    Calzaghe clearly beat Hopkins. Hopkins fans cant accept that Hopkins lost, but he did.
    Calzaghe landed more solid shots as well as flapping at times. Calzaghe outlanded Hopkins. Hopkins is known for his strong finishes but look at the facts, if Hopkins thought he was winning he wouldnt have been faking injury, looking for time out and holding like he did, whilst Calzaghe finished very strong.
    Calzaghe beat Hopkins at a new weight Calzagehe hadnt fought before, in America with 3 American judges. It was only a SD as the judge that scored for Hopkins gave Hopkins round 11 a round Joe clearly won. The other 2 judges didnt even have it close and scored wide for Calzaghe.

    Calzaghes win looks better and better.

    Clear Calzaghe win, accept Hopkins lost and move on

    yo bailey, even you must of been impressed yesterdays performance by the old man. Especially after looking gassed in his last couple of fights RJJ II, Ornelas and Calzaghe fights.

    To be honest, after yesterday I have to give Calzaghe some respect for winning the last half of their fight, Hopkins was on top against Pascal in the last 6 rounds, and also in RJJ I, Taylor I and II. So for Calzaghe to be the only man to stay there in the last remainder of the fight vs Hopkins is not a bad achievement.

    But as you already know Hopkins 114 113 Calzaghe.

    A couple of things about the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight. Firstly I thought Hopkins won but Calzaghe should be proud of his performance. He fought very hard.

    Hopkins had a thyroid problem before this fight which could explain why he didn't win as impressively as the Pavlik fight for example.

    Hopkins refused to use his thyroid problem as an excuse, he said it was his activity was too little.

    When Roach was asked what was the difference between the Hopkins that fought Calzaghe and the one that fought Pavlik, he said it was the thyroid problem.

    This was just one of the reasons Calzaghe didnt want the rematch in Cardiff.

    Just so we're clear. You believe any boxer who doesn't make the top 70 atg is a joke? So of all the countless boxers to ever step in the ring, you only respect 70 of those?
