    I scored both Taylor fights even and the Calzaghe fight to Hopkins. It certainly seems unlucky that he should officially lose all three!

    i love hops but to me, he lost the taylor and JC fights very closely, im not saying they beat him in his prime obviously, but to me... they beat the Hopkins in front of them which is all they had to do.

    I think the JC fight was closer then the 2nd taylor fight and i can see how hopkins could have edged that fight especially with the first round knockdown

    That HBO fraud Taylor was beaten twice by Hopkins, but the suits got him the nod. Calzaghe won his fight with Hopkins.

    this is how i see it, hopkins vs taylor 1 bhop won the fight.yo boy ford gave jt the 12 rd wich was the rd bhop almost droped jermain, had he scored it for hopkins like the others did bhop would have won or at the very least got a draw.what pissed me off is after the fight ford watch that round over and said he made a mistake and that bhop did win that rd.

    so to me bhop won that fight and never should have been a rematch, then we seen what happend in hopkins winky fight ! bhop should have had 22 wins in a row after those fights.now in the joe and bhop fight, i thought bhop won the fight by the way i score fights, but i did not cry robbery when joe won.

    that fight could have went either way, and they way i know bhop might have loss was when i kept thinking damn bhop you need to do more caue it was to close.but joe won that fight !

    Why have you the Taylor fights linked with the Calzaghe fights.

    Where's the option to view Taylor's fights ONE way and Calzaghe's ANOTHER way?

    I had Taylor winning both times by a razor-thin margin (7-5).

    I could live with two draws or two razor-thin Bernard victories, or any combination thereof. Both fights were very close.


    Calzaghe won 10-2 or 9-3.

    8-4 at worst.

    While Bernard was able to kep it ugly and competitive, the result wasn't close.
     
  9. Bhop beat Taylor in both fight but because it went the distance and HBO was trying to hype Taylor up as boxing's next big thing, they robbed the legend. Being a Hopkins fan, I felt he won a close decision against Calzaghe but I'm won't argue Calzaghe winning because it was a very close fight

    My thoughts exactly. I wasn't overly impressed with JC but how the hell anyone thinks that BH won that fight, by doing little but hugging and feigning injury, is disturbing. Granted, the KD was impressive but that was his only high point.

    I really think that you could have hung the guys posters side by side and threw a dart blindfolded and got the winner that way.

    Hopkins was an embarrasment in the Calzaghe fight. Were you proud of the way he faked injury so often you could run adverts during a round and still not miss any action. If he had not acted such a ***** he would have got stopped not a ko but a ca cardiac arrest. I am constantly amazed at how you yanks overlook the way he bitched rolled and wimped out against Joe. He lost because he ****in deserved to lose.

    Gentlemen, honeslty, I was rooting for Hopkins against Calzaghe but that performance was no way enough to win a fight. I agree Calzaghe had trouble with landing clear shots, but he was way more active, Hopkins was far too defensive and tired at the end to win. Calzaghe deserved it more. It was either 115-112 or 114-113, but tell me, which 6 rounds would you give to B-Hop to win that fight.

    I understand it is difficult the accept, but yes, Calzaghe won and there was no controversy. Won a fight which Hopkins made him as difficult as he could with his strategy.

    And no, Hokpins is NOT SHOT. Perhaps he is not even past his prime. If he is past his prime Pavlik is garbage... which I don't think he is.

    As for the Taylor fights, I had the first either a draw or a 115-113 win for Taylor. The second was different, I gave that to Hopkins (115-113-) but a draw would have been also ok. Close fights.

    I think they both beat bhop. And Winky did, too.
