Now he's more a volume puncher. |
You forget Hopkins also used to destroy opponent's back in the day, he actually has one of the fastest KO's in Middleweight history, when he hit his opponent flush majority of the time it would set up the KO in quick time. Where as Calzaghe has never really had brutal KO's like Hopkins had. Majority of Calzaghe's stoppage wins were pounding opponent's against the ropes until basically the ref stepped in. Calzaghe has 2 KO wins i believe where as Hopkins has about 7.
