Prime Joe Calzaghe vs Prime Bernard Hopkins

[Silencers]

It's a 50-50 fight to me. Hopkins was very good in his prime but Calzaghe's style will always give him trouble, I can't pick a clear winner prime for prime.

The way I see it, Joe should have fought some in the U.S to make a name for himself were it matters, and thus making his challenges legit.

yeah cuz no one knew who the **** calzaghe was

Well hopkins agreed to the fight initially.

Well hopkins agreed to the fight initially.

and then he realized he would have made about $17 profit and fought someone known for a big paycheck

How many people knew Joe Calzaghe 3 years ago?

...the **** outta here man. BHop beat De la Hoya & Trinidad in their primes (both by KO btw).

Just like Paul Williams, everyone was quick to jump on the bus until a huge speed bump got in the way and ended the ride (...and I'm still looking for all the Williams fans here who said he'd beat Cotto & Mayweather...LMAO)

BHop > Calzaghe. It'll be a good fight cause Calzaghe will press him a little. But BHop will fight his fight and frustrate Calzaghe. He comes at weird angles and lands those flush right hooks.

Again Im not discrediting Calzaghe. He's a champion for a reason. But how are people totally throwing away the chance that BHop can outclass Calzaghe? Like Bernard hasn't beaten anyone worth mentioning??

Look at Bernard's list of opponents in the past 3 years and look at Calzaghe's and see whose had the better oppositions.

No he agreed of the fee.... and 24 hours before the deal was made he wanted double.
