      I scored the fight for Floyd in a razor close decision but it definately could have gone the other way. To act like he is a "hater" simply for saying Castillo won that fight is ridiculous.

      Just saying.
      I wasn't calling him a hater just for that bro. Did you not read the last 5 pages? He's been totally discrediting Floyd like no other. Well I normally wouldn't care if people scored it for JLC(does not matter what they think) I felt like proving him wrong again.

        No problem, although, just so we are clear, these were your words:

        You actually though Castillo won the first fight? Really? You are just a hater dude,

        Now to me, that pretty clearly indicates that you think any suggestion that Castillo won that fight is ridiculous. I was just pointing out that it isn't.

          No... Just his. I normally wouldn't make mention of it, but he's been spouting off so much untrue stuff about Floyd and Joe that he deserves every bit of criticism.

            I think it's possible, but big time fighters didnt start taking him seriously and give him the fights until later in his career. Of course his wins were great, but I think he needed more wins against big names and wins much more convincing wins than the one over hopkins.

            One of my absolute favorites. Always gave us a good show.

              You actually think Joe didnt beat BHOP? I mean I thought it was pretty convincing. Also, who ever beats BHOP convincingly. He headbutts, clinches, fakes injuries etc...whenever he's in trouble. You can't beat him convincingly. Joe beat him more convincingly than Taylor in my opinion. Also in the opinion of Chuck Giampa who scored the Joe and a Taylor fight. In fact the 116-111 is the worst score BHOP had ever recieved from a judge. I personally had it one round closer, but still Joe won that fight to me and finished strong unlike Jones in his fight with BHOP who in my opinion finished very weak.

              Its also not Joe's fault that he didnt bother trash talking or that his manager wouldnt let him lose money fighting. Some of the deals BHOP offered early were ridiculous. Joe also beat some really good fighters like Chris Byrd in the amateurs and didn't lose an amateur fight after the age of 18. Thats fairly impressive as well. Joe Calzaghe may not be the GOAT, but he is a very underrated fighter.

                well if you aren't gonna pay attention while you watch it you might think calzaghe actually won with all the windmilling etc...

                i appreciate the humor in it but he clearly lost.

                when was hopkins ever in trouble against calzaghe lol. did the wind from his missed punches almost blow him over?

                  When was joe ever touched. Sorry, BHOP threw more headbutts than punches in that match. After the first round knock down I dont know if I remember a single punch BHOP connected on. Joe hit BHOP more than he ever had been hit and the ref was terrible and allowed clinching and head butting and fake injuries...you know the standard BHOP maneuvers the whole fight. Sorry, but you dont win a fight by just putting your gloves in front of your face and grabbing your opponent. Id love to know your scorecard and how you can have Hopkins winning... Sorry but when a fighter is forced to cheat you know he's not winning. Did you see how BHOP took 10 minutes rest for fake low blows? Complete joke. So yes, thats when Hopkins was in trouble is when he faked getting hit by a low blow and was doggied by Joe Calzaghe.

                    If Foreman had thought like BHOP then Ali would be considered nothing today. Had Foreman dropped to the ground and claimed a low blow and demanded 10 minutes rest he would have had enough energy to finish the fight. It is true, Ali didnt know how to throw a body shot though so that might have been a problem.
