    Hopkins.


    He knocked Joe Lipsey out cold and he spanked Steve Frank with virtually the first punch of the fight a right hand followed by a left hook.

    Not stellar oposition, but still.

    I thought he hurt Jermain Taylor too.

    Who else put Trinidad away for good?

      calzaghe back in the day hit about 2X harder than b-hop, now it's about even. hopkins hits harder for the majority of punches but 1 punch power? probably calzaghe still.

          Popkins = more raw power
          Cal = accumulation power

            Calzaghe can't punch for ****. He has 1 legitimate KO against a nobody. Hopkins has like 10.

              niether fighter is a big hitter! but i gave hopkins the nod just because he put calzaghe down and landed the (very)ocasional "power"punch (compared to joe`s "power shots") but boxing isnt all about whos got the most power!
              hopkins needs to "man up" and admit he got out-boxed!
              i was a fan of hopkins but he aint man enough to admit defeat! so in my eyes he loses credebility!
              beating pavlik wasn`t that impressive! pavlik was just an overhyped chump!

                They are both probably pretty similar in the power department.

                Young Calzaghe was more of a power puncher than he is now, but he messed up his hands in training or something so he had to switch styles.

                  I'd say B-hop.
                  Who throws more - Calzaghe.
