This fight truly lived up to the Hagler-Leonard comparisons.

    Two past their prime champions clash in a close battle. I just think it's interesting as fights don't often live up to these kind of expectations.

    Might even be Legendary Nights worthy. :good

    Well.. about the Legendary Nights thing maybe.

    And I actually quite enjoyed the fight even with all the clinches and dirty tactics, but I just get a kick out of guys that pull it off so well.

    It was a good fight, but I don't think of it as a Legendary one for sure.

    John Ruiz falls in the category of someone who doesn't pull it off that well.. like Ricky Hatton for example. They just hug, punch, then hug again.

    Hopkins on the other hand.. am I the only one who got a kick out of it when Hopkins was clinching Calzaghe's back and hit him from behind? :lol:
