Joe Calzaghe Was Impressive Enough To Win the Number 1 p4p Spot

According to CompuBox sure. compubox is a bunch of guys watching the fight. As you can see in the gifs, he's clearly missing a lot.

most of the ones he's missing to the arms, back of the head, shoulders are counted in that fight. Which is not impressive. But hey if you think scoring pro fights like the Amateurs is cool, then it might be for you.

He didn't dominate Hopkins at all.

This fight was almost exactly the same as his fight against winky - ugly fight with lots of clinching. The difference between the two is that Calzaghe threw more punches than winky and hopkins didn't get tired quite as much in the later rounds against winky. Hopkins could have lost that fight too if he did. Either way, he wasn't dominated.

Calzaghe got the win, which like said is all that matters, but he didn't do it impressively. To say it otherwise is simply kidding yourself.

What an arrogant joke you are, United States suck at team games, most of your so called best athletes have been found to have taken steriods just look at Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery....

Marion Jones is a woman, noone cares about women athletes. Tim Montgomery, a f'in sprinter. Yeah we suck at team games, like football, baseball, basketball, oh and the olympics, we don't carry the medal count each year. Watch for your self in 2012. Ask David Beckham, he said personally our culture is by far the most sports driven and our facilities second to none.

Why debate logic and facts when you can make up **** to suit your own argument. The visual evidence presented is not disputable. You are wrong. There was no domination.

calzaghe landed more punches on hopkins than any other boxer ever
now if thats not impressive i dont know what is

"Against all odds...." Actually he was more that a two to one favorite, bud. All you have to do is make slight contact damnnear anywhere and they count it as landed. Joe hits like Pauli so know it's not impressive.

usa might be superior in some sports but in boxing mexico is far superior
there are more mexican champions than americans all those mexican americans robert guerrero steven luevano david diaz consider themselves mexicans because they have mexican blood cuz their parents were born in mexico they come to the ring with the mexican flag and talk spanish in their corners

I love Mexican boxers they fight like warriors. You sound like an idiot the way you ride JC's nuts though.

I think a lot of people have forgotten how to score boxing.

1. CLEAN PUNCHING
2. EFFECTIVE Agression
3. Ring Generalship

The most important point in the pros is the first point. Clean punching which relates to impact of the blow and pain inflicted. While damage is subjective clearly pro boxing must not be score like an Olympic or Amateur match, where any blow no matter the damage has the same impact.

The clear proof of this is the concept of the 10-8 round, where if fighter A knocks down fighter B fight B almost always automatically loses that round, unless he can HURT fighter A and maybe get that round to 9-9 or 9-8. Remember that fighter B has to HURT fighter A, if he lands more swatting punches, it doesn't matter.

Unfortunately compu box and judges sit ring side and if you Oscar De La hoya your opponent you can often win the fight. This is fine if your opponent is not doing anything. But if he's landing more telling blows on the inside or or damage, even with less punches, you have to take that into consideration.

4. Defense...
I thought Calzaghe eeked out a close decision, mainly b/c he out-worked B-hop down the stretch! I agree Compubox is not PERFECT, it's a bunch of guys who are watching the fight just like us, so depending on their angle they might see/not-see a few things. People make it seem like Compubox is the DETERMINING factor when scoring a fight & looking at it in retro-spect!There were PLENTY of shots Joe got credit for that he didn't land...similar to the shots Dawson was throwing on the gloves & shoulders of Johnson a few wks back...
