Calzaghe: "I'll Knock Hopkins Out"

[badnewsbrown]

iv seen many of calzaghes early fights and he can definately ****. its jus more recently he hasnt thrown powerful punches cus of his hands

[Boxingwizard]

floored Lacy for the first time

I thought Calzaghe broke his hands during that fight? I'm assuming his brittle hands prevented him from TKOing Jeff Lacy. Anyways I'm surprised Calzaghe said this, I thought he wasn't willing to go to America.

In my opinion a fight with Hopkins is a no win situation. If he wins he beat an old man who's 200 years older than him. If he loses he lost to a man 200 years older than him.

But with that said and Hopkins being an old man. I still don't think he would be able to KO Hopkins. Bernard since the Taylor fights has fought with great caution and hardly ends up taking a lot of punishment. It will be a tactical fight as always with Hopkins.

He did break his hand in this fight. He also dropped Lacy with his broken hand. Personally, I think the refereeing in that final round was disgusting, Lacy should definitely have been stopped, he took more unanswered punches in that round than I have ever seen anybody take. Joe has in fact offered to go to the states and fight Hopkins before. Hopkins made a rediculous demand in terms of money and Joe said he would be willing to give up the lions share of the purse for this fight. Then, all of a sudden, Frank Warren gets a claim from Hopkins for DOUBLE what he had originally asked for (bearing in mind the purse was already being split around 65-35 in B-Hops favour). I would be suprised to see this fight come off, Hopkins wants nothing to do with Calzaghe, hes proved as much before. Suprised if I see this fight, yes. Suprised if I see Joe knock B-Hop out, no.

This fight will be similar to Bika vs Calzaghe but Hopkins will do much better he will rough Calzaghe up on inside and get Calzaghe off his rythm this will be horrible style match up for Calzaghe it won't be a good watch but Calzaghe will just do enough to earn a SD.

Calzaghe will only lose/win closely if the judging is complete horse****. Calzaghe by KO or a wide UD.

Calzaghe has shown time and time again he is capable of knocking people the **** out, where have you been?

Exactly. Bika beat the **** out of Joe physically even though he lost comfortably. But he gave Joe complete hell. Hopkins is the master of taking opponents out of their gameplan. I think that Hopkins has a chance. but he definitely is an under dog in my opinion.

I have great fear if the ref turns out to be American. That Yank ref for the Kessler fight was appalling. He pulled Joe away when he looked to be on the verge of finishing Kessler off in the 8th round I think. Appalling. Appalling Yank ref.
