Bhop Vs Joe Calzaghe

It wouldn't be a fair fight at this point in time, would have been interesting when Hopkins ducked out years ago though.

 

50/50 fight in my opinion...I'd bet on Hopkins if I had to

 

unfortunately, this will never happen now.

A prime for prime match up would go to the judges cards and be a controversial decision due to ring craft of both guys being so refined.

 

hopkins always

 

Hopkins clock is ticking.. I'm not so sure if I still want to even see this fight. But I think Hopkins at his best would take Calzaghe.

 

please tell me that was an avatar bet you lost....but for some reason i think you just like the pic.........hopkins ud

 

Hopkins any time, any place.

 

I'd favour Calzaghe now due to his style but prime for prime Hopkins wins a UD.

 

Right now, I'd say Hopkins by UD. In BHop's prime I think he would win by TKO. In the interest of full disclosure, I admit to being a huge Hopkins fan.

 

now id favour calzaghe because of his fast feet and hands and combo punching

 

Competitive prime for prime - now UD Calzaghe

 

Dominant UD for Calzaghe nowadays

 

Calzaghe would pick Hopkins apart.

 

Hopkins is too cagy, too experienced, too smart, too dirty, and too crafty to be easily beaten by anybody from 160 to 175. It would be a close fight as Hopkins is dominant against southpaws and knows how to deal with them along with Calzaghe's workrate and speed. Calzaghe's volume of punches thrown will leave a lot of openings for counterpunch opportunities by Hopkins but if Hopkins isn't very active, he could get outhustled and decisioned. The other thing that I think about with this fight is that Hopkins knows how to deal with speedy fighters...they are nothing new to him. Honestly, I think this is a true 50/50 fight if there ever was one.
