Only 8,000 came over to support Joe-compared to the 30,000 that came for "Fatton" in December. The night after that fight Calzaghe was awarded the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award-which should have been an indicator that he's more popular than Hatton.

A split decision. Was it the right result?

One last fight-may be 2. Roy Jones-anyone else?

No way that was a split decision. Calzaghe won the fight. I'm not sure what the judge that gave the fight to Hopkins was watching.

Nothing uglier than a Bernard Hopkins fight.

My 4 year old daughter kept asking me why the guy in the blue kept pushing them apart. Even she would rather see boxing than constant wrestling and clinching.
