      Calzaghe has been looking to move up for years. Hopkins could probably make it, but Calzaghe wanted to come up.

        B-Hop would surely prefer to have Joe C havin to move up to try and take his title than movin down himself to try to take Joe's. Bernard is legit at 175 now and after strugglin to make 168 for so long Joe C will be too.

          Calzaghe wanted to move up anyway I'm pretty sure.

            hopkins moved from 160 to 175 and has only fought 2 fights at 175. He skipped 168. his last fight was at 170.........He can definently make 168. Its just that it takes to much out of calzaghe to make 168. many people dont realize calzaghe is actually the bigger man.

              i would have gave this fight to joe all the way at 168 because that would have been to much up &down weight at his age

                Have you stood next to both?

                I don't believe Calzaghe is bigger.

                    Actually it is because Hopkins chose not to fight at 168. Contrary to some beliefs Calzaghe would have never left 168 if Hopkins would have moved down.
