Who hits Harder ??? Hopkins or Calzaghe

[Fenster]

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."

That just proves my point "It came out of nowhere" basically meaning he wasn't expecting it and it caught him by surprise. Eubank was caught on the back foot and he was caught cold because it was in the first 20 seconds of the fight. It was a good shot but it was nothing more than a jolting shot. Eubank laughed when he got up it was just the speed of the shot that shocked Eubank, because if i remember right Eubank charged at Calzaghe and they clinched for a second, then Calzaghe launched a left hand right out of the clinch while Eubank was moving backwards so Eubank's balance was not good at the time. Eubank was also floored by Steve Collins and Collins was not a big puncher either you don't have to be a big puncher if you catch someone by surprise and on the back foot or etc you can even floor iron chinned fighters like Eubank.

Are you taking the piss? That describes 99.9% of knockdowns

anyway.. first it was the same as Hatton-Collazo (ridiculous), now you want to compare it to Collins-Eubank?

Collins barely, if at all, touched him.

It was clear Eubank toppled back off balance from a glancing (at best) bodyshot that wouldn't have floored a granny holding a walking frame.

Now, this highlights how wrong you are about Calzaghe's knockdown of Eubank. When Eubank gets up from Collins "knockdown" what does he do? Shocked at seeing the ref start counting he starts shouting "SLIP!" "SLIP!" "SLIP!" as opposed to describing Calzaghe's knockdown as "BOOM!" "HE HIT ME WITH A HUGE SHOT" "HE KNOCKED ME DOWN"
