If he beat Calzaghe (it's a big if) would you say the same thing... Calzaghe was the smaller man coming up. Although I'd favor Calzaghe it is not impossible for me to see the experience of Hopkins winning through!
It won;t happen though...B-Hop has left his balls in the Middleweight division! He is all mouth and no troussers!
How do you figure that? Hopkins stepped up 2 divisions to challenge the champion Tarver. It's all well & good to say this sort of stuff in hindsight but Hopkins was the under-dog going into that fight, Tarver was the favorite. Then he fought Wright one of the great defensive fighters around. People criticized Hopkins for fighting a smaller man but thats exactly what Hopkins did... & won!
