    People try and make out that Hopkins landed all of these solid shots, but other than a solid shot at the end of round 7 after an illegal headbutt, Hopkins didnt land a great deal else. The shot that put Calzaghe down in round 1 wasnt a big power shot just well timed and caught Joe standing square on, but lets not pretend Calzaghe was hurt.
    People remember Hopkins shots because he pot shotted but didnt land more solid significant blows throughout, Calzaghe did.

    Alive and well? We're talking about a fight 30+ years ago.
