    As sonny said, fact is Calzaghe won a close-ish fight fair and square. Naturally SOME people would have seen it for Reid.

    Calzaghe says he BROKE his hand in the 4th round, which maybe acounts for him not beating Reid easier.
    Forgetting excuses and ETC can you give me a legit argument why Joe Calzaghe deserved to win ? im not dissing Joe Calzaghe, i just thought i would start this thread because people keep making Hopkins vs Calzaghe threads.

    And i haven't actually heard many peoples opinions regarding this fight, so lets get some good debates going i've already gave my opinion above.

    Calzaghe won a close fight. What argument do you want? You'll find yourself in the minority just like the people that thought Hopkins beat Calzaghe

    So no legit argument ? it sounds like you question yourself did Joe Calzaghe really win the fight. And this fight was much more controversial than Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Calzaghe.

    Robin Reid was actually hurting Joe Calzaghe more so than i've ever seen, an opponent hurt Joe Calzaghe. I see Bilbo replying im sure he won't disappoint me, and he will give me an intelligent response why he thought Joe Calzaghe won.

    It was so long ago its not relavent.

    All the great fighters have had fights where they looked bad and could have lost or far more commonly DID lose.

    It says a lot about the greatness of a man when in order to criticise him and find his worst ever night in boxing you have to go back to 1999 and argue over a fight that he still won

    I'm more interested in knowing if anyone has ever seen any of Robin Reid's porn flicks?

    I've never found any but i'd love to see what he gets up to in them

    I guess not ? damn Bilbo i praised you in my last post, and i thought you would give me some good legit points why Joe Calzaghe won ? so far im the only one that has given legit points, no one else so far.

    I thought Calzaghe had the better of it early.. then Reid started landing the right hand.. then Calzaghe pulled it out down the stretch.

    Is that a legit enough argument?

    Robin Reid also won his fair share in the later rounds, if i remember rightly Robin Reid clearly won the 10th, 11th, rounds. Most of Joe Calzaghe's punches were missing after the early rounds. And Robin Reid was rocking his head back with good accurate right hands.

    Infact Joe Calzaghe was only landing mostly good body shots after the early rounds, Robin Reid was catching most of Joe Calzaghe's flurries on his gloves.

    Yeah that was probably due to the BROKEN hand. Makes sense doesn't it.

    I think Calzaghe won the 11th.

    No actually it doesn't because when scoring a fight that has nothing to do with it. All that counts are the legit arguments why you think Joe Calzaghe won ?

    I thought Robin Reid clearly won the 11th round although it was somewhat close. Glen McCrory had about 3 rounds even if i remember rightly
