    I have to say that our opinions of the fight are as valuable as the judges, mainly because judges aren't really any more qualified to judge a fight than we are. Yes, the judges are responsible for the result, but they really aren't all that good a lot of the time. Calzaghe was a good fighter, but not a great one. He fought subpar fighters for most of his career except the last part of it. He did not have a good chin, as evidenced by his being knocked down by a washed-up Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins (who doesn't usually knock anyone down). He did rebound very nicely against Hopkins, but a lot of his punches were half-ass. Bernard landed the better shots all night, which is why I gave him the win.
