        I know.. but as far as one punch power, its probably pretty accurate. If we were talking about "Who can punch harder when throwing a combination" it might be different. I don't think B-Hop has thrown a combo since the Colonies declared independence.

            I did... I haven't watched Hopkins since the second Taylor fight... I just couldn't sit through another B-Hop fight. From what I've read and seen in the highlights, B-Hop blew his ass away.... and he DID throw combinations. If he can do that twice, I'll watch his next fight.

              Hopkins hits harder. Calzaghe likely slaps so much because he's worried about his brittle hands, so he made the adjustment successfully and goes for volume over power.

                i know so.

                ask chris eubank, he said calzaghe hit him harder than anyone he's ever fought which includes nigel benn!

                everyone he's fought has said similar things, byron mitchell said he's never been hit so hard and so often than he was by calzaghe, a guy who regulary spars kelly pavlik and fought other top fighters. other fighters and sparring partners of calzaghe have said the same.

                calzaghe hurt kessler in their fight with a body shot, wobbled roy in the 7th and even roy said calzaghe hits harder than he thought he would and that was an old broken handed calzaghe.

                  I didn't know that about Eubank... That does say something to Joe's strength, because Eubank has been in with some monsters before.

                    Yeah and Hopkins said Calzaghe hits like his sister.

                      Well if thats true, lets hope Hopkins never gets into a fight with his sister... He'll have yet another loss on his record.
