Calzaghe vs Hopkins looking back

Joe Calzaghe > Chad Dawson.

if it was a clear cut victory for Calzaghe.. sure.. but its a disputable so..

It's a win, as Hopkins would say it's all about the W and Joe has it. It was a close fight, but Hopkins could never slow Joe down.

[P.K]

The result may have been different if there was a rematch. I think this win is far and away the best on Calzaghe's resume and stamps his status as a great fighter of our time. But there should have been a rematch and yes, the resume is sorta gaping. But you can't discount this win.

I would say Calzaghe would have performed bvetter, and so will Hopkin's. It was also Calzaghe first fight at 175.

Calzaghe figured out Hopkin's more as it went on and starting connecting a little cleaner, and Hopkin's used his savvy.

[P.K]

114-113 Hopkins is what I scored it. Did anyone else get that exact score for Hops?

I gave Calzaghe one round to win.

I forgot the score though.

Just thinking of it, there should not have been a rematch because it was an ugly fight and no one would have bought it. Maybe not if Joe came back.

Yep after the fight when people were talking about a rematch, Calzaghe's answer was who would pay to see that again?

Good question, no doubt a lot on here would but the masses wouldn't.

I don't see Calzaghe doing much better than he did in the first fight which was, IMO, good enough.
