For you that think Popkins will win... Plz Explain

[Lucky13]

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

True that, but so is Joe.

[Azteca]

Who was the idiot that said Hopkins had great conditioning?

For a 43 year old man, yes.

But the man runs for half the fight and throws 15 punches a fight.

He isn't exactly exerting himself.

I know, in all honesty I have so much respect for both fighters, I'm a little sad that somebody has to lose. I will give huge respect for the winner. It sucks because people don't give all credit for Jo when a beat Kessler, who is a ****ing good fighter imo.

Also, people say Hopkins is old and shot, but he just beat the guy who was 2nd best fighter P4P for many people. Hopkins is really good against southpaw and he has something that Kessler and Lacy didn't have, experience.

He does have great conditioning, he actually gets his opponents to follow his rythm but Joe is the kind of fighter that doesn't give a ****, he'll go in there and fight, he'll make Hopkins throw 2 punches per round, instead of 1.

[oovavu]

at the end of the day for some reason hes p4p top 10 in most ppls lists, i don't agree but what do i know, a win over hops would be a big tick next to calz's name, he may come out less pretty but i think its an easy fight.

i think Bhop will win cause well a few reasons...yes his punch count is low, however his land percentage is fairly high...Calzaghe gets a lil punch happy sometimes and that indeed will set up gr8 opportunities for a 2slide..since Joe is a lefty...most know the left hook and right str8 pretty much give em hell all nite..and yup Hop is undefeated vs lefties..but whatever thats not a good argument for me...i'm still mad he didnt fight the Heavyweight

No he doesn't. I havent seen proof of his conditioning for years.

It's easier to look great at the latter stages of bouts if you aren't throwing many punches and always using lateral movement and on the backfoot.

Dont even try and tell me he's in better shape then the young guys, cause i wont believe it.

Didn't the Kessler fight teach you anything about Joe's accuracy?

Hopkins ? easy fight ? euh no

That will be an hard fight for both fighter.

28% and actually Kessler landed a better % than Calzaghe
