Who do you rate more highly: Joe Calzaghe or Bernard Hopkins?

Yes, but 154 is not 160. Above 154 he was poor.

 

Kessler--Former JMW/MW
Hopkins--Former MW
Eubank Former MW


3 of Calzaghe's best wins. Probably in some order or another his 3 best. All smaller guys.

 

Still had a belt though, plus I think he means a payday too? Can't fault Hopkins for this fight one bit.

 

You're being ridiculous. Seriously, those examples are awful.

 

How are they awful? Explain...

EDIT--Awful in that they aren't Calzaghe's best wins or awful in that they were smaller guys?

 

Yawn. Hopkins was a big middleweight. Hes best win at middleweight was vs a former welterweight:rofl:rofl!!! Calzaghes best win at SM was kessler-a big strong SM. Continue to hate because you make less sense every time.

Keep hiding behind the amount of posts youve made. You should be proud.

 

How the hell did Calzaghe get 24 votes over Hopkins????

 

Kessler smaller than Calzaghe? What planet are you living on? Kessler is the most massive SMW ever, he looks like a freaking cruiserweight. Hopkins is naturally more muscular than Calzaghe and the same height and he was more experienced at LHW than Calzaghe.

Hopkins beat fighters who were better at lower weights. Eubank and Kessler peaked at SMW.

 

Kessler has done almost all of his significant fighting at 168, and Eubank is the same at the same weight. Granted Eubank was better at 160 than 168, but by the time he fought Calzaghe his biggest problem was making 168. As for Hopkins, he actually achieved something at 175 before Calzaghe fought him, which means he is proven to be a good scalp at that weight - in the same way that Trinidad crushed Joppy, and so was proven to be at least very useful at 160.

 

Awful in that you're apparently stating that they are smaller guys.

 

That's my point. You get it. Some don't. The double standard applied to Calzaghe vis a vis Hopkins and weight classes is ridiculous. Illustrating the ridiculous with the ridiculous.

 

atsch

 

Hopkins has beaten the better names...but most of these 'names' all had to move up weights to fight him.

On Calzaghes plus side...he never lost a white boy

 

youve changed your tune!!:rofl

:yep
