  • Who is greater, Joe Calzaghe or Bernard Hopkins?

    Obviously Hopkins had more historical accomplishments than Joe but Joe also had beaten him yet also it was a very very competitive fight that many had Hopkins winning to which I also did have Hopkins winning, but their match aside who is greater than the other?

    The Undefeated Two division champ or the Oldest Middleweight Champion and the Oldest Unified Light Heavyweight champion in the world?

    I go with Joe because he had the more crowd-pleasing style. B-Hop accomplished more but man, could be put a crowd to sleep. Haha. Good question though and it's very close IMO although I know some will disagree.

      I picked B-hop because he accomplished more and had a better resume.

      And I like B-hop also, one of my favorite fighters,

          85 year old bhop and roy jones sent much younger calzaghe crawling on the canvas, imagine what they would do to him in their primes.

            Better resume, more iconic reign, oldest world champion of all time, ring IQ.

            B-Hop.

                Hopkins by far.

                Oldest World Champion in history.

                Better resume by far.

                I also thought Hopkins outboxed Joe when they fought in addition to dropping him. Hopkins landed the cleaner, harder shots. Calzaghe came back towards the end but Hopkins clowned him at times.

                Hopkins has achieved much more and leaves a greater legacy.

                Joe Calzaghe was a unique talent though and is still a great boxer even though Hopkins is greater.

                  B-Hop is greater in every sense.
