Hidden Content IN CASE THEY ALL FORGOT WHAT REAL HEAVYWEIGHT POWER WAS!!!
Hopkins won the fight IMO and he also got exposed for his lack of defense.
Congrats to calzaghe, i was hoping hopkins would be a bit more active but he wasnt. I picked hopkins if he was to be a little more active then usual but i always knew if he wasnt then calzaghe would win and he did. No spite or anything for me, hopkins should of lost a ud not a sd.
I will admit that I've never been a Joe fan.
I didn't think he'd beat Lacy.
I didn't think he'd beat Kess.
I didn't think he'd beat Hopkins.
After he beat Kess, he earned my respect. He showed the skill and class this dudes got. THrowing punches in bunches and fighting like an animal.
For this fight I just thought that Hopkins style was all too wrong for him and that Hopkins with his hug, jab, hug, hug, jab, hug, straigh right miss, hug, lunge, hug style would not allow Joe to do his work.
Now Joe has escalated in my books as one of the best fighters of my generation and he truely deserves the praise. I need to really think about the possible future matchups for him.

Some of you need to take your head out of you know what...
Just because you were saying Hopkins would win doesnt make you blind to the obvious fact that Calzaghe won......talking to the ray charles above
Even though I think Calzaghe won, I was more impressed with Hopkins. He is one of the most crafty and skilled fighters of all time. I think the playing out the low blows was because he knew it was a close fight and he wanted Cortez to take a point from Joe. Even though he lost, he was as dirty as ever and as brilliant as ever.

Im not a big fan of either man and i wern't really picking either man to win i was 50-50 on the fight. Hopkins landed the cleaner better blows and won the first 4 rounds clearly IMO and plus lets not forget the 10-8 round, then he won another 2 rounds making it 114-113 to Hopkins.
So because b hop hurt cal on two occasions he should have won the fight....right. There is now way you can win a fight only landing half as much as your opponent doesn't matter if they're harder shots or not really.
No i didn't i said Hopkins by controversial decision, and i also said Calzaghe by decision as well. I changed my mind on the fight plenty of times i didn't favor any boxer. But i seem to remember you saying Calzaghe would dominate this fight and didn't i tell you it would comeback to haunt you ??
First of all no he didn't clearly win the first 4 rounds...The second was a draw at best..the fourth was definitely a Calzaghe round as also mentioned by all commentators as a turning round of the fight.
So a punch at the end that pushes Jc back wins a round? after having been taking combinations throughout it?
And noway did hopkins win the 11th..the guy was tiring all thru the later rounds...
He took 5 mins...i mean a full 5 mins faking a low blow...pathetic really
