    I think it's not comparable, totally different strategy. Mayweather throws about 20-30 punches a round, but he almost always connects and barely ever gets hit. Joe on the other hand averages 100 punches a round and lands less than half of them. I'm a huge fan of Mayweather but I think Joe's strategy is perfect for beating Mayweather.

      What was really rediculous was that first ******ed judge's score.

      Hopkins lost, anyway you slice it, nice first three rounds, but unfortunately it was a 12 round fight.

        Yeah. I figure that someone will beat him if they win more rounds than he does. Hopkins didnt.

            If beat up means one mark on his nose from that (admitidely fantastic) punch, then he got beat up, but he looked ok apart from that in the post fight interviews

              No you can't. Floyd pot shots at times. But he isn't anything like Cal. Joe throws just to throw. Floyd throws with intent. And is by far more accurate. That's probably the worst comparison to throw out there.

                Get real, Calzaghe wasn;t even hurt in the fight. A flash kockdown and ge got up smiling. He was never hurt in th fight, neither was Hopkins. Hopkins was just puffing.

                  stop making excuses for Gayweather

                  fact is, Floyd throws and throws but his punches rarely hurt unless a fighter runs into them like Hatton did (due to Cortez's constant breaking up)

                  Joe's punches are effective, Mayweather's are pitter patters.

                    Joe was nowhere near being knocked out at any time in that fight.

                    As to whether he could lose a decision, of course he can. Imagine he fought someone who stifled his game like Hopkins did, but also threw plenty of punches back.

                    A more active Hopkins would have won that fight IMO. He lost because if he did anything in the fight, he stopped Joe from boxing his own way, but that was all he did, after the opening rounds.
