Calzaghe/Hopkins

[Lefty]

Plenty of people have won fights without taking a forward step, but they actually threw punches whilst moving backwards, in this fight Hopkins didn't

Cant argue with that. But if I was a judge I'ld be scoring rounds for fighters going forward, attempting to force the action thus scoring as well. I just dont know how a fighter as negative as Hopkins was here could win.

Yeh in this case I totally agree mate, but there are other fighters who I admired even though they were on the backfoot, i.e Whitaker. He was on the end of some very dodgy decisions for the exact reason that some jusges will always score for the agressor.
