    to be fair mate,a couple of those 10-9's were 10-10's,but because he came to fight he gets the decision for me.

    I lost track but I had it Bernard by a point or a draw. It could have gone either way but I thought Hopkins landed the much, much cleaner blows throughout and noticably stunned Joe a few times, once to the body as well.

    Calzaghe landed almost jack although he did outwork Hopkins often down the stretch.

    One thing I will say, I thought this was a very good fight. Some people thought it was ugly but i was entertained the whole time.

    Hopkins is an incredible guy...so fast for an old man...

    Fight was clearly Calzaghe's but those who are saying Joe won 10 and 11 rounds are more lunatic than the the guys who say they had Hopkins winning.

    JC won the fight, wasnt even close really, hopkins got out pointed, doesnt matter who punches hardest, thats how boxing works for those that dont seem to know.....
    I dont care for JC that much really, he doesnt hit hard enough until he sits down on his punches like with Lacey, but he won the fight no question.

    Why do we need a poll?...Calzaghe won by clear decision...That ***** judge was trying to steal the victory from Joe. I could only give 2 rounds to Bhop...3 maybe and thats being generous. The people who voted for Bhop are either blind or delusional.

    It was a close fight but hoppkins was the champ and i dont think calzaghe did enough to take the title . The one judge scoring 116 to 111 was way off the mark ,hopkins looked to have cleaner shots and threw them when needed as aposed to calazaghe who was all ways on the offensive and throwing as many punches as he could and alot of them didnt look like they had much behind them and hopkins brushed them off.But it was a good fight and hope to see calazaghe fight some more good oponents.

    Calzaghe won 115-112 (beeing generous to bernard), I rooted for Hopkins but he started loosing rounds when Joe put some distance between to avoid holding. I cant see how someone would think Hopkins won. Yes Joe slaps but he slapped his way to victory and thats a fact.
