    this poll clearly shows you are a ****...Jones? :patsch

    I personally think it's a toss up between Eubank and Reid. THEN Hopkins...had Calzaghe fought him when he was younger, I would say it would've been his toughtest test and fight...I'm not gonna throw out the "Hopkins would've won statement" because I'll get hell for playing the what-if game...soooo I'll just name the tests that he DID manage to get by.

    Reid was allowed all sorts of dirty **** to occur. ****in' guy wanted to wrestle and ****.

    Eubank almost had him out a few times and Calzaghe has stated numerous times that he NEVER wants to be in a battle like that again.

    so i guess my order would be.

    Eubank
    Reid
    Hopkins

    1) I voted Kessler, he landed a lot of leather, it was very competitive for 4 or 5 rounds, and he kept fighting till the final bell.

    2) Jones fight was tougher than Hopkins, he landed a lot of meaningful punches and fought to win.

    3) Hopkins, his shots were lighter than Jones, and he landed less of them. Making a fight ugly by primarily spoiling and surviving at the expense of trying to win, is not my definition of tough.

    I'll say it. And there's no ifs ands or buts about it, HOPKINS WOULD'VE WON!

    You are clearly confused. Did Enzo and DiBella talk you into this? :think

    i remember hearing calzaghe saying kessler was actualy his hardest fight. in remember him realy hurting joe in the 4th. flash nockdowns dont count for **** like the hopkins one. but kessler realy hurt him with those uppercuts.

    I believe him. I mean whats easier then winning a fight where you really didnt land a punch? Im sure Calzaghe was going "I won despite slapping Hopkins on his back with illegal punches, damn pitty pat style is the best!"

    Maybe Hopkins came to win but after the first few rounds his aim was merely to hang on. That's undeniable.
