    Both Klitschkos are great I have nothing against them. I find Vitali more watchable now but I prefer a younger Wlad he was a beast before the ko losses made him safety-first. I love seeing him jab it's just that he looks so awkward when clinching lol. I don't know why he paws so much either as he has arguably the best jab in the game. Some may feel Vitali is fading but I'll watch his fight with Sosnowski myself and see what I think about that.

    Sorry, but there was no robbery. It's like Williams/Martinez--Only a robbery if you like the guy who lost or don't like the guy who won. Could go either way. It has to be a reasonably clear win for the guy who lost in order to count as a robbery.

    Hopkins fought like a ***** and didn't do anywhere near enough to win the rounds he needed to. It was probably his age combined with Calzaghe's workrate, but let's not forget this is an aging Calzaghe with totally shot hands, so the excuses balance each other out.

    Hopkins lost. I think he lost by a point or two, but I won't complain if people ha it a draw. Scoring it a win for Hopkins is a bit of a stretch, imo.

    Why would u compare sergio vs paul williams that was a war and both guys were landing shots now i felt sergio won and paul got him in later rounds sergios stamina seemed to be effected by the weight but besides that not the point. This is a fight where the oldman took the youngster to school and couldnt land anything on him Bernard counterpunched held when needed to and was able to execute the right hand and tag bodyshots when needed. Again with the holding excuse u think bernard only fighter in history that ever used holding? As the older man its something u must do to control the pace to fight to your pace and control it and not let the youngster with faster hands control it.

    lol now he has hand problems? tough alot of fighters have them. Floyd Mayweather jr has had hand problems too do u see neone make any excuses for him?No its his own damn problem. Calzaghe had no problem beating the **** out of roy jones jr now though did he why couldnt he do that to b hop?Because bernards a slick technician with a great defense. Nor did roy have any veteran tricks up his sleeve he let cal control the pace he didnt have a defense and he got beatup hand problems my ass.

    Only a fool could or would score that fight for calzaghe after watching those videos. anyone who says otherwise is a ****ing dumb ****. And if they believe joe won, ,maybe they should make a video showing why.

    Those videos do make the fight look closer after watching it the first time. But Calzaghe still won it and only a nitwit would cry robbery. Scoring it for Hopkins isnt insane but crying robbery is.

    this video proves what i've been saying all along. compubox is fake and designed to sway viewers into believing who HBO wants to win the fight is actually winning it. hopkins out lands calzaghe in this fight despite throwing much more punches. anyone who gives hopkins 3 rounds or less is an idiot. he dominate the first 3 rounds, dominated round 7, 9, 10, and all the other rounds were close. even if you give all the close rounds to joe, he still loses. you would have to give joe rounds that hopkins won for him to have a chance. and harold letterman and jim lampley are bitches.

    Yeah and 2 out of 3 judges thought Calzaghe won including most press, HBO, Kellerman, Lampley, Steward, Saad Muhamed, there was an article asking 9 experts one being Steward and another being S Muhamed and all had Joe winning Fact :deal

    You see even a nuthugger scored round 11 to Calzaghe a clear Joe round which the one bias judge scored for Hopkins :patsch
