I Honestly beleive both would beat Calzaghe easily! If this kid Kessler or that bum Jeff Lacy is your toughest opponents in 43 fights or over 10 years, then a B-Hop or a RJ is out of your class! I havent bought into the Calzage thing yet! Calzaghe is a CHAMPION, Roy and Bernard are LEGENDS! I'm just glad B-Hop will get the chance to seperate the Champs from the Legends! Calzaghe is just food for them guys! They both know they can beat him, thats why they both called him out! Roy even went as far to say he'll go to Wales! No fighter calls out fighters they feel they cant beat!
My head says Cotto would do to Floyd what Duran did to Leonard in their 1st fight! Cotto could possibly stop Floyd late! My heart says Floyd will pop shot his was to a close UD! Cotto brings pressure, but he can also BOX! Ask Mosely about the Cotto jab! I hope they fight next year! It would help both of their legacys!
Tell Mr. Arum that jealousy is a weak emotion!
I can't wait to hear this prick talk after Floyd makes Cotto look similiar to Gatti and Hatton! He's talkin shit bout Floyd, why he don't put Cotto in there against Paul Williams! :boxing:
Hatton is gettin dillussional on us! somebody needs to tell this kid, HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH to beat Floyd! To beat Floyd you will have to have a DEMANDING, ACCURATE jab! Floyd is use to being pressured by brawlers who main weapons are left hooks to the body or head! He demonstrated that in the last fight, he backed up and let Hatton charge into a Check Left Hook! If guys pressure Floyd without a ACCURATE jab to start their attack, they can't win!
Oscar couldn't beat Floyd jr. if Floyd Sr. and Roger trained him! This guy can only beat old washed up brawlers! Floyd jr. wins the rematch easier than the first fight! I hope Oscar gets knocked out in the tune up!
If Taylor chooses to go toe to toe he goes to sleep! If he boxes and invest in hard shots to the body, he can break Pavlik down and set up the third part of this classic rivalry! This will go down as one of the best TRIOLOGYS in boxing history!
Oscar needs to just stick to promoting! Winky Wright has been callin Oscar out for years now! Give Winky a chance to make some REAL money! If Floyd elects to fight this guy again, win or lose, the winner of the Hopkins-Calzaghe fight should be crowned the NEW pound 4 pound king!
For Joe Calzaghe to say that of someone who has EARNED the RESPECT of men who don't give RESPECT to many men(these men being current and ex-inmates at Gratersford State Penatentary in Pennsylvania) is flat out BULLSHIT!!! You can't survive a place like Gratersford if fear is located anywhere in your eyes! Thats the first place jail dudes look at is in your eyes! So guys who've been incarcerated know how to hide the fear that appears from the eyes! Bernard is a ex-con who did time for REAL crimes! While incarcerated he earned the respect of some the baddest dudes that ever lived! Why? He showed no FEAR! I guess Mr. Calzaghe is just blowin smoke like he on a Amsterdam vacation or something! Hate him or Love him, Bernard Hopkins is a STAND UP DUDE!
NOW BACK TO BOXING!!
Bernard will land the harder more accurate shots, Calzaghe throwin a thousand punches wont matter cause he's not accurate at all! Men lie, Women lie, numbers don't! His connect pct. in his last fight was in the 20's! And Bernard is a FAR better than defensive fighter than Kessler!
Bernard's body punching, in-fighting and rough house tactics will wear Calzaghe down and we will all bear witness to Bernard Hopkins systematically taking Joe Calzaghe apart! Calzaghe will get dropped in this fight, he'll get back up but he will definitely get dropped!
Bernard shocks the odd makers and wins a UD!
