    Why is Calzaghes win over Hopkins so underated?

    He moved up in weight o challenge the Ring champ(unlike Ward)and won...after that Fight Hopkins went on to regain the Ring title ,lineal title and WBC title so he was far from shot.............Joe pushed Hopkins like no 1 ever had and made him not wanna fight.....

      Because it was a horrible win. In no way did he dominate Hopkins. Even though I feel Calz won, BHop made him look amateurish and weak. He won that fight because BHop lost it for himself.

        Because Calzaghe did nothing but slap at Hopkins all night, judges awarded his garbage activity. Hopkins should have won.

            Because he got knocked down and looked like **** against a 43 year old. Hopkins should have won that fight too.

                Good win for Joe.

                One of the 3 fighters he fought who were in the Top 5 of the Division being fought at.

                You know your resume is thin when you only have 3 fighters who were in the Top 5 of their division and one of them is 44 years old and the other one is dead average.

                The Kessler fight shows how good Calzaghe was. Shame his resume is so thin.

                  Because Calzaghe is white.
