When is the last time Hopkins lost to somebody smaller than him???

[msagrain]

I'm pretty sure joe could step up to heavyweight if he wanted a beat them.

[QUOTE=Shanus;3003795]I think you're right about Hopkins being an elite fighter, I just don't think he can match the freshness of a younger lion in Calzaghe, in other words, he's too inactive and relies more on his opponents weaknesses than his own strengths.. Calzaghe has no obvious weaknesses, he's vulnerable to the straight right hand as most south paws are, but don't you think Calzaghe will be expecting Hopkins to throw his trademark shot?



Hopkins is the TALLER fighter, doesn't mean bigger.

And if Hopkins comes in at 189 vs Calzaghe he can kiss his ass goodbye, he'll be way too lethargic, it may work on a drained Antonio Tarver or a blown up Winky, but not with Calzaghe who has admitted he's an animal at 175.[/QUOTE]


We shall see...I think Hopkins skill set is unlike something Calzaghe has ever seen before.

5-11...73 reach.

6-1....75 reach whos the bigger fighter???

Did you read my Paul Williams Tyson reply?? That **** doesnt matter as much as body build.

Dude stop.

You are obviously not one for making that mistake in the first place.Calzaghe is naturally bigger than Hopkins anyway. Calzaghe walks around as a ****ing heavyweight.

Wheres my answer?

No doubt, but I don't think he has the physical qualities he once had to reinforce his skill set.
