    Does this make Hopkins great?



    Study this picture. You should notice almost instantley the size differance between Joe and Oscar. It's a bloody disgrace how Hopkins gets to fight Welterweights and then gets called a great because he knocked him out.

    He will finally meet a man his OWN size.

    Look how many fighters Oscar fought that he towered over and was way bigger than.

          He is bigger than Hopkins (1 inch smaller although it doesn't look it) but I think he is built bigger naturally.

          Nope, no excuses.

            Glen Johnson? Antwon Echols? Howard Eastman? John David Jackson?

            Oh by the way,

            Joe Calzaghe: 5 feet and 11 1/2 inches tall
            Felix Trinidad: 5 feet and 11 inches tall

            Trindad fit into the middleweight frame. You have a good case for Oscar, but not Trinidad.

                  maybe.

                  I definetely think Joe is a bigger man though.

                  He walks around at 14 stone he says in his book.

                  Hops has a tiny waist and always looks in shape.

                    I will say this, Im 6'3" and i have met Joe seen him a few times and he does have quite a presence, which i dont think comes across as much on TV.
                    I couldnt relly comment on Hopkins.
                    My fear would be has joe the power to stop hopkins, if it goes the distance could be very interesting
