Joe did win the fight clearly! That being said the fanatics of either fan has been shameful! Hopkins fans have made a million threads about this and that, and a pile of other crap. While Calzaghe's finds have countered with their own crap. The whole thing has been messy, much like the fight!
joe totally won that fight...sad to admit as i was rooting for hopkins in the match....but joe has definately hit my top 3 p4p rankings

I had it for Joe just. But now that I think about it Joe just gave the 'perception' of doing more with 1000 inaccurate sloppy slaps. But I cant recall Joe landing more than 3 or 4 clean punches on Hopkins the entire fight.
i personally wrote a congradulations to calzaghe thread that no 1 even bothered to read damn if i bash the man i'd get a thousand negative post.when i'm man enought to praise him and give him props no reply???strange
I'm was not a Hopkins fan before the fight, I scored the fight 6-6, but now I'm a Hopkins fan. Calzaghe maybe the best out there for now, but he is not a class act, the way he showboat during a fight is disgusting.
Plenty of Hopkins fans have said that they scored it for Calzaghe. And for that matter, quite a few Calzaghe fans said they scored it for Hopkins, or that it was extremely close and could have gone either way.
Joey won a points victory apparently but fought like limited fighter because that is what he is ... punches like a woman (throws like a complete non-athlete) and is a full step below guys like Toney, Jones, Hopkins, etc. Watch his fights and you'll see .... He's Joey in the plastic bubble ... way overrated. This is ESB ... there is a majority of 'white' posters particularly from Europe ... if we had a vote of greatest humans ... Hitler would rake in the votes around here ... so you can be sure that if ESB votes Calslappy as 'great' he is actually merely 'decent' - at best.
Both fighter are shot IMO. There are allot of BHOP fans who think that JC is in his prime but was made to look amateurish by the old master. In fact JC is over the hill now and lost some power by moving up to LHW.
Some of Joe's fans want to submit that he's now 'shot' or 'over the hill' - that's complete and utter bull****. He's always been overrated, always punched like a chick, never had any real power because he's not a great athlete ... simple revisionism .... he looked like a limited fighter against Hopkins at 43 because that is what he is and has always been.
If he is limited how did make the fight so close and why was BHOP so tired that he faked a low blow? I am not even a JC fan but I have watched him for years and he is on the slide since the Bika fight I would say but he is clever and knows how to take a fight on points.
The same 10th round where Hopkins blatantly cheated by taking time out? You can't be a good sport - neither could Hopkins.
