So the judges favoured Calzaghe because he's white?
No, that's not at all what I said, they MAY have favoured him because of the dickhead comment Hopkins made. It's as good an argument as 'Calzaghe's British so it was all against him', because Calzaghe had enough of Warren's money behind him to ensure he wasn't going to get shafted. In fact, I'd like to hear of a single Brit other than Lewis against Holyfield who has been screwed by the judges against a US fighter in America in recent years, maybe I'm missing someone
