    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.
    Tell me why Calzaghe fought a guy just recently that Alfonso Gomez has a win over, tell me that... You can try to discredit Bernard all you want but his resume speaks for itself, he jumped a weight class and beat the lineal champion what more do you want the guy to do?

The minds of Roach, Richardson, John David Jackson and Bernard Hopkins will come up with a game plan and Bernard is one of the best at executing game plans taking away what the other fighter does best. I just cant see Bernard losing, will it be ugly?, probably so, with a couple of effective headbutts but thats just the type of fighter Hopkins is and it works.
          calzaghe was playin with bika for the first half of the fight and didn't get serious till he got cut.joe could play around and still win easy.

            Because the sad yanks refuse to watch a fighter outside the USA.
            He had to fight some loser of the Contender to get noticed.
            After he spanked the second coming of Tyson of course.
            Which most yanks never acknowledged either.
            Calzaghe would beat ANYBODY Hopkins has beaten and easier.

                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.
                your feet must taste good because you are killing your self slowly

                  Bernard Hopkins 6ft 1"
                  Reach 75"
                  Starts career at 175.

                  Joe Calzaghe 5ft 11"
                  Reach 73"
                  Starts career at 168.

                  Who is the bigger man?

                    bernard is naturally a light heavyweight so he was not really jumping weight he was finally fighting someone his size.yeah calzaghe fought manfredo but manfredo is a super middleweight not a welter weight comin up
