    I thought Castillo beat PBF, and I had that opinion when it 1st happened, not just since it's become popular to bash him the last year or 2. But fair is fair and PBF beat him the 2nd time. Either guy coulda won closely in Joe C v B-Hop, but if I had to pick I'd say Hopkins. I hate 'nothin' punches bein enough to take a world title away.

      They both were god awful, but Calzaghe's I guess would be somewhat closer. I think Mayweather won the Castillo fight with a good arguement for him, while I think Hopkins beat Calzaghe, it's a lot easier to explain why Calzaghe beats Hopkins unlike Castillo beating Mayweather.

      Granted I thought Mayweather-Castillo could have potentially gone to Castillo, I think the decision was correct.

        Both fights were close. I wouldn't say it was a robbery either way. Floyd may've edged it Castillo, and I thought Hopkins did enough to beat Calzaghe. They could've gone either way though.

          Any unbiased person would have scored the fight for Calzaghe. Hopkins won no more than 4 rounds in the fight and he got a knockdown, so the best he could have got was a loss by a 115-112 score.

            u have good point because allthough the punch stats favour Calz they dont factor the 10 /8 round into the equation

            so that argument that the punch stats prove who won the fight is futile IMO

                  Hopkins doesn't even really believe he won that ****.

                    Hopkins was nowhere near active enough to win that fight, he made Calzaghe look terrible but that is no grounds to win a fight. Calzaghe won that fight by 3-4 rounds Hopkins hit a barrier at round 3 and won maybe 2 rounds afterwards if were being generous.

                      I felt Hopkins did enough to win the fight. i scored it 114-113 Hopkins.

                      I felt Castillo beat Mayweather also. i can't remember my scorecard.
