    Hopkins: "I'll Hand Calzaghe His First Loss"

    WBC/WBA/WBO super middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe (44-0, 32 KOs) is beating the drums for a fight with recognized light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins (48-4-1, 32 KOs). Calzaghe and his promoter Frank Warren, said they are willing to make the fight in America or even Hopkins' backyard of Philadelphia - if the money is right. [details]

      As much as I like Hopkins, I think Calzaghes unorthodox style and speed will break anyones style .. Even a veteran like Hopkins, plus Calzaghes speed will be too much for Hopkins in the end

            Edge goes to Calzaghe, maybe more than that.
            Hopkins knows all the tricks, but Calzaghe isn't bad in the clinch and knows some dirty stuff too.

              Hopkins will win via UD. Saw Zag fight a couple times and don't really see the amazement. The Executioner will end Zag's nice little streak, hopefully in the States.

                  Tough call, but Hopkins got the advantage.

                    Neither one of the these guys is knockin the other out.

                    Chessmatch all the way.

                    Overwhelmingly, Hopkins makes far fewer mistakes.


                    Do the math.
