Who won Hopkins vs Calzaghe?

[Jim Jeffries]

I had B-HOP winning, based on the cleaner, harder shots.

Nice pic of the pushdown. Calzaghe outlanded Hopkins two to one in the fight, period, end of story.

Ricky Hatton CHEATS by HOLDING! Bernard Hopkins has MAD SKILLS.

Can't you see the difference!?

Push down? He stepped back as Joe continued to fall.

Did he use his Jedi powers to do it?

Punch stats aren't the be-all-end-all to a fight. If they were, Kassim Ouma would be the greatest fighter in the history of boxing.

116-112 Joe

Decent punch, and hence the knockdown was called. But if you don't think Hopkins pushed him down after that, and if you think Calzaghe was hurt enough to go down without being pushed, you're delusional.

[FRKO]

It was a good punch, but I also think the fact that Hopkins came forward with his head and appeared to run into Joe, that's why he went down. If it had been a straight punch without no forward movement with the head, Joe would have took it and stayed up. Regardless, he took his best shot and ate it, got up, and won the fight. Could have looked better, but Bernard makes anyone look untidy. Can you imagine fighting Hopkins? How would you approach such a task?

If that's the case, i guess Hopkins' knock out of Trinidad is invalid. It's a knockdown, not a push, he punched him, Joe went down.

It was kind of a half-push, half-punch.
