This was nothing like Jermain Taylor fights, but I both agree and disagree. First of all this fight could have been won by either man, but Hopkins made Calzaghe look more amateurish than vice virsa... From what i saw it was more Hopkins not being young enough to throw back that made this fight close, and I think he knew that Calzaghe wasn't in his league, but his body couldn't keep up with the pace. Hopkins clearly showed imo that expect for the fact he was 43 that he was the superior fighter, and even at 43 that he was at least even to Calzaghe in effectiveness. However he should respect Calzaghe who is a really good maybe even great fighter, and stop crying. Same with Glen Johnson, he wasn't robbed against Dawson, its just the judges were out to lunch, and I think 116-111 against Hopkins was ridiculous.
