    Whats so nonsensical about it? Bernard Landed the harder and much more effective punches, Calzaghe was missing the majority of his punches,they werent even landing,It was a complete robbery

    Im sure if my memory serves me correctly that Calzaghe landed over a hundred more punches than Hopkins.... correct me if I am wrong.

    His flurrie of slaps made the judges think he was landing the punches,when he actually wasnt....like i siad go check a highlight of the fight U see clearly in slow motion hes barely landing anything,if he was landing all those punches why at the end of the fight Bernard looked exactly the same before the fight started and Calzaghe ended the fight with a busted and Bloodied nose?? U can clearly saw he lost that fight

    Hopkins didn't throw anywhere near enough shots to win a fight, it was a shocking fight and its a case of who landed more, and round after round, Calzaghe landed more shots than Hopkins.

    :patsch

    You actually think all them names are all time greats?
    In my opinion he is up there with all the names you listed in the A class. If Calzaghe isn't amongst them then neither should Hopkins, Barrera, Morales or even Mayweather (yet).

    If he was landing all the punches like the compubox says,why was Bernard so unscathed at the end of the fight? Ill say it again Calzaghe was not connecting at all wit his punches,B-hop landed the more effective blows,Bernard won that fight

    I agree, some of the video I have seen, it looks like Calzaghe is using an invisible peck deck machine!
    :happy

    So, if BHOP loses a split decision to someone in the next year or two, this decision loss will mean that that fighter is an 'A' fighter because he will have managed to get an official win over an OLD AS **** ATG?

    LOL.
