anyway, Hopkins definitely hits harder, and ICB made all the major points already really.. Calzaghe just has super fast hands that eventually wear you down..

I'd go out and say that PBF lb4lb hits harder than Calzaghe.. so for the 5 or 6 or however many people who voted for Calzaghe, i bet they'd say PBF doesn't have any power.. making all of those voters basically fans for Calzaghe, and voting with their heart as opposed to their head.
Calzaghe knocked down Eubank with a single left hook and Eubank was known for having a good chin. He dropped Mitchel witha left hook en route to stopping him in two rounds . Stopped another former champ in Woodhall these are all pretty big men . Which big men has Hopkins stopped ? All his best wins were over washed up blown up welterweights .

We'll see whos the bigger puncher when they meet im saying it'll be Joe .
Calzaghe knocked Eubank down yes but thats not the full story is it ?? Eubank was caught cold because he was floored in the first 20 seconds, plus he was moving backwards at the time so Calzaghe caught Eubank with jolting shot and Eubank went down because he was moving backwards at the time, in fact i would compare that to Hatton vs Collazo, Mitchell's chin is decent but his chin isn't good or great by any means, he was knocked down and was hurt many times against Manny Siaca, Woodhall's chin has always known to be very suspect. Just before his fight with Calzaghe he was floored 3 times by light hitting Markus Beyer.
Hope this helps.

"I came out of the corner for round one smiling," remembers Eubank.

"I was moving around and sizing up the terrain, when 'Boom!' Calzaghe hit me with a huge shot that literally came out of nowhere and knocked me down.

"A first-round knock-down had never happened to me in my entire career.

"As I picked myself up from the canvas and brushed myself down, I thought to myself: 'You've got your work cut out tonight, guy."
