So does this make Joe Calzaghe's win over Hopkins look even better?

    JC did not dominate H-Hop,he won a close fight,so his win over Hopkins cannot look better,it's not like he dominated him,true story!!

      it's all in fun no malice really. guy was a good fighter he just didn't beat hopkins and since his entire legacy is billed as the undefeated guy i like to point out that he's not. plus he's a real prick if you've ever listened to his interviews. ego maniac who says he "beat up hopkins" possible brain damage from all that drug use?

        In RD 6 at about 1:45 there is an exchange which Calzaghe wins. He starts the exchange by rattling Hopkin's jaw with a right hand and finishes the exchange with a body-shot which forces Hopkins to hold on.

        The video says Hopkins won that exchange. Why?

        Why were Calzaghe punches ignored?

          who would have thought a little bit of lateral movement and a straight right hand was all that it takes to beat the greatest fighter of all time. weird i always thought it would take a bazooka.

            Hopkins is just so difficult to fight despite him being 46. Joe is the only man that was able to deal with Hopkins tactics, versatile way of fighting. After last night, it's still easy to use Hopkins is still at the top of his A+ Game.

            Hopkins is top 10 P4P, he destroyed Pascal last night.

              nah hopkins got the better. hopkins landed 2 rights and the right hand that "rattled hopkins jaw" was nothing more than a tap. 2 solid right hands thrown with full force is beter than a little right where he already had his arm extended. and hopkins was already holding before the "body shot" tap even hit him. in terms of number of punches landed in that exchange i would say about equal but obviously hopkins punches were harder. that's my opinion anyway. i'll take 2 straight hopkins rights to 1 calzaghe hook and a body tap. that constitutes better to me.

                buy the judges? pascal was able to do that but looks like he should have paid a little more to get the win.

                  Joe Calzaghe did better against Hopkins than anyone else.

                  RJJs fight with Hopkins in the 90's is a close second.
