When Hopkins Beats Calzaghe, Will You Say He Beat Another Small Guy?

Just wondering the sentiment before the fight how people think, because after I want to see if any minds change.

Yes.

I wouldn't because Joe Cal fought at a higher weight than Hopkins his whole career. I would call it Hopkins best win ever though!

Hopkins is naturally smaller I believe. Hopkins was a MW for most of his career, and correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't Calzaghe been at SMW his whole career before this fight?

You are completely correct sir, although Hopkins has the advantage of having actually fought at Light Heavyweight before.

Of course, B-Hop is practically a midget.

If Joe wins against someone if that calibre, there's no question that he will get more respect. I don't think anyone who knows boxing can classify Hopkins as "another small guy".

Should he lose, some will say that Calzaghe was too small, much like they've said about Oscar, Tito, and Wink. Conversley, should he win, many will say he simply beat up an old man.

technically calzaghe is the bigger fighter. hopkins campaigned as a middleweight and calzaghe as a super middleweight.

No the haters will say Calzaghe never fought anybody and wasn't all that. At least we'll finally be free of the incessant Calzaghe pickle smooching that clogs up the internet daily.

No ****in excuses necessary for the loser of this fight, even though their huggers will make plenty of them.
