yall seriously think calzaghe would beat hopkins???

[Randall_Hopkirk]

i love calzaghe, but no way he is stopping hopkins. b-hop would win this fight. it would be a tough fight, but hop is too experienced.

He won't stop Hopkins but he'll outwork and out manoeuvre him over the full 12 to get a decision. Of course he has to get past Kessler first.

i think b-hop would frustrate the **** outta calzaghe but i do think calzaghe will get by kessler

[RisAri0]

I see B-Hop beating any southpaw PERIOD....he just knows too much advantages against them...I guarantee it'd be an ugly ass fight tho, due to bernard...

Taylor beat Hopkins, for Christ's sake, and he's got half the handspeed and a 10th of the workrate of Calzaghe, not to mention a fraction of the experience. Hopkins would make a good effort of it, but I don't think he'd be the magic bullet for Calzaghe.

Beating Winky Wright doesn't make Hopkins the new Mr. Invincible.

Calzaghe wouldn't allow him to get by with the rough stuff inside without getting just as bad in return, and he's too quick for Hopkins to **** around with up close anyway. Hopkins had the tools and the smarts to beat Winky Wright, and while he might have the smarts to put up a decent effort against Calzaghe, he just ain't got the tools for the win. I'd predict an easy lopsided decision win for Calzaghe, with Hopkins claiming "I really won the fight, everybody knows it but the judges", when in reality he will have ran constantly and barely worked enough to win more than a few rounds. Then he'll try to get a rematch, claiming he'll KO Calzaghe next time, so the judges can't screw him, and still end up losing a decision, in a replay of the first fight.

He'd try the same tricks he used against Eastman, but it wouldn't work well against Calzaghe.

Eubank is 1000 times better than Hopkins. Hopkins would get tagged untill he loses to a UD. Hopkins would run the whole fight.

wtf? in what dimension is eubanks 1000 times better than hopkins or even a lil better? oh nevermind that dimension is called europe.

outmanuever? naw. outwork? yes. outmanuever? naw. Hopkins is the steven segal of boxing. he can beat you up and box circles around you and he didint move around much.

I don't think anyone in this fight is stopped.. Joe stands a chance if BHop really did slip to the level he LOOKED against Wright. But, I think it's just the way Wright makes people look. And even if Hopkins did slip, I think that Hopkins still stands a chance. Either way, I'd pick Hopkins. Too cagey a fighter.

[p1mpinp3rfect]

yes yes yes i think calzaghe would win , b-hop cant fight a whole three minutes of a round , and cal has still got it , at least a lil bit , i dont think hed stand for the bull**** that winky did but thats just me ,its close enough that hop could still pull it off

[drvooh]

im reading thru some threads
and i see random people say "calzaghe would tko hopkins"
and "hopkins cant handle calzaghe's speed"
wtf has calzaghe done to convince yall that he would stand a chance against b-hop??
cal has fought mostly bums his whole career and now all the sudden he can ko hopkins?

explain

They were only called bums after Joe beat them all....and there was a very similar title to a thread a ways back " Do you all seriously think Calzaghe will beat Lacy ? "...nuff said...Joe beats him any time ANY age

Prime for Prime, Hopkins could stop, but would COMPLETELY beat Calzaghe.
