Cmon Popkins fans, explain the master plan.

bro, dont call him popkins juz cuz calzaghe did. ur not calzaghe, no need to try and be funny, joe already beat u to it. his name is hopkins, and he has a chance of winning because of all his experience and conditioning. in all reality i doubt he will win ONLY because of age and age alone. 6 years ago he beats joe, not easily whatsoever, but still, and now at this stage joe beats him, not easily, but still...

dont call him popkins, no need, as it isnt funny.

It's just a nickname lol, most superstar fighters are not called by their real name. Vicky Fatton, Calslappy and so on.

I'm leaning towards Calzaghe to win, but only slightly, I won't give up on the chance of this fight going either way. Hopkins is undefeated against southpaws and knows how to adapt his defense to any fighter. However Joe fights the way Taylor fought when he won rounds in his fights with Hopkins; pressure, speed and power so Hopkins might well be taylor made for Joe at this point of his carreer. I don't consider Calzaghe to be as athletically gifted as Taylor though he does throw more and might have more power.

Karma for calling him Popkins.

10/10

Hopkins is the type of fighter that people should NEVER underestimate.
