        Hopkins is amazing. I always felt he got robbed.

          Nah, just say it. The two white judges scored it for Joe and the black one for Bernard. It's not a good look, given the circumstances of the fight.

              Mayweather owned the 1st 5 rounds, Castillo owned the next 5 rounds, Mayweather won the championship rounds. Castillo won his rounds more decisively, while Mayweather won his rounds close. That's all there is to it, a typical close fight. People scream robbery for drama.

              Mayweather-Castillo-Close fight had Mayweather winning
              Pacquiao-Marquez I & II-Close fight had Marquez winning
              Calzaghe-Hopkins-Close fight had Calzaghe winning
              Williams-Martinez I-Close fight had Williams winning

              Does it matter who I had winning? no, they were close fights, none of these were robberies.

                I'm rewatching the fight right now side by side with the clips on this video.

                Funny how when Joe connects the clips don't 'highlight' it yet when hopkins does it gets x7 replays which gives a skewed perspective because when a fight is in process there is an ebbe and flow which sudden stops and replay don't show.

                Plus the replay's don't show Joes shots which land in far greater quantitity than Hopkins - the difference is his punches aren't as commanding but that doesn't mean they weren't effective or Hopkins would have walked through them.

                What this video also doesn't show is x7 replays of the 'low blows' that Hopkins 'claimed'.

                Funny that aint it?

                  yes the videos enable you to see all the sneaky counters he landed while making calzaghe miss. some people can see that in real time but some people who don't pay attention to where the punches land just who is throwing can't see that in real time so slow motion is provided for them.

                      Plus when a guy makes videos dissing all three - Mayweather, Paccquaio and Calzaghe - you just know the video maker has an agenda.
