Prime Hopkins versus Prime Calzaghe ... Let's End It Here

[Dirk Diggler UK]

And the way he fought them? Which "style" did he use?

Who gives a ****? Andrew Council ffs! He could fight him with one arm. Im focusing more on the fights that actually mattered. I personally dont see how anyone can say Hopkins style hasnt changed or "evolved" through his career.

I can't believe people think Glen Johnson is anything like on Calzaghe's level...



Johnson is the single most overrated boxer of the last 20 years.

and no i'm not joking, **** the guy is the only boxer Ottke didn't need to rob.

Yeah, shame Calzaghe couldn't fight him.

that was noob johnson
he became a better fighter later on

No he didnt, he had that style the whole time, he just didnt choose to use it.

Umm he fought Ottke AFTER he lost to Hopkins...

I agree his style has changed, but that does not mean it has evolved to a better style.

So which style did he use to fight Council? And Jackson?

Did you actually watch these fights, Dirk?

A style more suited to beating Calzaghe imo. Which was my point from the start.

Not necessarily true, but it is difficult to argue because we didnt see them in the ring when they were younger. Hop was stronger and more agressive, and his lack of agression hurt him in the Calzaghe fight.

Council? No. Jackson? Yes

You got me. Ive been e-busted! I didnt watch Prime Andrew Council! Oh the shame!

Ok, so you didn't watch Council. Cool. It's ok, it was obvious.

Now...what style did he employ against Jackson? Since you believed that he "switched" his style?
