I don't feel let down by Joe at all, in fact I feel prouder than ever. He was fighting someone who would make Muhammed Ali look bad, but still came through and got the job done. He got himself off the canvas and showed tremendous courage and slowly, but surely boxed his way back into contention. I am seeing a lot of posts bringing up Hopkins age, which I expected, but Hop was in great shape and still a formidable fighter. With last nights win, Joe has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest British fighters of all time IMO.

I dont feel let down at all!!
How can anyone look good against the fight Hopkins put on last night...i dont think he made a single forwards step and wouldnt throw a punch unless it was a counter..in the end that lost him the fight..
Joe out worked him in the end, judges like aggression and Hopkins showed NONE.
I had Joe winning by 2...it was close one but NO DOUBT it was Joe's fight.

i think you will find it was Joe Calzaghe who won
just wipe your mouths and move on, we had to when Mayweather hammered Hatton, the only fighters that get gifted decisiond in Vegas are Americans

If the same fight and result had happened in london yanks would be screaming robbery i think (and they'd be right). Its just the whole 'score on aggression and ignore whos actually landing' thing that judges do in vegas.
I thought the stats showed that Calzaghe outlanded Bernard Hopkins anyway!

I don't I exspected a slow and cagey and scrappy fight and I got it.
I also exspected to see Joe calzaghe beat B hop on points... And I got it.
You got to remember everyone looks **** against hopkins thats what he does and thats what happened now calzaghe should fight pavlik.
