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

[porkypara]

Hopkins had to use ever dirty trick in the book to stay in his fight with Calzaghe.

I know it was a split desion but I though JC won by a clear 4 or 5 rounds.

I know it will piss some people off but B-Hop is making Calzaghe's win look better with every fight.

I'm aware of who got the decision, but I've watched it a couple of times and I always have Hopkins winning by a round. I don't want to start an old debate though, I was just being a jackass.

The victory does look very good for Calzaghe, regardless of how disputed it was.

i had B-Hop beating the coke snorter by about 3 or 4 points (including the extra point for the knockdown), so all B-Hop's wins do is go on to show how the only way he ever really "loses" a fight is if the judges decide to screw him over and take if from him, like they did in his fights against Taylor and Calzaghe

What every way you want to look at it Calzaghe gave Hopkins a hard fight at worse or beat him by a good few rounds at best.

Fact.

now tally up how many of those "shots" that Calzaghe "landed" were on the gloves and arms

and then add up how many shots B-Hop landed flush



the only thing you can applaud White Nose Joe on in that fight is that he finally gained the courage to come out the closet and grind up on Hopkins

I know it was a split desion but I though JC won by a clear 4 or 5 rounds.

I totally agree, I used to be one of Calzaghe's biggest critics, but that all changed after he destroyed Jeff Lacy and finished his career moving up in weight to fight Hopkins & Jones Jr.. Too bad Calzaghe, didn't get more credit during his career for what he was able to accomplish, but anyway you look at it, 46-0 ain't too shabby, and those of us who know boxing will always give him the credit he deserves.

BTW, I also agree that Calzaghe, clearly beat Hopkins, by 4 or 5 rounds, name someone who's been able to accomplish that.

Agreed. That was Joes first fight in the States and in Vegas no less and he horsed around for a third of the fight and still won.
