    Roy has some good defenses. Both guys ducked each other in a sense. Btw Calzaghe didn't have the judges in his favour because guess what he fought on away soil for both of those fights. He just won them fair and square.

    I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then :)

    They were the ONLY fights he fought away from home
    It was obvious Cortez was told to favor Calzaghe so were the judges

    How did Cortez favour Calzaghe? He broke up clinches? He called BHop out on bs stalling tactics? I don't get what your line of thinking is at all.

    That low blow (slap) was blatant there was no stalling. Plus Joe didnt score too many LEGAL scoring punches did he ?

    I agree. People who thought Hopkins beat Calzaghe probably did not know how to score the fight.

    Yeah, concerned and glad I have no clue what boxing insights he had back then.

    Well that's total nonsense. He scored a lot more than BHop did.
