Calzaghe will embarrass Hopkins. Hopkins is nowhere near the class Calzaghe is in right now (I'd also say he never was). Hopkins made his name beating on little guys, maybe they were big names, but they were little guys with big names. Joe has carved out a 44 fight unbeaten run, almost half of which were world title fights, against men HIS OWN SIZE. Haters keep saying silly things like "Lacy/Kessler/anyone else will expose Joe for the slapper he is LAMO" yet not a single one has managed to beat him. Bernard seems to lose vs people closer to his own size (Taylor,RJJ), and Joe is the same size, so Bernard loses the size advantage he so obviously needs to win a fight. People are also forgetting that when B-Hop was in his prime, Joe, although not quite as good as he is now, was still using all his power. Not to mention the fact B-Hop was offered a fight vs Joe and ducked, draw your own conclusions from that one. Prime B-Hop loses to Calzaghe by late TKO. Past it B-Hop gets absolutely humiliated by a prime Calzaghe, who scores a 10 second KD, KOing him for the first time in the second half of the fight.Comment

You're right man !
Hopkins is somehow very overrated. He hasn't the talent like a Jones, Toney or a Calzaghe but he made "smart" desicions. He ducked the rematch with Jones (50-50 was a joke, if you remind that Hopkins got 300k for his first fight after Tito), he ducked Calzaghe. If you put DLH next to Hopkins he looks like a little child. C'mon Hopkins started @LHW and is a very big MW, Oscar was a SF. How can you gain a status as legent by beating a guy who started his career ~50 pounds lighter than you. C'mon its like Calzaghe beating Pacman or Marquez in this sense.
@tyson
Did he slap against Kessler?? I didn't notice that.Comment
