Bernard Hopkins was robbed in the Calzaghe fight ....Proof inside.

clean punching-hopkins outlanded calzaghe by a wide margin and landed the harder punches in at least 7 of the rounds. watching the videos will confirm this.
defense-hopkins barely got hit in most of the rounds especially the ones he won.
effective aggression-this one seems to be the major sticking point. people that score it for calzaghe think it's just called aggression but it's effective aggression. it has nothing to do with coming forward or just being on the attack. it's what happens when you attack. swinging wildly and missing most your punches is the definition of ineffective aggression. people seem to forget that counter punching is a way of attacking. hopkins picked his spots and landed clean punches then reset. he was effective when he chose to be aggressive.
ring generalship-another sticking point for most. does a good general just march his troops forward shooting at air? no that would be a terrible general. a good general knows when to attack and when to retreat. a good general sets traps for his opponents. hopkins won most of the rounds because he was able to move, land, move without getting hit. calzaghe started winning this category in most of the later rounds because hopkins wasn't able to stop calzaghe quick enough.Comment

andre ward is one of my favorite fighters. You probably think I'm racist, I'm not at all. I just don't like when great white fighters get put down because of their skin.
BTW what is it that makes most of you hate calzaghe ( daggum )? Besides the fact that he's white.
Why do you hate him? Is it just his skin color or was it something he said?Comment

not all of them but most. there's a big difference between using little dirty tricks during the course of a fight and using a dirty trick to knockout someone. but you don't care about the integrity of boxing as long as your guy wins.Comment
