4.Hopkins will develop the us versus them mentality. Hopkins is a proud American, and unlike many fighters is unafraid to carry the burden of fighting for his country. Hopkins will be motivated to carry the flag for America. He will look at this fight with a Rocky IV demeanor just as he did against Trinidad. Hopefully he does some flag stomping in the process.

I'm a massive Rocky fan, but Rocky 4 captulated the tensions of the USA Russia cold war. Not a fight between any two long term allies. It's a little ignorant, almost a USA vs world esk comment.

Furthermore Rocky didn't really succomb to the them vs us mentality so much which he demonstrated by making statements against that upon winning. His motivation and mindsight centered around Ivan killing his mate and idol.

A little them vs us can be healthy tension, competition, good motivator. But keep it in context.

Joe Calzaghe has been a World Champion for well over a decade and has fought and beaten six World Champions.

He has never, ever been beaten.

I personally feel that Hopkins will win, but nobody should underestimate Britain's best boxer.

Yes.

He has fought at Light Heavyweight before, whereas Big Joe has not, and he is still one of the best American boxers there is.
