    Now, Joe's Boxing skills are going to make Bernard look bad plenty.. But Hopkins has the games tightest envelope. NOTHING can take him out of it.

    I say Hopkins wins a tight one on conservative, calculated perfection.

    We saw what happened here when Joe initates..

    People need to see what Bernard has become. Watch his last two fights.

    I've got Bernard Hopkins without any doubt. None.
    I'll bet everyone of my points on Calzaghe if the fight is made.

      His losses to Taylor are what makes me think otherwise. And to a lesser extent his loss to Roy.

            He lost to Taylor on youth and athleticism. Nothing else.

            Same thing with Roy although more so athleticism for obvious reasons.

                  Eventhough I predicted he would lose to Taylor, I'm done betting against 'Nard. You never count out someone like him, and his shoulder roll countering style might work to his benefit against Calzaghe more than people think.

                      He takes his first KO loss...sorry.

                      Zag KO10 or better.

                      No one KO's B-Hop.
