Hopkins had to use ever dirty trick in the book to stay in his fight with Calzaghe.
I know it was a split desion but I though JC won by a clear 4 or 5 rounds.
I know it will piss some people off but B-Hop is making Calzaghe's win look better with every fight.;D
This is very true! Joe definitely won and it was not easy when your fighting a spoiler like Hopkins.
Shame he didnt fight froch. But then he wanted to keep his o.

I'm aware of who got the decision, but I've watched it a couple of times and I always have Hopkins winning by a round. I don't want to start an old debate though, I was just being a jackass.Quote:

The victory does look very good for Calzaghe, regardless of how disputed it was.
i had B-Hop beating the coke snorter by about 3 or 4 points (including the extra point for the knockdown), so all B-Hop's wins do is go on to show how the only way he ever really "loses" a fight is if the judges decide to screw him over and take if from him, like they did in his fights against Taylor and Calzaghe ;)
I had Hopkins beating slapsy Joe. Butt hey, fair enough. Maybe Hopkins will let him ride in his limo at the HOF induction
Btw Segundo Mercado beat Hopkins up worse then any other. Somewhere he was yelling at the tube lastnight ;D
Check this out for pure nerdness. In Hopkins last 9 fights he landed LESS on Calzaghe than any other fighter ( for the record - Calzaghe hit him more than any othr fighter too).
This is Hopkins punches landed.
Hopkins - Taylor 130/317 (35%)
Hopkins - Tarver 133/417 (32%)
Hopkins - Winky 152/640 (24%)
Hopkins - Calza 127/468 (27%)
Hopkins - Pavlik 172/530 (32%)
Hopkins - Ornel 205/497 (41%)
Hopkins - Jones 185/526 (35%)
Hopkins - Pascal 171/445 (38%)
Hopkins - Pascal 131/409 (32%)
Fact.

wouldn't call it much of a win, a decision sure, but no win, he wont be remembered that poor undefeated fellow
