Regarding Hopkins v Calzaghe......

[intoccabile]

Boxing is also scored on ring control, aggression and setting the tempo would anyone care to argue hopkins did any of the above because he clearly did not he just landed a few clean shots and got hit more than the other guy thats not how you win

This is all true.
But you have fighters who are the aggressors and fighters who arn't.
This is why we have styles. You have judges who favor Defense, Ring Generalship, and precision.

Then you have judges who favor Pressure, Activity, and aggressiveness.

Then you have judges to can appreciate them both and judge accordingly.
I said before in another thread, hopkins could have won had the 3 judges been different.
Their fight was definitely a fight that is based on who's at ringside.

and as far as landing a few clean shots and getting hit more than the other guy.
He made the other guy look like an amatuer. Joe hardly hit anything. If you throw 20 versus the other guys 5, your
obviously going to land more. At least in theory. A Machine gun has the chance to hit more targets than a 6 shooter, right? The clip is bigger.

So you have to look at the other aspects of the fight too. And although joe worked more, hopkins worked just as hard to avoid being hit.
What was more effective? joes offense or bhops defense?
