    I think b-hop is the harder puncher but Joe is the more consistant(if he misses u with the 1st he gets u with the 2nd)

    Vegas is also 2500ft above uk altitude, will this be a difference?

    Punching power will have no say in this fight.

    Joe has been training in Vegas, minor.

    Has he? I know he came to Vegas to wrap up his training...but its much different than training the whole time in Vegas. Im not for sure, but I thought he was training in the UK.

    Agreed. It's just that Calzaghe will likely hit him with 10 for every one he lands on Joe. So it's all irrelevant really.

    He knocked Eubank over who has a great chin but I think one of the reasons he doesn't sit down on his punches usually is because of his fragile hands, especially the left.

    Going on this tho...if was are talking over the course of their careers. Its easily Hopkins.

    Bernard was a ****ing MONSTER early in his career. Absolutely DESTROYING fighters. Ya dont get the name "The Executioner" by taking fighters to the cards.

    Regardless tho, I agree with you. They both are underrated as hell in this department because of the way the rest of their respective careers have unfolded (Joe with the hand problems...Bernard with the style switch)...but Bernard will be landing the bigger, cleaner shots tonight.

    About the same I would say. But Calzaghe probably hits harder if he sat down on his punches a bit more.

    It's like a fight to the top just to see who'd die for the spot You put ya life in this, nothin like survivin a shot Y'all know what time it is, soon as BHop signs on this dot **** what Joe knows about death threats, cause Bernie got a lot He was seconds away from the towers Them cowards ****ed wit the wrong building, they meant to hit ours Better evacuate all children, its nuclear showers There's nothin spookier Ya now about to witness the POWER... You shouldn't throw stones if you live in a glass house And if you got a glass house you should watch yo mouth. Konnichiwa bitches.
