    Kalule Vs Kudo is very much the same thing for 15 rounds, just show Kalule's best moments.

    I enjoyed the result because I had big money on Calzaghe (& I like him better than Hopkins) but as a fight I thought it was terribly sloppy, the styles simply cancelled each other out I felt, Calzaghe hardly landed anything clean all night & Hopkins barely threw anything all night.

    I thought Calzaghe edged the fight on work rate, he pushed a pace that had Hopkins faking injury to get a rest & all in all landed more punches, I just felt it was an ugly fight to watch, I`ve only watched it twice, including when I watched it live.

    Me, I thought it was a very good fight... the major problem that that fight has when it comes to ranking great fights is that it is part of a trilogy & the other 2 fights in that trilogy are IMO the 2 best HW fights of all time.

    EMM vs Galindez. it's a tedious fight from round 1 to the end. but there enough eye-catching sequences that it would make for a decent highlight.

    And the Gregory fight.Just one sided methodical schooling for 15 rounds, i'm not sure Gregory landed more than 5 or 6 decent shots all fight, but he was tough enough to just hang in there getting thrashed.

    I don't think competitive controversial fights that happened to be awful to watch fit here.Something like Calzaghe hopkins needs to be seen in full or whats the point?The usual interest in returning to fights like that is to score them.
