    Hopkins clinched 160+ times, people. Don't forget that.
    Calzaghe missed twice as many times as that.

      I had Hopkins up by one or two point. Btw I am not the type that scores fights based on who I like more.

        Calzaghe was doing a fair bit of clinching himself.

            Can we at least agree that it was one of the worst fights ever televised and that it should never be shown again?


            I scored it 115-112 because Bhop never did enough to win rounds, he was too negative and spent all his time spoiling instead of scoring.

            Calzaghe was the only one trying to WIN the fight.

              Who cares. Your opinion is Hopkins won, and that's OK with me. The majority had Calzaghe winning. Find ANY poll on here and it'll show you the people who thought Hopkins won are in the minority.

              Fact: It was a close fight.

              My belief is Hopkins didn't do anywhere near enough to win. I'm a fan of both, btw.
              what exactly did calzaghe do to win? run into counters over and over and miss basically every punch he threw.

                    It was probably the worst stylistic matchup either guy has ever been in, but Calzaghe wasn't landing at all/

                      I love these Calzaghe threads. This one's a good'un.
