As for the rest well I simply don't care, the better (least boring) man won on the night, end of story.

I think they are both pretty boring..hopkins excuse however is that he is 43 years old, cal has no excuse
Yeah he is pretty good I don't think his style is very pretty to look at but that's a matter of taste I guess. I still think that he is prime, he is one of those fighters coming into their real prime around 36 (like Lennox Lewis).
I don't think Kessler was ever considered "great", I mean in the same way as example Mayweather, Cotto are.
I'd really like to see Pavlik-Calzaghe, though it prob wouldnt happen.
If he beats Pavlik I'd start putting in him in the same league as Mayweather/Cotto but before that he is just a step below.
What he really needs is a key W against someone considered amazing like himself, the wins against Lacey and Kessler are not of that category.
Problem right now of course is to find someone like that.
Dark D, how can Calzaghe destroy a prime Hopkins when he can't destroy this version of Hopkins ? Would being in england help him somehow ?
Anyway, Im not saying he is bad, just that he aint all what he is made up to be. Had he beaten Toney, RJJ, Eubank, Hopkins, Mike McCalumn, just one or more of these names when they were top, he would have been considered great. But now sadly Mikkel Kessler and Lacey are one of the better names on his record. Maybe the best opponent he has ever faced is the 43 year old over the hill Hopkins who he wasnt able to hurt at all and who almost beat him.
I know u brits are very proud of him and u should be, but he is not the new Hagler. Again I'm not saying he aint that good, but he hasnt got the record to back it up.
Also must agree with African, he shouldnt get so many points for his arm punches.
When you compare his boxing to James Toneys' or Leonards, and his fights to some of the great historic fights, he simply appears bloated. Well at least to me.
What amazes me about JC is not his ability to choose opponents not good enough to beat him or opponents good enough to beat him but too much over the hill.. It's his ability to make boxing look like crap, making every single one of his fights a total bore. Has anyone seriously seen a great fight with JC ?

Well done Joe, Wales in the house

Like all joes fights very messy. He gets the job done, though it forever will be said that he never defeated a great fighter in his prime..
Yea ok didnt expect u to start at 4 but that explains it.
Golden in that picture u look like your 16-20 years old how can u have 16 years of experience ? Or you just look very young.
Calzaghe will prob win, however had the fight been in 2001 as it should have been Hopkins would win, but in a close one. As it is now he will just get swarmed and lose a huge UD. Calzaghe is to smart to get caught, and Hopkins is not able to ko anyone anymore.
I more or less picked out random names from top 10 that I could see are pretty active.

Champs:

Fatny
Reaper
Xtreme Skills
Red Viper

Now people try to defend your title..and if you get tired of it at least pass it on to someone else thanks.
Looks like you have a wrong installation on your computer.
It is.
It is indeed the hardest game in the world
Ill fix it this weekend, promise
that was an attempt to "arse". Besides 3D works for about 99 percent now.
