        My heart says Hopkins .. But my brain says Calzaghe, I don't know why.
        Calzaghes speed and workrate will give Hopkins some troubles..
        But, then again - Hopkins' is a defensive master! Has Calzaghe got the workrate and speed to break down his defense though? Time will tell. Plus, Hopkins is a dirty fighter I'll admit that, and Calzaghe showed against Bika he had a hard time fighting a dirty fighter. And Hopkins is 10,000 times better than Bika, so I'm sure Hopkins will make this the toughest fight of Calzaghes career.

        Hopkins points (always go by your heart, **** the brain haha) ............

          I think calz will go all out to prove a point he'll outwork b'hop(obviously) in the early rounds and go for the KO later on, especially if it does turn out to be his last fight.

              The Bika comparisons are valid, but The Blow didn't give a **** when he was fighting Bika... he'll bring his A game for Bore Hard.

                  Very true. Bika is a sluggish bum anyway, I can understand Joe not giving a **** about him.
                  So maybe he won't look as bad against a dirty fighter now that it's a very very important fight of his career - Not that the Bika one wasn't important, I mean it was a title defense but still.

                    Oh and people voting for Calzaghe by KO/TKO - No ****ing way
                    Hopkins might get outboxed, might get this and that or get embarassed worse than Lacy or ANYTHING, but no way this fight is gonna end in stoppage or KO.
