    Without the years of hand injuries it's very little doubt Calz would've ended it early for Hops. If Hop had the balls to move up to fight JC in his prime he would've fallen early. Too bad he avoided the champ for years because it "doesn't make history" - Bernard Hopkins.

      . Please find me the time that Hopkins had problem with someones pucnh. handpriblems my ass. Calzaghe never had much power, even the most featherfisted guys knock out opponents early in their careers, because those opponents twend to suck.

        Calzaghe was never really champ until he had about 18 defenses of his crap strap.

            Hitting the man so hard he wanders around the ring going to the wrong corner multiple times, after the fight had slurred speech, immediately talked about retiring, and took several months off to recover doesn't indicate Hop had major problems with Calzaghe's power? I don't know what to say to you it's obvious you won't give Joe credit for badly hurting Hopkins in a fight anywhere else in the world except in front of the notorious vegas judges (see countless bad decisions, ) would have been close to a shutout.

              Hopkins after the fight: "Calzaghe punches worse than my sister".

              And a shot Calzaghe beata prime Roy Jones.

                What are you joking. He had a flash knockdown in the first round then went on to be the Zsolt Erdei of the division for 10 years.

                    Did you forget Hopkins use to be more agressive in his younger days? Hopkins was one bad mofo back then.

                      Just a shame bernard wasn't saying that when he was faking injury and walking to the wrong corner.
