I dont think Calzaghe is neccessarily small compared to Hopkins. Hopkins does have slight size advantages though. Kessler was pretty big too, didnt matter all that much.

It doesn't really matter body size there pretty much the same and Hopkins height advantage won't play a factor in the fight, because Hopkins will be trying to make the fight on the inside not the outside.

Kessler is 6ft 1inch, though a shorter reach than Hop, according to H.B.O, Although they do have Joe at a 74inch reach..

I think Joe is looking as strong as hell and in great shape, the best Ive seen him, tho B.Hop too is looking the part, there is a lot being made about Joe not having faced anyone like B.Hop....

Believe me B.Hop has never faced anyone even similar in style or intensity to Joe C...That equally will not be in the slightest bit intimidated....

Calzaghe looks like a teener when standing infront of Hopkins... Even Enzo is amazed of Bernard's size advantage...

In all the photos i see Kessler didn't really look like he had a height advantage like Hopkins does over Calzaghe.

Hopkins is also wearing a pair of air max with a massive chunky sole on them as well. probably puts almost an extra inch on him!

Yep Joe and Kessler looked like of the same height/size... but compared to Bernard, Joe really looked small...

The angle on this picture makes the difference seem more than it is. Hopkins will be a little bigger and stronger for sure, but it won't be as much as it appears here.

Agreed, nothing in it size wise, odd angle, Hopkins in high heels, nuff said.

Logic says that Calzaghe's workrate should win out, but I reckon he's got to win 8 rounds minimum to get the nod.

Could be a stinker, could be great, either way I cant wait.


Come on Joe

Optical illusion.

Optical illusion.

Could be ... to Calzaghe fans... but I do think that Bernard has the size advantage over Calzaghe ...

How about the trainer advantage? I think this also goes to Bernard... Freddie Roach is much better trainer compared to Enzo Calzaghe...


Coach Roach Promises That Hopkins Will Stop Calzaghe In Later Rounds!
