Some thoughts; Calzaghe Hopkins

[Fenster]

yeah, i'd say their chins are equal-ish

so why is hopkins considered to have one of the best chins in modern boxing and not Calzaghe?

interesting i say?

I would consider them both to have the best chins in modern say boxing, maybe Calzaghe doesn't get more credit because he isn't really that known outside of the UK probably.

As much His chin as well as his defense and footwork.

Is it as good as Calzaghe's?

I think Calzaghe has a fantastic chin, but I was speaking in context, which wasn't taking Calzaghe's chin into the equation.

I understand your original point Donny, which is why I think the Kessler fight will stand him in good stead for this one. Kessler realised that Calzaghe was best at being 'reactive' (as he was in the Lavy fight) so stood back in the first few rounds and countered with big rights effectively, which is what we expect Hop to do. Joe adjusted and boxed effectively on the outside, picking his moments more carefully to wade in, which is what he should do against Hop. IMO if Joe is careful he should be able to get rounds in the bank from the outside and wait for Bernard to get impatient like he did in the Taylor fights when they were slipping away from him.
