Who has more in ring skills and boxing IQ? Bernard Hopkins or Joe Calzahe?

[Technical_Skill]

Calzaghe, he's the best at adapting to his opponents and he makes proper adjustments too, its not like he gets desperate and throws a zillion windmill slaps hoping the judges will give him rounds on workrate.

Taken from the last thread that got too big.

Who is the smarter fighter? Who has a higher boxing IQ? In ring smarts..adjustment? Defense? Footwork?

Keep in mind boxing is more than "punches"

It's close.. As much as I dislike Both fighters.. I have to say.. B-Hop knows every trick in the book and his ring savvy is second to none..

As for Calzaghe.. He is perhaps the best "during" fight adjuster in the game..
He finds a way to win..

I agree with this.. I don't like the topic creator, he is a psycho-path and that is why he is on my ignore-list. He has some kind of hate for white fighters, then he blatantly lies and says no he likes Vitali, yet he makes topics attacking Calzaghe and Vitali on a daily-basis. Yet, he purposely attacks all white fighters. He is a ****ing utter ******, and he should be committed to a hospital before he hurts others or himself.

Find one thread where I've attacked Vitali you idiot. Good luck on making one up

Good post. Respect for trying to be objective.

Speaking of that, I'd really like to have Tunney come on here and try to be objective and explain why he picked Joe (other than our usual guess as to why)

[S.G.]

B-Hop is all skills and IQ, his physical talents are very unremarkable

so considering he is a top 50 ATG based purely off smarts and skills it's obviously him

Calzaghe is very skilled too. More skilled than his resume would suggest actually

[hammerhiem]

BHop has more ring smarts and IQ but Calzaghe has the ability to adapt mid fight like no other fighter, his ability to adjust to what is in front of him is his best asset.

More so very talented, if he didnt have an idiot father for a trainer he could have been even better.

Ermm now this is where the buck stops,

He is very talented no doubt.

But what are these great adaptations he makes during fights?

[S A M U R A I]

that's awesome and all, but can you justify that opinion?

Bernard is the better technical fighter, but Joe's skills are underrated. Whether you like it or not, Joe had a style that was hard to **** with. The Kangaroo Gigantic Bunny Rabbit Nightmare Style.

Both are/were great fighters and I'm a fan of both. My man TalkBoxing knows what's up.

Translation: He throws alot of punches, jumps out, jumps in, throws alot of punches.
