    Calzaghe.

    He won that fight easily despite being 43 Years old.

    That was a robbery.

      It was in no case a robbery,could have gone either way.People use the term robbery to freely.Also throwing just right hand leads at a time against Calzaghe makes it hard for a judge to give you the round

        It wasn't even a tossup. Calzaghe won that fight hands down. Hopkins is just good at making it look like a close fight with all the clinching and grappling. Lands one clean punch every other round, manages to avoid toe-to-toe exchanges and his fans want to give him the fight.

          Now you're going on the other side.It was a toss-up.It depends on what you score,you could score it for Hopkins or Calzaghe.The KD in the first really helps Hopkins,without it I might say Calzaghe cleanly won it.I score it for Calzaghe but you could have it for Hopkins.

            Calzaghe won that fight straight up. The only people that scored that fight for Hopkins were his diehards. The judges scored it in favor of Calzaghe anyway, so Hopkins lost.

                I always thought his first clear win was not getting ****d in prison.

                    the goal in boxing shouldn't be to fool the judges into thinking you are landing punches. the goal should be to land punches and hopkins accomplished that. for all calzaghe's flailing and windmilling he did not.
