    I can tell you one thing I'm glad HBO put this fight for free. Because I figured they realized that he wont fool them anymore with his performances

    Both Calzaghe and Hopkins have ATG ring generalship but I am still shocked that nobody ever beat Hopkins in a one sided affair. Calzaghe and Jones Jr are both legend for beating him "close but clear winner". Honestly, Hopkins can still beat a lot of 160-175 fighter, id like to see him fight Miranda, that would be fun.

    i dont want to see hopkins fight again. he did his best to stink up the fight with his ruiz impression. i hate to watch these fights were the ref allows this tactic... ie mayweahter, ruiz, klitschko, hopkins.

    worst hugger klit

    i choose Hopkins cause Ruiz does what he does cause he cant do anything other than what he does,Hopkins is diferent he just chooses to be boring and takes caution to the limit.

    wtf, exposed? you make it sound like hopkins is a fraud..:rofl Is hopkins not class to you? He is clearly an ATG. The clinching or hugging as you called it is a tactic to neutralize the tempo and attack phase, as calzaghe is doing a lot of combos with his handspeed. But i do agree it is boring, worst hugger of all. Well, i think its a tie

    Exposed? 43 Years old and has an argument to claim he won the fight. Sorry but you are too easily throwing the word exposed around here...
