    I can hardly bring myself to watch it again but I felt it was a close fight won by Calzaghe.

    it is a labour of love,and yes i deserve a medal for inficting this on ones self again,but none the less it re-affirms ones conviction of a clear calzaghe win.

    A draw is certainly a good option. Calzaghe had the upper hand in more rounds, but some have been really close from the low number of really good punches landing. The first 4 rounds Hopkins looked like the clear winner.

    While certainly not a Socratic representative, you've called this one correctly.

    The simple fact of the matter is; had Bernard not cheated the clock with all his B.S. in the middle rounds he wouldn't have lasted much longer. He was wore out, confused and resorted to underhanded tatics to stay in the fight.

    And, you can't feel bad for bringing this up again, people need to know the truth and that's Socratic.

    Calzaghe beat Hopkins, it was close but he should have had a UD 12 win instead of SD.

    The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains that I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time.

    i thankyou.
