    Am I the only one who thought Calzaghe-Hopkins wasnt.....

    Am I the only one who thought Calzaghe-Hopkins wasnt as dull as everyone say? I mean yes there werent any spot of hig entertainment but if you viewed it like I did, closely analyzing there moves I thought more people should of appreciated it, for me it was a pretty decent fight considering both are future hall of famers and 2 of the biggest names in this era of boxing. Anyone else agree with me?

    For a hopkins fight it was decent, but that's not saying a whole lot.

      It was technically interesting, but exciting mostly due to the anticipation. If you didn't know the fighters and just stumbled across the fight, you wouldn't have thought it was good entertainment

        To me it was a bit of a rollercoaster for Calzaghe, but i would have found it a good fight regardless. The atmosphere was incredible!

          I haven't thought Hopkins' last two fights were as boring as people make them out to be. It's either hatred for the fighter, or it's fans just wanting to seem correct, when they predict a boring fight in the first place.

            It was terrible. Hopkins is an expert in anti-boxing (if that's the right terminology). I'd much rather see two fighters contest the middle of the ring to be honest.

              I enjoyed the fight. I thought it was very suspenseful.

                  It was a case of a pity pat slapper vs a 1 punch then clincher.
