  • The better vesion of Hopkins

    Just wondering who you think faced the better version of Hopkins, Jones or Calzaghe?

    Most consider Hopkins green for the Jones fight, ive heard some say he was only just ranked in the top 10 of the division.

    While Calzaghe fought Hopkins when he was the man of the his division, but Bernard was almost 43 and two divisions above the weight which he did most of his work.

    Im not asking for the better win just the better version of hopkins.

      Physically he was probably better for the Jones fight, having more in the tank. But he was a superior fighter for the Calzaghe fight in that he was much smarter.

        The version that fought calzaghe was much smarter,hopkins never relied on physical gifts so his age isnt as much of an issue,it was his experience and ring smarts that make him such a dangerous opponent later in his career

          The 93 version clearly. Hopkins wasnt as Green as people would have u believe but by the time he fought Joe his stamina and workrate had become a real problem. Still a top drawer fighter tho, ****ers still goin strong!
