neither guy is bigger than the other. Hopkins worked hard to fight at 160. In their primes a more active hopkins with better stamina beats a prime calzaghe.

Calzaghe worked as hard as he could and he could only make 168 without doing any weights - nothing.

Calzaghe was the bigger man.

but not by much if at all.

But it would have a bearing on the fight, it's close enough p4p as it is. Hopkins fighting out of his comfort zone against a guy who has reigned for so long? It's got the recipe for disaster.

I wouldn't be naive enough to say Calzaghe would have beaten Jones at LHW because that's not Calzaghe's weight, regardless how good Jones is.
