Can someone tell me why Hopkin's record against southpaws is such an important factor in their reasoning?
Calzaghe's never lost to an orthodox fighter.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
Keith Holmes was a Southpaw and a good fighter but you call him shitty ?? yet he battered Richie Woodhall, so going by your logic doesn't that make Calzaghe's win over Woodhall shitty as well then ?? because Woodhall got beat by a shitty Southpaw right ?? John David Jackson was also a solid Southpaw fighter, i think you actually need to do your homework on some of Hopkins's opposition and actually watch those fighters before you start calling anyone *shitty*.

statistics are silly in the first place but come on thats a dumb question..
orthodox means a TRADITIONAL style.. the vast majority of fighters are orthodox.. you wouldn't say "he's never lost to a traditional fighter" it's obvious with his record..
southpaw's are the minority, which makes the Hopkins statistic interesting because he has fought a number of southpaws.. any time you have an orthodox vs southpaw match up, this statistic always comes up..
it's a given that a southpaw fighter will fight mostly orthodox fighters, so it's not an intriguing statistic as it is the norm in the sport.
Agreed but Southpaws are traditionally the stylistic nightmare for a orthodaox fighter, parlay that with Calzaghe being the best fighter Hopkins ever faced and vice versa, but I see Joe being to busy and forcing Hopkins to fight or get overwhelmed
How many fighters has Hopkins ever fought with the workrate of Calzagheagain couple that with the fact that Hopkins is 43, fighters have been known to get old in a round and I think father time is gonna be floating across the pond with Calzaghe to kick the shit out of him![]()
