    I can't see which round from 4-6 you could give him, and I think 5,6,8 & 9 were quite clearly JC. 7 & 10 very close
    I'll have to watch it again, but one of those rounds you mentioned were quite clearly for Calzaghe, I just don't agree... throwing missing punches does nothing for me unless B-Hop didn't throw anything. B-Hop was finding it much easier to land, I think Compubox was up their ass thinking Bernard didn't land a higher percentage of the punches he threw than Calzaghe let alone Calzaghe landing over 1/3 the punches he threw... I don't even see him landing 1/5th the punches he threw.

    You cant argue with the FACTS! You obviously watched the fight from a tainted perspective.

    Face it, most the people who say hopkins shoulda won are the same people who call him slappy, weak, brawler, etc etc. Im not saying this is you but you are making the same statements as that crowd.

    LOOK AT ROUNDS 4-12, look how calzaghe outlands hopkins and isnt hurt at all, look in round 10 HOW CALZAGHE ROCKS HOPKINS AND HES ABOUT TO GO DOWN BUT CLINCHES!!!!!

    Why do people consistantly say that hopkins threw better punches, hopkins threw the best punch of the fight, calzaghe the second best punch of the fight when he rocked hopkins, PEOPLE ARE BLIND IF THEY CANT SEE THIS, LOOK AT ROUND 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    THE FACTS:

    Total thrown (Hopkins/Calzaghe): 468/707

    Total landed: 127/232

    Percentage landed: 27/33

    Jabs thrown: 93/224

    Jabs landed: 11/45

    Percentage landed: 12/20

    Power punches thrown: 375/483

    Power punches landed: 116/187

    Percentage landed: 31/39

    Calzaghe LANDED 81 more power punches than hopkins did...that is a FACT!

    How can people say he landed more cleaner better punches when the facts clearly state that calzaghe landed more power punches on hopkins. Please mate, watch the fight again with an open mind and appreciate the way calzaghe adapts and takes down the whily fox!
