Who won Hopkins vs Calzaghe?

[Roger Yomama]

For Hopkins to have won that fight he would have had to something he didn't do for 10 of the 12 rounds. Fight.

This poll is one sided like the punch stats.

You've got me wondering, TG.. I know you're a smart guy. It's already been discussed here that Calzaghe had clearly many more people betting on him, and clearly has/had much more fan support. There's also Hopkins comments which clearly tainted the water.. All we need do is look at the five dozen lashback threads aimed at what Hopkins said..

Would you really expect a poll like this to favor Hopkins, if Bernard had won by a larger deficit, even in theory?? Seriously? Honestly?

Calzaghe won. But at the end of the day Hopkins still dealt more actual damage. But you can't score damage effectively. Calzaghe hit more often with weak punches made to just make contact. Hopkins landed real damage but he landed it so seldom. But yeah, Calzaghe won.

Calzaghe beat Holdkins easy

The question is so ******ed, that is like asking who won Roy Jones Jr vs Hopkins.

I cant stand either fighter but calzache clearly won the fight. you could put this poll on espn and it would still come out lopsided in calzache's favor. it was ugly and not impressive but a clear win none the less

I cant even believe 75 people actually voted for B-hop!!!! WTF..Am quite shocked, This is a ridiculous question to be honest.

If you put a poll on ESPN for who won De La Hoya vs. Mayweather it would have come out in favor of De La Hoya. I think that's exactly my point.

The professional pundits scored it in favor of Hopkins. People like Dan Rafael, Kevin Iole, ect, and an absolute host of others. These guys picked Calzaghe to win, but they scored it for Hopkins. Go figure that. Now that's something you would never see from the fans.

Here's Iole's scorecard and round by round as a simple example:

This is about professionals and amateurs - this fight. Professional scoring, and professional comprehension. Amateur scoring, and amateur and novice comprehension. I'm satisfied with what I've seen. No surprises.
