    u are flat out wrong dude

    Maybe we should put it to poll?

    Was Hopkins more of an open fighter in 2001 than he was in 2008?

    It will be a landslide.

      Get a grip man, Benn ended him. Unfortunate but true.
      By that time McClellan didn't like to spar according to Steward.

            make a poll if u like it will make no difference to my opinion i know how to assess a fighters credentials better than u clearly and the poll will probably by me reflective of how many fans each fighter has or how little a fan base a fighter has we all know Hopkins is not the most popular fighter on these boards because of his robust personality where as Calzaghe is flavour of the month

              It was in a book I read a while back, Steward said he would spar but would only go for the knockout in sparring as well so it didn't account for much.

                  Tarver would have beaten back then for a start

                  Kessler backs up in straight lines and has the defence of a battered wife when he is attacked the hands go up and he goes back in a straight line he clearly cannot deal with southpaws and he does not seem able to adjust, what makes u think Kessler is better than he is ive probably seen more of Kessler than u and i dont think he is as good as u clearly do but i guess being a former Joe victim u have to make him look better than he is cause a 43 year old is Joes best win

                  Tarver would outbox him

                    So he did spar then. LOL!

                    So 3 fights and god knows how many rounds in the gym in 2 years and he had a brain injury that was not picked up on. Jeez, cmon.
