Bernard Left Hand Has Gotten A Hell Of A Lot Better

[realheavyhands]

He Was A 2 Handed Fighter Vs Pavlik And Looked Dman Good.. He Should Fight Dawson Roy And Calzaghe Again And Maybe Glenn Johnson

[TheGreatA]

Hopkins always had a very good jab and a left hook but he only used the right against Calzaghe because that's the punch Joe is most vulnerable to.

Calzaghe was able to adjust however and Hopkins lacked the conditioning to start mixing it up in the later rounds.

[MANGLER]

B-Hop relies on his counter right a lot, but the hook is always there if he can land the right solidly first. I think he's always had a good left hand, just not his primary weapon.

[Mr. Ryan]

It's not that his left hand improved, it's that he was facing a squared-up opponent who gave Hopkins good angles to land left hooks on. Fighting a southpaw like Tarver or Calzaghe, not so easy to get the left in.
