    If it was say Floyd or Oscar or any big money, big payday fighters for example, not Hopkins(theoretically etc), in the ring and the match panned out exactly the way as it did; would Joe have still been given the decision?

    I think a lot more people would be complaining about the decision, if it was Floyd. But, if Oscar managed a split decision, i think Calzaghe would have gotten the nod.

    I think Joe won but Bernard was going to retire and has never been able to generate revenue. Personally I think a big money boxer sways the decision easy.
