Nowadays, I think Joe hits harder. A body punch nearly had Kesller down, something that has never happened to him. People underestimate Joe's power.

I agree with Ice , he caught Kessler with a sharp punch.
Hopkins looked pretty powerful at 175lbs , Calzaghe hasnt even fough there yet , Also Calzaghe doesnt hit with power anymore due to bad hands ,
as for your last statement i presume you were JOKING ? RIGHT ?
As for calling ICE " SON " since when was a 23 year old the daddy of this site![]()

i would say hopkins hits harder imo.
Hows the saying go.....Quality over Quantity.
Calzaghe is a hyper volume puncher,great pressure but sometimes less is more.
Hopkins Has evolved from an pressure Attacker with power into a Thinking sharp shooter............Sometimes he thinks Too much though
who has Hopkins been knocking out to make you guys rate him as a harder puncher than Calzaghe??
who has he even been busting up??
apart from the transvestite taking his "not exactly oscar winning" dive,when has he last scored a legitimate KO?
your all talking about the weight suiting Hopkins in terms of power.........why
whats he done at 175? he`s only beaten one 175 pounder,that hapless waster Tarver.
Hopkins is a middleweight cutie.he can punch with some snap but is not concussive at all.
Calzaghe is the more natural light-heavy and therefore i say he`s a bigger puncher.its a natural size thing!!!!!!!!!
Punch for Punch, I would say Hopkins has more oomff to them. Calzaghe makes up for it by throwing and landing so much more.
You don't need to be a big puncher to f*ck someone up. The human body is frail in the big scheme of things.
nither has ever really been a big one punch k.o hitter......... in there earlier days they both were considered powerfull, but once they went up to title level they didnt have as much effect in the k.o world. hopkins no longer lays it on the line, he chooses to save his stamina and joes hand injury's stop him from really letting it go
but overall i'd say hopkins was slightly the harder hitter
hopkins for me by a small margin but a lot of calzaghes shots are to set up the big ones. his power is underrated but i think hopkins hits slightly harder with a single shot![]()
