Hopkins - Calzaghe was a close fight. Very close Hopkins should have gotten the nod.
Had the fight between Cotto - Mosley been at the west. Mosley would have gotten a draw or even won.
Hopkins only won the fight if you gave him all of the swing rounds and even then it would still (the max you could give hopkins) was 114-113, if you gave calzaghe all the swing rounds he'd have won 116-111, i agreed with the judge who scored it 115-112 calzaghe. close fight but if you score by the rules of boxing, calzaghe won.

green k man - thats a good breakdown of the scoring for the fight.
hopkins imo would lose tocalzaghe, kessler and JT. everyone else i think he beats.
pavlik and margarito were always fighters who were tough and stubborn but they're technical flaws are so apparent that a 10 yr old could spot them

How can you say Hopkins should have gotten the nod and then said if it was very close, I had it for Hopkins 5 points up going into the 4th and then Hopkins didn't DO ANYTHING past the 4th at all so Joe took rounds 5-12.
I'm a big Hopkins fan, I picked him to beat Pavlik but I don't think he would be able to best Joe because Hopkins always does worse against people that are faster than him (he doesn't always lose and he still does fairly well) but it's who he's performs worse against.
