be an educational thread in which both sides thoughtfully consider each other's points in a most fruitful debate.

    I'm not British and didn't particularly like Calzaghe, but I thought he won on activity. B-hop made the fight difficult, but he just didn't do enough.

    It was only 12 rounds, I wouldn't really say thats countless....

    If it helps, a case can be made that Hopkins should have been seen as the winner.

    I'm American and I think Calzaghe won by at least a couple of rounds.
