    How much value can you really put on a win where the "winner" looked like complete ****? Sure, it was hardly vintage B-Hop but JC looked like a clueless amateur.

      hopkins put on a stinky floyd-baldomir type performance but he still deserved to win because he won the boxing match. if baldomir knew all he had to do to win the fight was constantly throw and miss punches he would still be champ. silly baldomir trying to be accurate and actually hit his opponent. the fans got robbed of pac-baldomir!

        That gif is still funny to me and hideous. Calzaghe won ugly that night.

        Also what you didn't mention was that was almost the only clean punch Hopkins landed that round. Another round he stole was the one he milked a fake low blow and got a much needed rest.

            faking a low blow would be pretending one happened that didn't except one clearly happened so how was it fake? did he milk the **** out of it? yes he certainly did but even calzaghe milked low blows and whined like a bit-ch against bika to get a rest and get points taken off.

              You hate Calzaghe with a passion. But not as much as I do. Lol. Can't stand a guy who should only have a 15% knockout record if not for home refs handing out premature stoppage wins to him like it's candy.

                Nothing made me cringe more than the attempt at showboating when in the ring with Hopkins and Jones.

                He looked a complete idiot.

                  2000-2003 Calzaghe beats Hopkins even wider than he did in 2008.
