Has B-Hop ever faced anyone like Joe Cal before?

[squealpiggy]

Well Hopkins fought Roy Jones Jr... Didn't go too well for him though.

I know Joe Cal hasnt fought a fighter as dirty as B-Hop but he has been in some battles thats required him to take it to another level. Has Hop ever faced someone as relentless and as frenetic as Joe Cal?

Simple answer.....No and not even close.

B-Hop has never fought anyone like Calzaghe and vice versa. I can't wait for this fight. I think it's probably the biggest test for both fighters.

nobody has fought anyone like Calzaghe.

He completely foils anyones style he comes against. In fact Calzaghe is a spoiler, he stops you doing what you do well, and makes you look ****. It's the fact that he throws so many punches that makes him exciting. Around half of what he throws is just a nuisance factor stopping his opponant getting anything off and ensuring he can't set his feet.

JC vs B-hops

two fighters who rely on counterpunching spoil the others work.......................GREAT!

Shame it didn't happen 5 years ago.....For Hopkins at least.

It is.

This Hopkins has half the chance Hatton did against Floyd.

Yea it would have been one of the biggest fight hypes at the time. I'm not saying Calzaghe's resume is bad, but I think he was to fight Hopkins at the time, he would have been recognized by all the big Americans LHWs at the time and been offered some big fights.

Calzaghe would have beat him then....Like he's gonna beat him now. I'm Hopkins fan tho and have been for a long time....But Calzaghe is the type of fighter that can foil Hopkins.

Exactly, then he would have probably gone on to face big names like Johnson and Tarver. If only if only.

Calzaghe foils everyone. It's what he does.
