Robin Reid vs Joe Calzaghe Who Won Come And Vote.

People keep starting threads about Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins, but i thought Robin Reid vs Joe Calzaghe was even more controversial. I believe they were dead even according to the punchstats which means, nothing in alot of cases.

But i think Joe Calzaghe had the better of it early on, then Robin Reid took over by coming forward. And landing solid right hands that were rocking Joe Calzaghe's head back, and landing solid body shots.

Once Robin Reid found his range with that right hand it was all Robin Reid, and i thought he won by a few points. I haven't got an exact scorecard i may do one later, but does anyone else agree ?

JOE CALZAGHE HAS NEVER BEEN BEATEN

I know this is hard for a lot of people to to get but this is FACT!! you can go through almost every boxer in history and find a controversial result or a number of them somewhere along the line, in fact I bet you could do that with almost every sport

Its a waste of time this thread is called "Re: Robin Reid vs Joe Calzaghe Who Won Come And Vote."

Joe Won Fact!

So i guess Evander Holyfield deserved a draw against Lennox Lewis in there 1st fight, or Pernell Whitaker derserved to lose to Jose Luis Ramirez ? Please stop using the record books argument its a weak arguement, and it doesn't sound like you have any real argument. That can convince me Joe Calzaghe deserved the nod against Robin Reid.

Im not saying this fight is in the same league as those fights above regarding controversy.

But people still are allowed to debate who they thought. Should of won this is a boxing forum after all and controversial decisions are part and parcel of discussions here, it sounds like your Joe Calzaghe fan boy. That can't handle people discussing one of Joe Calzaghe's controversial fights.

If you don't want to debate on the fight or you have that logic, don't bother replying its as simple as that really.

Believe it or not Ice, even a fighter of Calzaghe's calibre will have some tough fights throughout his career.

As sonny said, fact is Calzaghe won a close-ish fight fair and square. Naturally SOME people would have seen it for Reid.

Calzaghe says he BROKE his hand in the 4th round, which maybe acounts for him not beating Reid easier. ;)

Forgetting excuses and ETC can you give me a legit argument why Joe Calzaghe deserved to win ? im not dissing Joe Calzaghe, i just thought i would start this thread because people keep making Hopkins vs Calzaghe threads.

And i haven't actually heard many peoples opinions regarding this fight, so lets get some good debates going i've already gave my opinion above.

Calzaghe won a close fight. What argument do you want? :-\ You'll find yourself in the minority just like the people that thought Hopkins beat Calzaghe ;)

It was so long ago its not relavent.

All the great fighters have had fights where they looked bad and could have lost or far more commonly DID lose.

It says a lot about the greatness of a man when in order to criticise him and find his worst ever night in boxing you have to go back to 1999 and argue over a fight that he still won :rolleyes:

So no legit argument ? it sounds like you question yourself did Joe Calzaghe really win the fight. And this fight was much more controversial than Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Calzaghe.

Robin Reid was actually hurting Joe Calzaghe more so than i've ever seen, an opponent hurt Joe Calzaghe. I see Bilbo replying im sure he won't disappoint me, and he will give me an intelligent response why he thought Joe Calzaghe won.

I'm more interested in knowing if anyone has ever seen any of Robin Reid's porn flicks?

I've never found any but i'd love to see what he gets up to in them :cool:

I guess not ? damn Bilbo i praised you in my last post, and i thought you would give me some good legit points why Joe Calzaghe won ? so far im the only one that has given legit points, no one else so far.

I thought Calzaghe had the better of it early.. then Reid started landing the right hand.. then Calzaghe pulled it out down the stretch.

Is that a legit enough argument?

Is that ok?

Robin Reid also won his fair share in the later rounds, if i remember rightly Robin Reid clearly won the 10th, 11th, rounds. Most of Joe Calzaghe's punches were missing after the early rounds. And Robin Reid was rocking his head back with good accurate right hands.

Infact Joe Calzaghe was only landing mostly good body shots after the early rounds, Robin Reid was catching most of Joe Calzaghe's flurries on his gloves.

Calzaghe lost this fight i think he should be 44-2 now i think he lost to Reid and Hopkins.

It also further proves my point that he did indeed lose this fight, because 3 Joe Calzaghe fans have posted in this thread. And not one of them has really gave any legit reasons why Joe Calzaghe deserved to win.

BIG H has this fight now im sure he won't disappoint me like the other Joe Calzaghe fans ;)

Calzaghe should have rematched Reid and Hopkins both fights were really close and could have gone either way a true champ likes to prove that they can do better like Floyd Mayweather did vs Castillio and Barrera vs Juarez.
