Calzaghe WILL fight again for £10/$16 million

I don't really get what your saying BK, if you read my whole post. I said i knew Joe Calzaghe was going to land more punches.

But i expected him to land more effective punches than he did. I know he slaps a lot but i atleast expected him to land more clean punches than he did.

Thats why he lost the fight IMO, Bernard Hopkins landed the better more effective punches. He was also able to get Joe Calzaghe out of his rhythm for quite alot of the fight, and he also scored the knockdown which is why i think Bernard Hopkins edged it.

Calzaghe won because he was more crafty than the King of Craft Hopkins.

Hopkins was fighting in his home country so was always going to get any benefit of doubt the judges had.

Calzaghe out smarted him, by looking the busier and more spectacular, even if all the punches were not landing correctly or indeed if they were landing at all!

Hopkins just did not have the pace of the fight right and Joe took advantage.

For an American to moan he was robbed by the judges fighting a Brit in the States is kind of at least pushing, if not out right taking the piss!

Joe Calzaghe more crafty than Bernard Hopkins ? i don't think so somehow. Bernard Hopkins was making Joe Calzaghe miss all night long. And he was able to smartly gain time to recover in the late rounds by being very crafty.

Well then how comes Hopkins did not get the decision? Calzaghe outsmarted him, he knew what the judges wanted and Hopkins fought the wrong fight, the scores say Joe was too crafty for him.

Hopkins nine times out of ten delivers what is needed, but Joe was too good for him and still won despite losing a 10/8 round.

Luckily for Hopkins, Joe is one of the few with at least the equal of Hopkins boxing brain, because Calzaghe is that good, not Hopkins that bad.

Calzaghe went to America and beat their best 175lber IMO. What is more, he got off the floor to win on points, that is simply brilliant, a virtually unheard of feat for a Brit in the Americas.

Bernard Hopkins lost because Las Vegas judges normally favor the aggressive fighter.

Then why did the ring smart and crafty Hopkins not fight more aggressively. This model of Calzaghe lacks in the power department and Hopkins could easily been the aggressor if he wished.....

The truth is Calzaghe read the situation better than Hopkins and executed the better fight plan. Hopkins had everything in his favour and yet still managed to lose, like I said not because Hopkins is that bad, but because Joe is that good!

Think that Calzghe pace just tired out Hopkin mean he did nothing in last rounds to get the win mean its his own fault for not doing anything.
