    prime Joe beats prime Hopkins for the same reason he beat old hopkins as an old man, Bhop isn't a slick fighter and would get outworked.

    Didn't Hopkins display against Pavlik show you fcukers anything? it wasn't Hopkins being old that lost him the fight it was the pace he was forced to fight at and the pressure he was put under.

    Style make fights not age.

          Calzaghe isn't in B-Hop's level, no offense. I'd pick B-Hop to stop Calzaghe late.

            You obviously never watched a prime hopkins

            Was hopkins prime against Pavlik? Was he prime against Calzaghe? Obviously not. Styles do make fights, which is why a PAST-PRIME hopkins beat pavlik and not calzaghe, that obviously doesn't mean he's still not old as dirt in both fights.

              Past prime Hopkins had a better style to beat Joe than prime Hopkins.

                  because hopkins was such a notable puncher and a force his whole career, what a come forward juggernaut he was.

                    Of course i've watched prime BHop, i've seen most of his fights.

                    For the record I put Hopkins a million miles above Calzaghe All time, but Calzaghe is, was and always would have been a horrendous style matchup for Hopkins.

                    You are so right, Calzaghe beats everyone @ any weight, HE IS GOD!!!
                    Stop being an ass and go read what i wrote in teh RJJ vs Calzaghe thread.
