HOPKINS: I'M DADDY OF THEM ALL
By Tom Hopkinson
Bernard Hopkins has told Joe Calzaghe: I'm glad your dad will be there to see me destroy you.
Enzo Calzaghe will be in Joe's corner when he takes on the man known as The Executioner.
They will do battle at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas on April 19 - and Hopkins has been talking up the clash in his inimitable style.
He said: "My job is to give you the profound message now so, after the fight, if you are fair you will say, 'He told me he was going to make Joe ordinary, that he was going to make a father save his son on the emotions of having him around to fight another day', like Tito Trinidad's father did in the 12th round when we fought.
"I love to box fighters who have their father in the corner because I know a trainer respects and somewhat loves his fighter ... but a father. A father who must go home when the rest leave, a father who has changed Pampers, a father who will do what a father has to do in a time of crisis
"A fighter, which Joe is, has heart. He's going to fight until he dies. But his father cannot relate to that because 'That's my son'.
"My father's 6ft under, so when I go into the ring I have to bring that out and let his father see if he can see his son for another day."
Hopkins will tax that British ass. I wouldn't be surpised if Joe wasn't recognizable after the fight. Win or lose.
Plz are you calling a 38yo film star and a midget gift Calzaghe?
Hopkins has NO chance NONE!
Believe me NO NO NO CHANCE i will give my soul to the devil if Hopkins makes it even competative.
NO NO NO CHANCE!?!? On April 20th George W. Bush better be receiving your soul!
B-Hop ALWAYS has a chance to win! he's a Legend and Legends always find ways to win! thatz what seperates the elite athletes from the rest!
You are giving a man who's NEVER lost to a southpaw NO CHANCE against a southpaw! WOW!!!!
People said if Joe fought on the inside vs Lacy he wont go a round.
Remember he fought Bika with one hand, Last semi skilled lefy he fought he scraped a close UD, Joe will kill him 44444RRRRRREEEEEEAAAAALLLLLLLLLL
you mean ol' left hook swinging lacy?...how are you going to compare him to a withering straight right hand down the middle is beyond me..
Calzaghe won't be able to take Bernard's physicality, I repeat Joe won't be able to handle B-Hops physicality or opposing strength...he's gonna lean on him inside and will force Joe to expend his energy....enough to sap him to the late rounds until we see Joe try to punch his way out of a paper bag. We all know this is possible, yes? (watch Bika fight) being that Hopkins is too cagey or smart to even tire himself. ...the man knows how to reserve sh!t for later whether it be a trick/technique he hasn't used yet or his energy...
last championship rounds is where things will get interesting...
I promise you this!
Hopkins will get iced big time then half the board will be Hopkins was old prime v prime crap polls.
No chance, ive watched boxing since 1990 live-o and have every major power in the game on DVD and Hopkins will get ruined.
I don't know man, if the B-Hop that fought Tarver turns up then Joe is in for a beating I say. Hopkins is gonna make it look like Calzaghe will be the 1 fighting dirty to the ref....plus I believe B-Hop's style is danger prone for southpaws...how else do you think he keeps picking them to fight?
Plz are you calling a 38yo film star and a midget gift Calzaghe?
Hopkins has NO chance NONE!
Believe me NO NO NO CHANCE i will give my soul to the devil if Hopkins makes it even competative.
ur very confident of Joe I see. If so, you should bet ur savings and and ur prized possessions in a sportsbook come April 19....seriously..
Hopkins wins by a diving headbutt, then he kicks Joe in the bollocks, before breaking a chair over Joe's head and spraying his eyes with pepper spray.
Dude's been in prison.
Hopkins fucked Winky's face up. He murdered Trinidad and is the only guy to stop Oscar. Hopkins does have punching power. He isn't a big puncher but he can knock your ass out by slowly breaking you down and beating you mentally as well.
He said Tarver and Winky were going on a milk carton. What was the last meaningful fight they had. Winky hasn't even fought since. He owned both of their asses.
hopkins always talks shit before the fight. after he's done talking youd think that he was the most feared fighter on the planet. to do what hopkins says he's going to do you have to have punching power. hopkins is an excellent technical fighter, and the only thing you have to fear is his smarts. Hopkins punches are not going to cause Joe any serious problems.
No amount of "tax that ass", beat that ass", destroy that ass", "fuck that ass", kick that ass" etc etc etc, will convince me that Bernard will win. It's just not going to happen.
Grandpa Hopkins is gonna show Joe the difference between American fighters and British fighters. It'll be close but Bernard will be the victor.
K kind of like how Taylor was going to knock Pavlik out in the rematch?

will if that isn't inflammatory.
Hopkins is going to win because he has been in prison.
At least he gave Joe some props as a fighter with heart.
I'd love to see Joe outdirty Hopkins. This fight is going to be such a snoozer, it will only be interesting if it's a dirty fight.
