Calzaghe UD 116-111 116-111 115-112

I have a feeling B-Hop will have point deducted for head butting.

This is like the 12th 'official' poll/prediction thread.

Anyway, Calzaghe by an ugly, dull decision.

^I wanted to sticky it so it would be the official poll but I guess you can't sticky in non stop boxing anymore...sorry.

I WANTED TO MAKE IT ACTUALLY OFFICIAL BY STICKYING IT...I'm going to try to get this moved so I can sticky it in a different section on here so it will be the official thread.

Anyone know how to get a thread moved?

I'm really torn between the two. Both guys have accomplished so much in their careers by just defending their belts 20+ times in their respective divisions. I love Joe Calzaghe for his skill, speed, his punch output and by being a student of the game. I love B-HOP for his pursuit of his legacy, accomplishing what was thought to be impossible, his skill to make people look bad, but also for being a student of the game as well. This here is a showdown that is a boxing fans wet dream come true. I know that Bernard does not possess the most crowd pleasing style by making it rough tactics type of fight but you have to respect what he does to all his opponents and that is break them down. With respect to both guys I will come out on a limb and state that the winner of this fight is pound for pound the number one guy in the world. I voted for Bernard Hopkins but from here till April 19, 2008 I might change my mind several times because that's how torn apart I am of who wins this fight. They both have so much in their repertoire of the sweet science that I can see the fight going back and forth so much and the rounds being so close....so don't be surprised if we end up seeing a draw and would have to see them go at it again. Well, these are my two cents take it for what it's worth.

Hopkins had trouble with taylor's speed and power. Hokins will have problems with Calzaghe's speed, activity and a`ccuracy. I dont see how Hopkins is going to cope with those 3 things. Hopkins doesnt possess the power to keep Calzaghe back. He doesnt have the speed or the activity rate to keep up. Hopkins is a good boxer, but then so was Kessler. Calzaghe by decision.
