What does it say about Calzaghe that fans give him credit for Hopkins's achievements?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

No its not. Take the Extreme example with two boxers not punching and one goes forward and the other goes backwards then its SELFEXPLANATORY, that the aggressor wins.

An extreme example that never happens in real life?

Give it up.

If both fighters threw no punches it would be scored even.

The scoring criteria is effective aggression not just aggression.

It was for the Ring title

Which was the lineal title since the previous lineal champ had retired, correct?

Joe threw more, landed more and at a higher percentage.

End of story really.

Ok. Show me.

[DARKSEID]

Well because Calzaghe fans don't have anything to brag about.

Also, Hopkins beat Calzaghe.

Calzaghe just might be the single most overrated fighter of all time.

He didn't land anything. The only effective punches came from Hopkins.

I had Hopkins winning almost every round.

No, Zslot Erdei was the lineal champion.

Show you what? The Scoring Criteria of Boxing? Do you not know it?

There's Monte Cox's write up on it and the External Link from Boxrec's scoring page.

Effective Aggression
Clean punches
Ring Generalship
Defense

4 scoring criteria.

Not simply aggression. That would be pretty stupid if simply moving forwards would be a scoring criteria.
