Hopkins is capable of anything now

:lol1: Yo say struggled against Winky Wright like he's a fucking bum or something. Everyone who has ever faced Wright has struggled even if they beat him. No kidding, Hopkins would have struggled with Wright even in his prime. I'm not sure when his prime was because he didn't face a live body until he was 36 (besides RJJ who he lost to), and ALL his big wins have come since then.

bernard can do anything... except beat joe calzaghe !!!!

someone needs to keep Hopkins away from sharp objects or anything he can sharpen. he's wreckless cotdayumit.

He has faced every style already.. none were his Kryptonite.. I would agree if he had faced Sven Ottke (an overly defensive boxer who holds on for dear life and tries to get a decision go his way) but he didn't. I don't think he has faced a fighter like Hopkins, he has faced people who have similarities with Hopkins, Bika with his fouling, Eubank with his counter punching and many others but never someone quite as defensive as Hopkins unless I've missed some of his fights. It doesn't matter anyway, I don't think Hopkins has the offensive capabilities to beat Calzaghe at age 43.

It does have something to do with it.If Bernard can make Calz want to knock him out instead of letting the knockout come to him. He could make Calz want to try even harder for a knockout which would fit into bernards fighting style ala counter punching. The more power Calz comes with the less speed there is and there are more openings. It's just That.. 44 people have already gone in With "perfect" plan to beat the guy.. and ALL have failed.. B-Hop cannot say the same thing Am I supposed to believe that Joe has never been Taunted before?? He has faced every style already.. none were his Kryptonite..

it sounds good in theory but the reality is that Hopkins is a 43 year old post prime fighter who struggled to beat winky wright. I dont think after 10 years as champion, a few lazy insults from Hopkins is going to throw him off an entire fight. Struggled to beat Winky? Winky is a great fighter! Are you kidding me? Joe Calzaghe struggled to beat Mikkel Kessler!! Wait, who??

I have an interview with Hopkins' trainer John David Jackson on the subject coming out tomorrow or tonight. Stay tuned for that.

You fucking retard. All this bullshit has NOTHING to do with the fight. You kids are so stupid for buying into this nonsense. You're really not worth reading so don't reply to me, I won't be in the thread. Just take it on my unquestionable authority that you're retarded

Hopkins is probably the p4p king at playing mind games with his opponents, currently. I'm not sure who else out there is really good at it these days, you normally hear the typical boring trash talk, like "imma whoop his ass!" or somethin weak, but Hopkins takes it another level, talking about Joe's father, the British, race, etc. He's good at it. Mayorga is pretty good. He makes people brawl with him and even though he lost badly to DLH and Trinidad, brawling was pretty much his only chance with those guys. Mayorga did a real nice job with Vernon Forrest. Not so much with Cory Spinks even though he went as low as a man can get (insulting Cory's recently deceased mother). Although I despise the way Mayweather "trash-talks", I thought Floyd did a very nice job with Hatton who came out like a wild bull without any defense thinking Mayweather couldn't hurt him.

You see it. Hopkins will play the race card, he will do absolutely anything to win a fight. Calzaghe don't know what he is dealing with here. He will say or DO anything to beat Joe. he might slap him, he might spit on him, he might who knows what he might do, he gave Tito rice and beans, heads UP JOE! keep you head UP Joe has the skills and the talent to beat Hopkins but he won't because Hopkins will find a way to f*** Joe up mentally. he will. he always does. i'm telling you all this fight is going to be huge. it's going to be interesting beyond belief, hype like we have never seen before. true real hype, no BS from Bernard Hopkins. Joe could be in for it. BHPS will to win is 10 times stronger than anytig Joe has seen. I dont think Joe is ready for this. He picked this fight with Hops now he gotta deal with the EXECUTIONER> Just wondering where that will was when he faced Taylor then... :dunno:

That Sumavabish Is Wreckless!!!

I'm really sick of everyone talking about Bernard Hopkins, saying,"Oh he's a racist!" He's just saying this to sell the fight, he's always done something controversial trying to increase those ppv buys. And, Floyd Mayweather did something similar. Remember when Floyd stepped in the ring against Oscar he came out with the Mexican flag trunks and a giant sombrero. No one said that was racist or "nationalistic" that was just funny. See, I think there's just a lot of white people on this site that were personally offended.

yeah hopkins is capable of anything he has always been, i don't know what oyu mean by now? lol

Steve Collins found a way to beat the undefeated Chris Eubank mentally. I don't think Calzaghe is as insecure as Eubank was though. Hopkins will have a hard time trying, Calzaghe seems very confident to me. Only way Hopkins can beat Calzaghe is if he has something left offensively. He can't win this fight with simple defense and that's the only thing I think he has left at 43 years of age, his defense. Even that could go any day now if his reflexes slow down to the point he can't see the punches coming anymore and Calzaghe will throw many.
