Would you really be surprised if Hopkins beats Calzaghe?

Thanks, appreciated.:good

 

I'll take your word for it

 

You don't win fights by throwing 10 punches a round beginning in round 5. Hopkins is going to get dominated, plain and simple. He has absolutely no business in there with Calslappy.

 

Compubox. Give it a go sometime.:good

 

I say go get em Dan.
You were being perfectly reasonable and despite the fact that I whole heartedly disagree with you on who has a better jab and who will win the fight you were being decent. If somebody is being a twat no reason not to turn le tables :good

 

great isn't it. did you know that winky outlanded hops?

 

He threw more than 9 punches a round though didnt he?

 

No.

 

he was wasting as many as joe!!! :shock: :tong

I still think Winky is harder to hit than Joe. Joe was walking onto enough straight rights from the predictable Kessler so I see Hopkins landing even more.

 

at 154 yes. at 170, no. he doesn't have the legs to get out of the way as much anymore and more powerful guys than b-hop would have ploughed through him at that weight.

 

Winky is normally harder to hit than Joe. But in that fight I didnt think that either of them looked hard to hit atal it was not realy a technical boxing match.

Also i watched it yesterday and I didnt think it was as bad a fight as people were saying, I mean it wasnt great but it wasnt realy bad.

 

Valid points but I notice you both skimmed over what I said about Joe walking onto rights.

 

He does but I would say that Kessler is probably as accurate as Hopkins and a good bit faster and Joe got caught with about what 6-7 clean hard straight right hands against Kessler and he was never budged.

Also in the fight with Kessler after round 4 the only reason he got caught with anything was because of dumb stuff such as leaning in with his head for the uppercut or fighting with his hands too low.

 

Kessler doesn't have Hopkins' ringcraft. Plus who's to say Joe won't do that "dumb stuff" against B-Hop?
