It is likely Calzaghe can stop Hopkins in 4 rounds, somewhat easily...

Why, you had it 117-111, didn't you!

 

All of this will be cleared up on the 19th, who cares to debate it anymore. Calzaghe's going to annihilate him and get no credit, end of story.

 

I watched it again and re-scored it 7-4-1 for a 116-113 Hopkins.

 

Yeah...we're just going round in circles...let's wait for the fight.

 

116-112 actually.

But why do you keep editting my post to hide that you actually tried to call Hopkins a natural LHW because of his one fight there....is it because that means Hopkins wins vs Tito, Oscar, Winky, etc. ARE THAT MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR??? Or that it lends even greater credance to his win over Tarver???

Anyway, how did you score the fight??? 114-114??? :rofl The fight was EASY to score...Hopkins outworked him, landed the cleaner and harder shots, displayed the greater defense throughout, dictated the pace of the fight and WHERE the fight took place...

And I can see a better arguement for 117-111 than I can for 115-113...so...again, it was NOT A CLOSE FIGHT!!!

 

The point is Sues is that Wright at 170 lacks movement, is totally feather fisted and throughout his entire career, can't deal well with quick handed movers. Most guys 168-175 bulldoze him easily, he's not meant for the weight.

His effectiveness even at 160 dropped significantly from that of 154.

Dropping even 3-4 rounds to Wright is not something a top LHW would do.

How do you think Clinton Woods would have handled the immobile, fat Wright for example?

 

So one fight at a weight he had not fought at in over 17 years...and that means he was naturally that weight??? Because he held the weight well and dominated???



Hopkins training regimine is second to none....he could go to HW and look good there. That is a testament to the man...but does not mean he is natural there.

Dec...you are better than that...come on.

Wright actually landed 152?:yep

 

He's a natural MW that made the transition to LHW very well; he looked like a natural at that weight...testament to the man, etc.

 

1- Wright's game NEVER was predicated by movement. He was always slow footed and plodding...

2- He was also always feather fisted...but again, that is not his game.

3- Im sorry, but Winky Wright is a tough fight for ANYONE! His shell defense, great jab and timing makes it IMPOSSIBLE for a fighter to dominate him.

4- Im picking Tarver vs Woods...Ive always felt Woods was overrated. BUT, I AM PRAYING THAT I AM WRONG (as I cant stand Milkdud and would LOVE to see him lose).

 

167; Hopkins landed 152.

 

I don't know what you're talking about. Hopkins was fresh as a daisy going into the 12th. And he was moving for 12 rounds mind you. It was Winky that was DYING at around the 8th round on because he was taken out of his game plan by Hopkins. He was either chasing Hopkins down or was being bombarded by Hopkins when Hopkins chose to come in and throw combinations and clinch.

Winky was pretty much domiated IMO. He had nothing on his punches. Hopkins landed a bunch of solid right hand leads. He even buckled Winky in the 1st round. Winky did not look like a top P4P fighter in this fight and that was because Hopkins made him look bad. Yeah, the weight is an issue and somewhat of an excuse but Winky was slightly favored going into the fight.

 

Winky landed 167 feather punches. Hopkins landed a bunch of HARD and FLUSH shots in this fight. Please, this is a case of useless compubox numbers.

 

I can't wait until BHOP retires Calzaghe.
