    "Evolved"

    That's why I question if you have seen a prime B-Hop. Nothing has changed. He is more preservative due to not having the stamina he once had and picks his shots, there is your difference. If you call that evolving, I don't know what to tell you.

        And even that came years later...like maybe after Joppy.

            not surprised the poll is close
            at what weight? because realistically the only weight they could have fought at in their primes was 168
            calzaghe close decision,simply too much activity,simple as that

                  So what "style" did Hopkins employ against John David Jackson again?

                  You did say you watched that fight...right?

                      If a 43 year old Bernard Hopkins nearly beat Calzaghe, including knocking him down, a prime Hopkins would beat Calzaghe.
