Calzaghe's win over B-Hop looks better all the time.......

I think this is right!

I wonder sometimes if BHOP wished he had that fight back. He fought like he had no faith in his own stamina.

Now that is to take nothing away from Clazaghe who I thought won nine rounds of that fight. But I do think BHOP matured in his understanding of his 40+ body after that (if that makes sense).

Of course all that matters is what happened so I'll stop speculating. A casae like this is why one cannot really rate a fighter until after hyis compeition has retired.

I'm stunned how many good posters here had BHOP winning that fight. Do I REALLY have to torture myself and go back and watch again? I thought slapping deserved more credit than the 1-2-headrush

I agree. I had Calzaghe winning by quite a few rounds in that fight. It was a case of Calzaghe throwing a lot of punches and Bhop not throwing a lot of punches even if Calzaghe's punches weren't powerful.
