    I'm biased toward southpaws so I got Calzaghe simply because he is a southpaw. ( ya damn right, *****)

Bhop has experience with southpaws & is a defensive/ counterpunching mastermind. Just cause someone liek Calzaghe throws more punches doesn't mean he's gonna win. Thats just a quick dumb assumption for someone who doesn't know boxing. I think its going to be a close fight, most definitely. But Bhop will find a way to win, you can discect any fighters resume like you did above, but he gave Tito & Oscar there 1st and only KO's. Made Tarver look silly, and smacked Winky around. What else would you have liked him to do? Fight Calazaghe... well he's doing that & I'm confident he'll win.
      Calzaghe would piss on Oscar & Tito in the same night.
      BUT he didn't boil down to fight Blown up Welterweights.
      If he had he would have been derided for it.
      Something that B-Hype gets away with.

        And when was the last time Calzaghe lost AT ALL?

        As for 100% vs southpaws, this is anarguement that makes me laugh everytime some nutsucker says it. Name me a top 10 southpaw B-hop has ever fought?

        Calzaghe will school this fool, a points shutout, late TKO or Joe gets robbed badly.

          LOL at you thinking Calzaghe will knock Bhop out. Hey I'm not discrediting Calzaghe, I'm just saying he's never fought anyone with the experience that BHOP has. Especially someone as defensive minded as him. If so Tell me who even comes close. Win, Lose, or Draw Bhop has had the better comp & fustrated everyone he's fought. I think it will be a close fight, but you guys are not even recognizing Bhop for anything, its almost halrious to me.

          moofo most fighters go up in weight. I bet your fav fighter went up in weight & did ok. Tito & Oscar proved before fighting BHOP that they were worthy of fighting and beating people in that division. More so tito then oscar. I think its rediculous you can't give bhop credit for exposing those too. What about his fights verse winky & tarver.

              Oscar proved it by "beating" Felix Sturm and who else exactly at middlweight?

                At 170 lbs, a weight which Hopkins had had plenty of time to adjust too, hell he started his career at 175. Winky Wright had spent most of his career at 154, never won a title at 160 and had never fought above 160 in his career. Are you claiming Winky was a top 10 LHW now?

                  Thats kinda why I said, "More so tito then oscar" I think Oscar is a B class fighter, thats one of the reason I like BHOP, cause he was the first to knock him out & exposed him a lil. Oscar eventually beat mayorga & some people think he did ok verse mayweather.

                    9 world titles in 6 weight classes and ranked in the top 40 greatest boxers of all time not bad for a B class fighter.

                      Peroxide cleary said "Name me a top 10 southpaw B-hop has ever fought? " I don't care at what weight, Winky is a threat and one of the best Southpaws out there. Do you not agree?

                      I also think winky would beat most people at 170.
