All four fights were very close. No close fight can ever be called a robbery. He's just a bad loser. So is anyone who can't accept that all very close fights can legitimately be scored either way, and that in those circumstances, the judges' decision is final.
A robbery is a fight like Casamayor - Santa Cruz, which most boxing experts scored in favour of Santa Cruz by a wide margin.
Taylor is my current favorite fighter, I thought Hopkins beat him the first time, the second one could have gone either way. If you like clean effective punching or if you like workrate, Judges picked work rate.
In the Calzaghe fight I thought he did enough to pull out the win, Calzaghe had a lot in the work rate dept., but unlike Taylor, he ain't land shit on B-Hop. Calzaghe litterally fought air that night.
I also thought Hopkins beat Calzaghe.
I dont feel he was robbed in any of his fights. He didnt dominate any of his robberies, they were close fights. I watched Lewis-Holyfield with about 30 people all rooting for Holyfield who all felt Lennox got robbed by a draw thats a robbery. A close fight that doesnt go the way you want is just the game.
