Joe Calzaghe vs Byron Mitchell

[MickyHatton]

War.

No way that guy beats Hopkins...lol.

Why???

Calzaghe has proven that he can box brilliantly (ala Lacy and Kessler), he has also proven that he can fight and take a shot.

Therefore what will Hopkins do to beat him?

Is Hopkins faster, stronger, fitter or more accurate?
What will Hopkins do that makes you say 'No way that guy beats Hopkins...lol'?

Yeah I'd like to hear an explanation of that.

In that video Calzaghe took his first ever knockdown, a fantastic shot that would have KO'd most other fighters and he gets up and opens a 6 pack of whupass on Mitchell. How is that worthy of: 'No way that guy beats Hopkins...lol'?

I'm keen to see the explanation as well.

Bernard must really be in it for the money now. Accepting a mult-million contract to finish his career on a loss. All that business end of things has gone to his head.

[blacksky]

some people look past ability and will say a fighter can win purely on the basis of nationality without actually believing it.

Hmmm... cue tumbleweed.

Man I've only heard the name but every post I hear about Sven Ottke fails to be flattering. I've never seen a fight of his all I know is that a few years ago he was one of the undefeated champions and because of that I assumed he was damn good.

[oovavu]

he'll win cause he's a black american you dummies.
