    Who did you have winning Cloud vs Campillo?

    I thought Campillo won it. When does Hopkins fight Ward or Dirrell? When does Ward and Dirrell fight each other?

    Edit: I think Dwyer even said on his youtube that Hopkins posted on his Twitter about how he thought Campillo was robbed in that fight. So, did your god Hopkins take on a fighter who lost his last fight? What a great win by Hopkins.

    Hopkins sure seems like he has a lot left in the tank for his old age, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the so called talented fighters in front of him. Hopkins is so great that he could beat Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell on the same night.

    Edit: It's funny with the Double Standards on this Forum. When ever Calzaghe beats someone they're a bum, but when ever Hopkins beats the same/similar competition, it's some great win.

    Campillo won but I don't think you can take an awful lot from that fight. Campillo is a big awkward, southpaw who throws punches in bunches.

    B-Hop was the underdog, hes 48 & was coming off one of the worst performances of his career, he was also inactive for nearly a year!

    Sure Cloud isn't a great fighter by any stretch but for a 48yr old to toy with him like that and make history is an unbelievable fate that deserves respect.

      You're right, maybe I am a bit harsh on the 48 year old.

      But I think that I am not too harsh on fighters like Ward and Dirrell who should have already fought each other by now.

      Am I wrong for wanting to see two skillful fighters such as Andre Ward and Andre Dirrell go at it? I just hate when I see all these skillful fighters fighting competition that seems to favor them at winning instead of fighting another guy with similar talent.

      I am still getting over an Ear infection, so if I came off as a prick, I do apologize. I've never had an ear infection before and it is pretty freaking painful and I'm deaf out my left ear right now.

        the ref saved campillo in the first round, it would have ended in a stoppage if the illegal 8 count wasn't counted.

          Cloud was lucky in the Campillo fight in that the judges gave the nod to Cloud plus he had supposedly learnt his biggest lesson of his career. Watching the fight last night it looked like he didn't learn much from the issues that he had against Campillo.

          Its back to the drawing board for Cloud.
