    it was a big win, but a close fight. Calzaghe was more active but Hopkins did more damage.

          What fight did Calzaghe stans watch? Joe looked HORRIBLE. Even though I agree that Joe won that fight, it was by NO MEANS a dominant or CLEAR win. It was VERY close and Joe didnt even look like he cared to hurt Hopkins. He looked like he just got out of the amatuers.

            If he was as bad as you say he wouldn't have won.

            Beside Hopkins initiated over a billion clinches

            It was a **** fight. What highlights there was, did come from Hopkins, but he didn't deserve to win because - he was trying not to lose.

              He was as bad as I said he was and the reason he won was because Hopkins was worse. It was a fight were neither fighter really do much, but Calzaghe did more than Hopkins.

                Clinching is a part of boxing. It's on Calzaghe to bust that tactic up.

                Hopkins won.

The Lacy win was more impressive to me because Lacy actually threw something. That Hopkins win was not as close as people say. Everyone I was watching with said that they believed Joe won convincingly.
                  Lacy was hype and not much only fighting 3rd tier fighters Sheka nearly got away with him and Sheka was shot , Kessler was the one for me I thought it was Joes best career win he was prime and a good fighter , Bhop and jones were name value both were way past prime and I reckon if both were prime especially Jones they would have beat Joe easily .

                      It was such an ugly fight, although Calzaghe was more active I just can't see how he won, he didn't land anything of significance. Hopkins looked pretty terrible to.
