Is hopkins the most consistent fighter ever?

In terms of consistently being well conditioned, in shape and having studied his opponent?

 

In terms of consistency? Well consistency is measured over time and Hopkins certainly performed at a high level for much longer than calzaghe did. Especially vonsidering calzaghe by the end of his career had no punching power left whatsoever and was reduced to volume slapping and hoping that he could win rounds on activity without landing a single effective punch the entire round.

I admit i may be biased. I hate limpwristed slappers with a vengeance, i dont feel a professional boxer should be awarded a round without landing clean, effective aka "eye catching/sweat flying off the head" punches. And calzaghe simply didnt throw anything you could call a punch at the end of his career

 

Yes but he still landed atleast one decent punch a round when he won a round. Calzaghe didnt throw anything you could call punches at the end.
Even at age 49 against shumenov, hopkins landed a few good right hands every round without getting caught with eye catching punches himself.
He reduced his opponents throwing rate as well by making himself less available, so even when he got pld and threw less punches....he still landed more real punches than his opponents in most rounds

 

What are you talking about? Calzaghes punches against Hopkins were truly pathetic in terms of force per punch. How they compare directly to conor mcgregor a pro boxing debutee and Pernell whitaker a Lightweight, i dont know. But what calzaghe threw at 175 is not something i can call punches.
In my humble opinion if hopkins lands 1 right hand per round and calzaghe lands 120 slaps per round, then hopkins landed more clean effective punches and i would give him the round. If you disagree then ok then
