BHop Vs Calzaghe II at 170 lbs

[fightingfigs]

I think that extra weight BHop was carrying winded him pretty bad against Calzaghe.

To me Bhop looked as fast as Joe against pavlik, Maybe he took a page or two on how joe works his magic.


How many of you would like to see this fight? If they did fight who would win and in what fashion?

[.Mik.]

Calzaghe. By a clearer decision than before.

[fightingfigs]

I think Bhop would win in a decision

[Mozza]

Calzaghe would win comfortably again.

[MELLY-MEL...]

i think bhop was less muscled this time, and more fit. he did not train under mackie shilestone for pavlik. even if it was at 75 bhop could still come in a 70. if he can look, and feel like he did vs pavlik i think it would be a hell of a fight.

[Welsh.]

Id like to see it happen (Although I want 'Zaghe to retire)
I think BHop would change his style alot more for this fight, he'd be alot more agressive.

I see it going the distance and ending up being a split decision 'Zaghe's way

[Jim Jeffries]

I think Hopkins looked faster in comparison to Pavlik, especially by predicting his every move, in much the same way as Joe looked like crap vs Bernard, then looked great against a much less defensive fighter in Jones. Probably a close fight, much like the first one.

[.Mik.]

People need to remember that Hopkins looked faster against Pavlik because Pavlik was a lot slower than Calzaghe. You dont suddenly develop greater handspeed as a 42 year old than you had years previous to that.

I honestly have not seen BHop fight this quick since prime age. Even emmanuel steward claimed this was one of his best performances.

I think this couldve been a wight issue. I know when I train for a lower weight class I feel a lot quicker but my strength dips nasty.

Calzaghe cannot possibly fight as bad again as he did in first Hopkins fight. Joe will shut Hopkins out next time.
