In an interview with the Telegraph,Joe said there were some decisions he got he shouldnt have got.'It doesnt matter anymore,the important thing is I was undefeated.'He also metioned he wont be coming back to boxing because his boy was crying and vomiting (like Ricky Hatton's girlfriend when he got knocked out by Floyd Mayweather) when Jones knocked him down.He's also said he was struggling with training (which explains why he couldnt make weight in his last fight with Jones)

You have caught the wrong end of the stick here. He wasn't referring to ref decisions.

If he ever was it is surely the Reid fight he is referring to, none of this other fights were really close. Hopkins is debateable by the minority but clear to the majority.

Also he made weight against Jones without any real problem?

Not only did he have issues with training, the hand injury has gone too far at this stage and this is an injury he had ALL his career. His hands weren't 100% for his last few fights and not close but he had to push through it which explains why he didn't commit to power punching much. In his earlier days you can easily see he had more power, hell he was the one to rock Lacy(who had a granite chin) in the very FIRST round when everyone(including myself) thought Joe would be knocked out in the first round..

He's better off out of it, glad to know he's not mentioning any issues with money and is living well. Best of luck and I HOPE he doesn't return, too old for it and too vulnerable, if he doesn't NEED to then there's no reason to come, he's already accomplished regardless of the criticism I and others have towards him and his career. His naturally ability can't be denied.

Yah, like the HOPKINS fight where his dad told him in the 11th round, "WTF are you doing out there", "you need a knockout"! In the first 7 rounds i can count on two hands how many clean punches joe landed and he got knocked down.

Im much more of a Hopkins fan than a Calzaghe fan, and I believe Joe won that fight. I don't know of any decisions Joe got that he didn't deserve. I cant imagine he would think so.

A decent, well-balanced post on a subject I thought had warped your mind.

Welcome back.

And the rest of the post is fiction as well.

Ive watched the Hopkins fight 4 times. Ive still scored it for Joe every time.

The talk of Joe not landing a clean punch is bunk. Joe was actually THROWING punches, while Hopkins was grabbing, clutching, pushing, and landing about 1 clean right hand for every 20 punches Joe threw

Sure, Calzaghe didnt catch Hopkins with banging powershots, but he certainly hit him at a far higher connect percentage, even if the punches were wild. On top of that, Hopkins workrate was ridiculously low, and he was visibly tired in the later rounds and fighting dirty as hell. Calzagge was the one actually slinging leather, not clutching his ball sack in mock pain and then banging elbows during a tie up.

Calzaghe won the fight.
