If Hopkins beats Calzaghe he is P4P #1

[215Chaingang]

Calzaghe & Hopkins both walk around at the same weight my friend

so that meant they both was beating up on little men right? that damn paul williams and tommy hearns can't win either?

Double standards eh? I know for a fact Calzaghe has struggled making 168. He could easily fight at 180-190 pounds if he had too.

Please tell me who Oscar and Tito would beat who have fought Calzaghe?
Forget Manfredo...
Could they beat kessler?

You can't make that comparison since Tito and ODLH fought BHOP at Middle, not super middle. Plus Tito did beat Joppy pretty bad.

Personally, I think whoever wins BHOP or Calzaghe, they should get loads of credit & be in the top 3 P4P. For BHOP, he will once again prove he's an all time great and that he exposed an undefeated European champ at 42! If Calzaghe wins, he proves to the world that he is an elite fighter and can dead all the haters who say he's been hiding in wales his whole career.

Difference is Hopkins was beating MUCH SMALLER MEN ALL HIS CAREER.
His defining fights are against 2 men who fought best at 147lbs.
Calzaghe was a natural SMW who has grown into a LHW.
He didn't start at LHW did he?
And he hasn't lost yet either...unlike B-Hype who has lost to the best he faced ...who funnily enough were not natural 147lbers.

Calzaghe has had 10 fights at Light Heavyweight, anything abovr 168 is LH.

The highest he weighed 170+ in 7 of them and early in his career as well so I dont know how you came up with he has grown into a LHW, he always was big and could easily make LHW in the early part of his career or moved up to fight Roy Jones...wait lets not even go there There was an interview where calzaghe openly admitted he wanted nothing to do with Jones Jr earlier.

What has Roy Jones got to do with anything?
And why didn't Bore-hard chase the rematch?
Cos he found his easy comfort zone at 160 where there were NO SERIOUS CHALLENGERS for 10 years.
At least Calzaghe fought bigger guys at 168 who as you might guess...could have fought themselves at 175.
Tell me who BORE HARD has beaten who could beat Calzaghe?
Answer this please.

So you believe Hopkins is smaller than Calzaghe.
Answer to qualify your credibility.
