Before Hopkins was an old man, well past it and Joes win was nothing against a 43 y old man. Now Pavlik supposedly the new guy to beat Joe has been dominated by Hopkins, do ppl sill discredit Joes win over Hopkins?

Hopkins is still an old man, well past it. It was a lucky decision Calzaghe got over Hopkins. The rematch will hopefully put an end to this argument.

Time to move on, Hopkins got beat fair and square that night, Calzaghe was at fault for making Hopkins look good in the 1st round, this was to do with over confidence, after the 1st he came back got his head down and got to work.

Hopkins tried to take away Calzaghe's best weapon and it worked but only partially, hence why he ended up with a loss.

we all we know calzaghe didnt win against hopkins it was obvious he was outclassed he some how got the decision. The hopkins we saw today would easily knock out calzslappy because he does nothing for the sport but slap like a *****. After todays fight i realised why i like boxing because its an art that boxers like hopkins have mastered. But calzslappy looks ordinary and is not as skillful as the greats like hopkins.
jones will expose calzslapp like hopkins did.

Yeah fair and square, no question it was close, Hopkins knew he was up against someone good so he resorted to being a spoiler.

Calzaghe's work rate is what he tried to take away and it did work partially but not well enough.

How was it not close. You sounding like Calzaghe won easy, it was narrow as decision.

I said there is no question that the fight was close, Calzaghe didn't win easily at all, It was a a narrow decision victory but that is what you expect when you fight Hopkins.

You shouldn't even be here now that Pavlik has lost.
