Who hits Harder ??? Hopkins or Calzaghe

[barrykil1980]

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!!!!!!!!!

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."

Has Hopkins ever stopped anyone above middleweight? NO

Has Calzaghe ever stopped anyone above middleweight? YES

Now factor in who exactly Hopkins has stopped - which EVERYONE knows is welterweights and substandard middleweight bums. Would Calzaghe have NOT stopped ALL of Hopkins stoppable oppostion? Of course he would. That's obvious.

There you go, that's unquestionable evidence.

Calzaghe DEFINETLY hits harder. Fact.

Awesome posting,I wasn't sure at first but then I read this response.Nice.

I wouldn't exactly say what Hopkins had to do to stay at middleweight was "natural". A middleweight cutie? please.
