Something interesting to think about for Hopkins-Calzaghe

[Orange Sneakers]

Is this some kind of joke?

Hopkins over Nunn, McCallum, Eubank, McClellan, Roy Jones?

Calzaghe over Toney, Jones, and the Watson and Eubank from The Rematch?

Hopkins bigger and stronger than Calzaghe at light-heavy??

What is this?

Calzaghe has always walked around at 195-200+ without looking the least bit chubby, and enters the ring (at super-middle) at 178-179 without consuming much fluid, just a few sweets and chocolates.

Blame HBO, not me.

I think both of those claims are due to the amount of good work they did at those weights, not based on talent alone. There is no way you can put Jones at 160 over Hopkins... he didn't stay there very long at all.

I do think that Hopkins will be weighing more on fight night come Saturday, but that is just me.

But he was 'better' than Hopkins

Clearly. He beat him at that weight, and a prime Jones would be too much for a prime Hopkins IMO.

But then again, no matter how good someone is at a weight, if they only have a few fights, how can you call them one of the best at that weight?

Mayweather Jr. looked good at 135, but anyone who says he is one of the best at that weight should shut the hell up, because he literally had 4 fights. Not enough evidence of his greatness at that weight.

You know?
