bernard hopkins vs joe calzaghe

There is some hilarious, uninformed, blind side, make-an-ass-out-of-you-and-me throughout this one..

I wouldn't be surprised to see a stoppage. 50% chance of a Calzaghe decision, 50% chance of Calzaghe stopping Nard.

I am glad to see there are people that give Hopkins a chance, otherwise there would be no reason to see them fight.

He doesn't know..:rolleyes: Hopkins gets scorched by Calzaghe's pace. That old man is going to wish he'd retired by the time they get to the 10th. It's so obvious. The only question is whether or not Cal gets "old" before that fight happens...if it happens.

How would Calzaghe "destroy" him? He doesn't know..:rolleyes:

I think Joe will win. But: Hopkins, like Joe, is great at spoiling a fighter's plan. But Hopkins is better at this game. The problem is, Calzaghe is more fit and energized at this stage of his career. Hopkins will have to bring the best 'spoiling' style he has ever brought in his life to win this fight. It would be an ugly fight, but I would love to see it just to see which guy is better at causing the other to lose. Who is the better spoiler... ditto...................

I think Joe Calzaghe would probably win. But you can't count out a guy like Hopkins, hes a tricky fighter.

IMa Say BHop by KO in Round 11. He's needs a KO badly, and he always stepped up to knock Tito & ODLH. He'll counterpuch and being much more wise in the ring then Kessler was. I was a little pissed at Kessler, in those middle rounds he was hitting at like a 40-50% ratio, but just wasn't punching. Just let your arms go. Bhop will have a plan and it will work. I like Cags, but I love seeing undeafeated fighters loose.

most people would pick Calzaghe, and for good reason. his punch output and speed would be hell for Hopkins. but on the other hand... Calzaghe has trouble in rough, ugly fights. This is something Hopkins knows exactly how to do. Calzaghe had a bit of trouble against Bika. Joe kind of has awesome performances in big fights and bad ones in small fights though, thats how his career always has been. So maybe he had an off night. but if there was a fighter that could spoil Calzaghe's style, Hopkins is the one. I would pick Calzaghe though Well it's a case of two spoilers. Calzaghe's style is to spoil the opponent's style. So, we're probably looking at a rather shitty fight to tell you the truth. I think Cal ought to look for somebody else. Hopkins is a nowhere fight for Cal, IMO. IF he wins, he beat an old man. IF Hopkins wins, accolades galore. He should consider a younger contender or even Kelly Pavlik. Now there's a fight that would be watched with interest.

I am picking Hopkins, though if Joe wins, it's not because of his work rate, it's because of his tricky angles. I think Bernard will pretty much cut in half Joe's high work rate.

Im Not Picking Against Joe Again..........

Hopkins all the way.

hopkins will not fight calzache he will recieve a one sided beating and he knows it, he avioded calzache years ago hopkins is not stupid.

like calzaghes clinching or holding and hitting he did all night long? i wonder if he would be able to win if he followed the rules of boxing prob not. he makes hopkins look like a model citizen. http://www.funenparty.nl/pictures/trollzgroep.jpg

Nobody has hope for my mans B-Hop? Fine, I'll take ANY and ALL bets for this fight should it becoem official, I have that much faith. i am a big bhop fan like yourself mate. im just wondering how do you think bhop would beat calzaghe ??

I'm not crazy about Joe, but man....I would herald him as the next coming of the Messiah if he would lay a righteous beat-down on that punk Bitchnard Slopkins. Slopkins the Ol' Snaggle-tooth has a beating coming to him for a long time now and I think Joe is the man to do it, and do it lovely.

No one KO's B-Hop. exactly .. what is wrong with some of these guys. calzaghe is great but koing bhop is just laughable

You know what, I prefer the alias Joe C "Superstar" instead of Italian Dragon. Joe C "Superstar" just fits his name perfectly.
