Is Hopkins too street for Calslappy?

Joe should be scurred..hop is comin straight out the jects...Raymomd Rosen to be precise...some tea and crumpet nancy ain't gon frighten a man who came up like hop. punch drunk or just drunk?

Maybe Hopkins did play the bitch in prison here & there, who knows ? But, it doesn't matter, as that's life in the joint. The mega-tough guy posters in here who'd like to believe it happened, & use it against Hopkins.....would DIE in prison. In the one he went to, without a doubt, you can be tough, but if you run on your own and cross the gangs......RIP I reckon Bhop would have died before he let anyone do that to him (didn't he knock out his 350lb builder over a payment dispute??). Still think Joe is going to beat him though

Are there any stories from guys that spent time with him? I think he won a few matches inside, but was he the 'daddy' of his wing? I can't imagine Hopkins biting the pillow for anyone, that's for sure even if they were 400lbs of muscle Maybe Hopkins did play the bitch in prison here & there, who knows ?

Exactly, but where Hop spent most of his childhood is hardly one of the rougher Philly neighborhoods. His early childhood was in North Philly but after that he moved to Germantown. I wasn't disputing anything... but the guy I quoted alluding to "downtown" Philly being a rough area.

none of this crap is going to matter when borenard popkins fans realise that his 10 punches per round aren`t goign to win him the fight.

Downtown Philly is where the wealthiest of Philadelphians live....... Exactly, but where Hop spent most of his childhood is hardly one of the rougher Philly neighborhoods. His early childhood was in North Philly but after that he moved to Germantown.

Have you seen the shithole Calzaghe comes from, it may not be downtown Philly, but they don't sip tea and eat cucmber sandwiches believe me. The football hooligans down the road in Cardiff (the soul crew) like nothing better than travelling around the country beating the shit out of other 'fans' less murders than Philly, but the level assaults wouldn't be too far off per capita Downtown Philly is where the wealthiest of Philadelphians live.......

Hopkins is going to get hit more often than he's ever been hit before. I'll give him respect if he stays on his feet...

Being street always matters, damn near in every walk of life. It's a good quality to have.(if you have to make the best out of a bad situation.) Especially if you have balance. Hopkins is one of the most intimidating boxers around. that's them jailhouse tactics he still uses. it's pretty hard to let go for the amount of time he spent incarcerated.

You idiots forget the Taylor fights. And if you buy this whole "street" intimidation thing you're obviously evry very stupid and naive. And you're surely not from the street if that's the case.

losing to Roy was probly the best thing that has ever happened to B-Hop...he picked up so many tricks after that fight, u can say it turned him into more of a slickster...

Amen brother. Calzaghe is underestimating a fighter like X who can adapt to any style. The light punching volume puncher that is Joe Calzaghe will be the victim of a perfectly executed fight plan. I'll bet you 25K points that Calzaghe wins it.

It matters because Hopkins is the executioner and will execute a fight plan that will gaurantee him victory. Who has Joe fought really ? think deep. When Hopkins is the underdog he often rises to the occasion with a masterful performance of the ages. His chopping right hand lead will land on Joe's face all night long. did he rise to the occasion when he fought jones the best competition he faced at 160

Calzaghe will school that dirty fool.

the real story will be the mind games that Hopkins will play on Calzhage. Not only will this be Calz's coming out party in America which =' s massive pressure but he is facing a guy who will fart in your momma's face to get under your skin and mark my words Hopkins will get under Calzaghes skin. Once he does that the battle's half won, all thats left is the execution. Amen brother. Calzaghe is underestimating a fighter like X who can adapt to any style.

Exactly.... Joe's a dirty bastard and is afraid of no one. He doesn't even respect Hop as much as Hop respects him the real story will be the mind games that Hopkins will play on Calzhage. Not only will this be Calz's coming out party in America which =' s massive pressure but he is facing a guy who will fart in your momma's face to get under your skin and mark my words Hopkins will get under Calzaghes skin.

B-Hop is Ric Flair of boxing... he's old and the dirtiest player in the game...

One of these guys is from Newport (down the road from Joe) gives you an idea of their mentality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZR04dp7QSk&feature=related WHAT........ THE................. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Hopkins lost to lesser men than Joe Calzaghe, so quit the nonsense.
