    Hopkins was the champ, Calzaghe didn't do enough to steal his belt. Bunch of clowns.

      Calzaghe/Hopkins 2 will probably happen since people debate on who really won the fight. And in the rematch I'll pick Calzaghe to win more comfortably this time around since I know he is like Hopkins and likes to prove things to the people. They both have the same mindset and thats why the Calzaghe/Hopkins 1 was so close. But Hopkins hates guys with speed, if Calzaghe works on his accuracy a bit more he can win comfortably against Hopkins in my opinion. Without no shadow of a doubt who won or that it was close at all.

      Hopkins also looked very gassed out later in the fight... Which is why I know Calzaghes speed bothered him a lot.

        I think he managed one per round didn't he?

          What the **** are you taking........Calzaghe landed more punches on Hopkins than Jones did or anyone else in his career for that matter.

          You would think the title of this thread would not attract biased ******s like you....

            I'm a bigger Hopkins fan than I am a Calzaghe fan, and have scored the fight to Calzaghe everytime I watch it (5 Times so far).

            114-113 Calzaghe.

              Ring isn't a lineal belt so the judges don't have to take that into account, the same way Pacquiao is only a 4 weight world champ not a 5 weight world champ because he won a ring belt at Featherweight but most publications only call him a 4 weight world champ.

                The fact that most people are even having an arguement over Joe-Bernard means it wasn't a robbery.

                  Thats crap. You win more rounds, you win the fight. The champ should not be given the benefit of the doubt if the fight is close. Thats dumb. How do you like THEM APPLES?

                  APPLESAUCE *****!!! lollol..

                    The judges shouldn't be taking the belts into account anyway! To win the belt you should have to beat the champion. Not beat the champion slightly better than you would have to beat him to be declared the victor if it was a non-title bout.

                      The biggest false controversy of the Millenium. Calzaghe won. Get over it.
