    People keep bringing up points about home town decisions.

    So Hopkins' point is that, because he would have gotten robbed in Wales, JC should have got robbed in Las Vegas? Common.

    This is the way boxing works: if you win more rounds than your opponent, you get the decision. It should have nothing to do with who's the champ or who's the hometown boy.

    I'm a big B-Hop fan but he lost that fight.

    Fukit, no point arguaing Jc won end of, cant do it no more. Hopkins is 43 yrs old man and is a living legend. Jc struggled to beat a old man so that should tell you everything. 5 years ago hopkins wouldnt of got tired late on and would have continued the beating he gave joe in the first half of the fight. end of

    None of that is relevant to last nights fight. Calzaghe edged out a decision by a round or two by outworking Hopkins. It doesn't matter what would have happened 5 years ago, what a stupid argument. Fact is, Hopkins gassed out and got outworked.

    all of a sudden someone who questions the intentions of a judge is making up conspiracy theories?


    like nevada hasnt had many shady decisions?

    And Hopkins couldn't beat Calzaghe on Calzaghe's very worst night! Swings and round abouts old bean.

    big h, calzaghe looked bad because hopkins made him look bad, just like hopkins said he would. if bernard stood there like lacy just getting hit joe would have looked a million dollers, b-hop is just to good a operater to let that happen

    Agree to an extent, but being a good operator doesn't make up with his lack of throwing punches, you cannot win world title fights when you are as inactive as he was

    yes big h, but for a man who was inactive the ststs show he threw 450 punches whis isn't bad considering. the highly rated roy jones didn't throw many punches even in his prime but was always consider a great. its just a matter of weather you like a fighter or not
