Has Hopkins ever encountered a Speed merchant with the workrate of Joe before?
What fights has Hoipkins been in where he has shown he can deal with a big guy with so much Speed , footwork and stamina?
I have been struggling to find an example so would love some of those with supreme knowledge to point them out.
Thanks.

Hopkins has seen every style there is. Joe is a slapper and a mover. easy work.

Roy Jones. Thread Closed.

And that Roy Jones would have KO'd Calzaghe within 8 round

**FRKO** · 04-18-2008, 02:37 PM

No he wouldn't. Joe doesn't get KO'd. End of story.

Hes face no-one like Calzaghe and i think Calzaghe has face a clone of Hopkins in Eubank he loves the right hand takes time off in the fight and uses his head.

And was 9-0 with Southpaws until Calzaghe.

You think Eubank was a clone of Hopkins? I have never heard such a comparison. I will say though, that Eubank was probably a much harder fight for Joe, especially as it was like his 22nd fight compared to Eubank's 45, than the version of Hopkins which Joe will fight. People underestimate Eubank. The guy was hard as nails, fast, and he hit very hard.

Indeed didnt Chris Eubank fight up at cruiserweight or somewhere around that later in his career?..

EDIT-Yes he did, i checked. He fought Carl Tompson at cruiserweight twice, lost both one by UD 12 and the other TKO 10.
