Trinidad proved himself at 160 by knocking out Joppy in 5 rounds, Joppy was a good fighter and trinidad was the only man at middleweight to stop him, Hopkins and Taylor couldn't even do it. It took a Lucian Bute 10 rounds to take him out and he's a super middleweight. Trinidads downfall after his loss to Hopkins was his inactivity and his level of competition.Comment

It isn't important how a fighter does after a fight, the victory needs to be judged on how good they were going into the fight. After all, in this example Trinidad could have been mentally beaten after the loss or his future opponents could have been encouraged by what they saw. What happens afterwards is irrelvent.
Going into the fight Trinidad was 40-0 having beaten Oscar De La Hoya, Fernando Vargas and William Joppy; all very credible victories. Trinidad was also the favourite going into the fight and considered one of the top P4P boxers in the world.
I apply the same logic to Calzaghe's Lacy victory. Lacy may have looked terrible after the fight (although he still hasn't lost), but the effect of a pure beatdown broke him mentally and his shoulder injury in his next fight seriously affected him physically. Going into the fight however he was 21-0, IBF champion and the favourite, having torn through the rest of the division.
What happens after a fight shouldn't affect the legacy of the victory, only what happens before should.Comment

To answer the 10-8 round question, it is very simple. One fighter wins 7 rounds, but gets knocked down, the other win fives. The result? A draw on points.
P.S.: To the thread starter, this is a very ****** thread. You are discrediting the biggest win of your fighters best win. So Joe has beat nobody is that what you are saying? Thats not the case at all, both Joe and Bernard have beat tons of great fighters, so dont make ****** threads.Comment
