Calzaghe for definite I think. Hopkins' wily ring skills will not be enough to put down Calzaghe and his terminator-like qualities, IMO.

I think Hopkins time is over. He doesn't have the "fight in him" that he used to. That happens where you reach 110!

i so want Calzaghe to beat Hopkins. and I want it to be a knock out

 

[AndyM]

So who won then?

Calzaghe showed why he has been world champion for so long. Hopkins didn't have the engine to beat Joe and didn't come forward at all. Bernard even had to fake a couple of groin shots to get his breath back.

For someone as accomplished as Bernard he sure looks like he has been punched in the face ALOT

He ain't called the Pride of Wales for nothing

Yeah, quite a scrapy fight - but was always going to be with Hopkins. Not the most enjoyable to watch either but very glad Calzaghe won (and I don't think the result was questionable at all). Calzaghe has been at the top of the game for so long and it's good to see him finally getting the international recognition and kudos he deserves.

Joe won on pressing the fight and work output but he has to be the lightest punching super middle-light heavy champ in history. Quantity over quality.:wink1:

Trust me, you don't want to be hit by one of Calzaghes 'light' punches! Hopkins didn't! thats why he faked being punched to the groin and at one point he didn't know which was his corner.
Hopkins was beaten fair and square.......by quality.
