    He's not complicated to you, but to fighters and in the ring he's definitely complicated. What Calzaghe did to beat Hopkins was literally throw punches nonstop and stay in his face all night. Calzaghe used his stamina, speed and activity to his advantage and forced Hopkins to look old. Even then, the fight was still close and 50/50.

    Ask yourself this, how many fighters can perform like Calzaghe to make Hopkins look "less confusing"?

    It was still good enough to trouble all the world class, HOF and even ATG quality fighters he beat.

    Really exiting fight.
    I hope kovalev will win but it's hard to bet against b-hop.

    I just hope the fight wont end in controversy, have a feeling b-hop would do some sh**

    How can you dismiss Hopkins consistently winning fights where he was the underdog (and a significant underdog at that)? Wouldn't that mean that he is actually underrated? Use your brain for a second.

    Whilst I do think that Kovalev will win this fight, to suggest that Hopkins is overrated and to try to demean his resume - well you really have to be from another planet.
