    He might have but he fitted into 175 nicely and hes' all muscle which means he's going to have to lose muscle to get to 175. He also started his career there.

      Yeah he made it close as hell though. I had it 114-113 Calzaghe. If Hopkins had a round or 2 more stamina....he probably would have won! imo

        A better question is: If Hopkins loses to two white boys in a row, will he commit suicide?

          True but I just think Hopkins is a bad stylistic match up for anyone he can make any fight close.

            Yeah but he wasn't in shape at the time

            he is muscle but even so i think i remember a bit where a reporter asked him how making weight was goung and he said something like:

            "It's a struggle. I'm eating all the time"

            I think.

            + he fought Winky at 170, 2 pounds more for a gym rat like Hopkins wouldn't be hard imo

                  You see those quotes that you have stored in your sig? Add this post of yours that I just responded to. Not my post, the one I quoted that you wrote lol.

                    True but remember when he stepped up to fight Tarver, and HBO commented on how large his biceps looked compared to when he was at 160. I still think even if it has a tiny effect on his stamina he can't afford to lose anymore of his workrate.

                      Hopkins by decision, but one that could easily turn into a stoppage if he figures Kelly out quick enough to break him down.

                      I hope this fight happens, because when Kelly looks worse than Joe did against Hops, the haters will more than likely cry.
