Just watched this again on Youtube and it was so nice to see Calzaghe beat him.

As much as you have to respect Hopkins for how good a fighter he was, and how good a fighter he still is - he really is a classless piece of shit times. I mean, he LOST that fight quite clearly IMO, and he couldn't even so much as give Calzaghe an ounce of credit.

He used his head like a battering ram, shamelessly stalled for time after two soft, unintentional low blows, then threw several of his own intentionally when Cortez was blind sided and he generally fought in a 'one punch-clinch' pattern the whole night...

If Hopkins had even a speck of grace he'd be one of my favourite all time fighters.
