    Sorry but i disagree, if you land 1000 shots and dont knock the man out then you gotta question the power. Plus he doesnt hit correct therefore his power isnt what it could be.

      Do you know the difference between scoring punches and trying to knock someone out?

      Calzaghe didn`t set himself to knock Lacy out, instead he punished him with fast accurate punches over 12 rounds, which displays alot more boxing skill than standing there and trading big shots.

        if your using speed to get in and out of range against a dangerous puncher u spend as less time infront of the man as possible u dont wait that split second longer to load up especially when u are winning the fight with what your doing

          if the referee lets bernand do his dirty crap it will be a close fight but clear for calzaghe...yet they will say bernard won just like they did in the winky fight....

          if the referee more or less controlls benard, easy ud for calzaghe......bernard is supposedly great vs suthpaws, yet winky was keeping him off with the most basic southpaw combination, two jabs and a straight left....calzaghe's favorte combination too....

            If Nard does in fact win, I'd like to hear first and foremost from you how he's the greatest middleweight of all time, let alone one of the top five depending where you slice him: Greatest P4P fighters of all time regardless of weight.
            regardless of whether Hopkins wins, Hagler and Monzon are better middleweights that Hopkins

              I don't like admitting it but I thought Winky did enough to get the decision too.

              But Calz will win so clearly no one will be able to dispute it.

                LOL Lacy was a standing target against Joe after 6 rounds, it was very similar to Tyson against Lewis, Calzaghe could of done what he wanted.

                And Joe is not known for having KO power, get off his nuts

                  And a prime Roy Jones would have won every round against Calzaghe

                    There is no bigger fight for hops, the media is going to explode over it on both sides of the pond. I'd make joe a 2/1 favorite and he will win by MD. Joe is almost as crafty as hop. Joe is more offensive and hops does not have the punch to capitalize on joes mistakes. Who ever wins this fight is going down as one of the greatest more so for b-hop than joe though.

                      they will both go down as greats. But Joe has left it too late in his career IMO, if he would have fought the best 5/10 years ago he would have had a much more lucurative career, instead he has left it until what he has said will be the last year or so of his career. Frank Warren is infamous for protecting his best fighters look how much money Hamed and Vicky Fatton made since departing from Warren
