He will be the third man in the ring this coming Saturday night and does anyone else think this heavily favors Calzaghe? I really think this is probably the worst possible ref for Hopkins' style...

and to add to this their is a great deal of history with Cortez and Hopkins, the last time and only time Cortez ref'd a hopkins fight was in 2004 against Robert Allen. Hopkins practically refused to fight unless Cortez was changed out and it was a big ol' mess. There were also two times prior to that in which Hopkins complained about Cortez being assigned and Cortez was removed...

If I am not mistaken I remember Hopkins main beef with Cortez back then was that he thought he favored Hispanic fighters. Hence, he thought that Cortez would try to screw him out of facing Oscar. If you wanted to get into conspiracy/politics theories, you could actually now make the case that sense Hopkins is with GBP he may actually be a bit bias toward B-Hop. Also, Cortez took a point away from Allen in that fight.
