    clear UD win for Joe
    Associated Press, Yahoo, and ESPN scored the bout 114-113 for Hopkins.

    Hopkins has a solid case that he could have won the fight.

      It's as the same as it ever would have been, Hopkins' legacy was sky high before the victory and it's sky high now.

        Calzaghe's work rate is what he tried to take away and it did work partially but not well enough.
        work rate aka missing punches. i look negatively at a boxer who is so inaccurate and sloppy. you seem to praise that kind of style.

          And Hopkins landing one punch a round after round 6, with the rest being with his head isn't negative?

          Turn your computer off, unplug it, take it down the scrap yard and **** IT UP.

          Now.

              I look negatively at people who constantly hate and sulk. Get over it he lost. Calzaghe was the the more agressive boxer and actually looked like he wanted to box,

                I tlooks better, just like Taylor's wins over him looked better when he punked Tarver. Still don't make it decisive tho. I can accept Joe C gettin that SD, but I won't begrudge anybody that feels Joe lost.

                  so calzaghe won cause he was more "agressive" and looked like he wanted to box. ok i checked the judging criteria and i didn't find those things. i found effective agression but calzaghe was no where near effective so throw that out. clean punching hmmmmm i wonder who won that category? oh well who cares calzaghe wanted to "box" if you call windmilling your arms in frustration boxing then more power to you.

                    Did i say he won because of that?

                    I just stated he was more agressive and looked like he actaully wanted to box.

                    He out worked Hopkins that night hence the Calzaghe victory. Now move on.

                      Stop exaggerating, Calzaghe landed ALOT more shots than Hopkins.
