    Get your facts straight, Calzaghe has a 73-74 inch reach.
    Your right my mistake.

    That still doesnt change the fact that Hopkins is 6-1..and will weigh close to 190 pounds....like he did against Tarver.

      Calz is 5-10...with a 68 inch reach and has fought at 168 FOREVER.
      Wow, you just claimed that Oscar De La Hoya is bigger than Joe Calzaghe.

      Obviously, the bigger De La Hoya looks thin as a rail at 168.

        Calzaghe already just fought a huge 168 lber in Kessler. Fighting Hopkins wont be a huge difference.

              Height and reach doesn't necessarily mean he's the bigger guy though, just means he's taller and more rangey.. Kessler was 6'1 with a bigger reach, gave Calzaghe a little trouble early on but he proved how he could handle being the smaller guy.

                Kessler is no Hopkins.

                  Using your logic.

                  Roy Jones fought at heavyweight which means he's bigger than David Haye and Enzo Mac.

                  Correct?

                    In this case, Hopkins is no Kessler.

                    Hopkins doesn't use his height or reach to his advantage as much as Kessler does, in a fight with Calzaghe, Hopkins' height and reach advantage is pointless as he won't be trying to outbox Calzaghe.
