Who is the bigger man? Calzaghe Or Hopkins?

[Rane-Ex54]

I think there pretty even personally.

[Ironside]

I'd say Hopkins is slightly bigger, he's taller and Calzaghe has never fought in LHW.

[Run]

lol huh?

Nard is 3 inches taller, has a 2 inch reach advantage, and has fought at ****ing light heavyweight before. Not to mention you can clearly see who the bigger man is, because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do that.

This is a dumb question.

lol Who's bigger? Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather?

Technically incorrect. Any fight above 168 lb limit is Light Heavyweight, and Calzaghe has had 10.

Hopkins was 156 lbs for DLH for **** sake and Calzaghe is nearly killing himself to make 168.

Hopkins moved up because he struggled to make the 160 lbs for Middleweight, Calzaghe is moving up because he struggles to make 168 lbs do you think calzaghe can make 160? or 156?

Calzaghe was:

169 lbs against Darren Littlewood
170 lbs against Trevor Ambrose
170 lbs against Bobbie Joe Edwards
170 lbs against Robert Curry
170 lbs against Tyrone Jackson
172 lbs against Guy Stanford
170 lbs against Pat Lawlor
170 lbs against Carlos Christie
Nearly 170 lbs against Tyler Hughes and Luciano Torres (169 and 3/4 pounds)

and this was back in 1994-1997

now you can see his weigh-in pics in his past few fights and you cant say the guy doesn't struggle to make 168, hell in his interview pre-kessler fight he admitted he had real problems in making the weight.

3 inches? According to boxrec Hopkins is 6ft 1 and JC is 5'11 1/2. Lets not exaggerate the difference.

[RichCCFC]

Calzaghe has said himself he is 6 foot. I don't know what you make of that.

How can you compare the Pacquiao/Mayweather with Calzaghe/Hopkins?



Joe has fought more than 9 times at Light Heavyweight according to his early career, he has struggled in the past to make 168, where as Hopkins has always fought at 160, and was 156 vs DLH, can Calzaghe even make 160 yet alone 156? Height and reach stats are deceiving, Kessler has a 10 inch lesser reach than Paul Williams, Is 2 inches Shorter, and Williams started at 156 pounds while Kessler started at 152 pounds, but surely Williams isn't bigger than Kessler?

Now Pacquiao started at 106 lbs and is currently fighting 24 lbs above where he started, its like comparing apple and oranges.

Calzaghe vs Kessler


Hopkins at 160

Those fights were all pretty much in his early career before even becoming a champion. Besides, like RUNwK said, Hopkins is visibly bigger, is taller, has longer reach then Joe.
