On a serious note, I genuinely cannot take Ricky's post serioualy AT ALL. On anything.
Being so ferociously devoted to Calzaghe- I can't even feel mad. It's just pure pity. Is this how your lift has turned out? Being up the arse of someone who doesn't even know you exist? And who isn't even that good? It can't be like this.
Calzaghe is my favourite fighter but I know what he's about. I primarily became a fan after he wasted Mario Veit when I was at the time a casual fan I thought damn he's a puncher, so I looked out for him. Then two years later he had an epic two rounder with Mitchell. In between times he had a war with Charles Brewer. Mitchell and Brewer will be dismissed as bums by churlish posters on this board
I liked Joe because he showed vulnerabilty even against Brewer and Mitchell with his willingness to get ****** into a brawl.
Joe is a great fighter imo but a good notch below guys like James Toney and RJJ if not a notch and a half. But I could never back those guys anyway especially prime Roy it would be like supporting Man Utd in the 90's, or Michael Schumacker in the F1 or Tiger Woods in golf.

Having said that you did score the hopkins fight 117-111 to calzaghe no?

I scored it 115-113. But after watching it on the BBC again and concievably yes I think it could have been scored wider even when initially i thought that judge was way off. Not so much.
