Hopkins will land 100 clean, hard lead and counter right hands on Calzaghe in 10 rounds and take him
Eubank and Hopkins are quite similar because they both like to lean in with the right hand, difference is that Eubank couldn't do it against a southpaw stance and Hopkins canComment

interesting fight, although im sure that if calzaghe wins will not get the recognition cos hopkins is too old. unless he really school hopkins, but i find that very difficult.

B Hop is going to make sure this fight is middle to late 2008. Then he's going to make a boring fight & make sure Joe C. looks as terrible as possible. Joe C will win a decision. He will NOT KO Hopkins. Only by beating Roy Jone will B Hop or Calzaghe ever be considered the best light heavyweight of this era.Comment

On the boards Calzaghe wont get the credit he deserves, never has. The fact is Hopkins (regardless of his age) is currently ranked higher than Joe in PFP rankings and beat Tarver and Winky in his last two fights.Comment
