In the rematch with Taylor, off memory, he was even less active and took less risks than in the first fight.
Surely going into the Calzaghe fight, he should have known about Calzaghe's workrate. He should have taken more risks and been busier in the Calzaghe fight as well.
His losses have all been very similar, he isn't dumb but when the scorecards are announced, he acts surprised. He should have known better than this IMO.

That's one thing that has always annoyed me about Hopkins is how he reacts when he losses. He has this absolute stunned look on his face like he doesn't know what's happening. Like he can't wrap it around his head how he actually didn't win. Then will be the first to go on about how the sport doesn't want him around.

Everytime you see the same look & hear the same thing from him. He just had 36 minutes to convince, yet spends just as much energy convincing with his facial expressions & suggestions of corruption to his defeats.

I really thought Hopkins beat Calzaghe. I thought HBO was so pro Calzaghe especially with the compu box stats. Really HBO? 223 punches landed on BHOP that night.

The only fighter in recent years thats beaten Hopkins clearly was Dawson.

Yup...and he won both Taylor fights too. He acted "stunned" because both Taylor and Calzaghe landed for shit.
