Hopkins-Calzaghe Ready For April 19 Clash

[Guest]

Well 6 months ago Hopkins WAS good enough to beat a top p4p guy in Winky Wright. Hopkins makes other people fight at his pace.

Did you even see how Winky looked at a light heavy? He had no business being anywhere above 160.

If you seriously think Hopkins is good enough to be anywhere near a P4P at this point in his career, you're going to get a reality check on April 19th. I'm no Calzaghe fan, but I expect him to win at least 10 rounds. He's no blown up jr. middle light Winky. Wright looked awful carrying 170 lbs.

Roy Jones would be a much tougher fight than Hopkins right now.

Sin you were impressed with what you saw from Jones in the Trinidad fight?

It will be interesting to see if Hopkins will be able to handle Joe's high work rate. B-Hop in his old age has found ways to win, and I wouldn't doubt if he did it again against Calzaghe. With all the talk of this fight lets hope it really happens.

But he didn't fight Winky at light heavy, he fought him at 170, basically one division above where Winky beat Trinidad, Taylor (arguably) and Quartey.

How many fights does Calzaghe have at LHW again?

Bhopn will rough calzag up real good. a few headbutts, elbows , n low blows. if calzag dnt get rattled he may get a ud. if so he needs to fight roy or dawson.

My point is that Hopkins is way past his prime and has been for years. The guy has very little mobility and stamina at this point. Calzaghe is known for ducking any real challenge, so I doubt he would have fought Hopkins when he was around his prime.

When did Bernard lose his mobility and stamina.From the last few Hopkins fights that I have witnessed his stamina Is simply amazing.

why is this on the main page?

I'm guessing the servers had some kind of glitch with the change to a new year. It certainly threw me for a loop the first minute.

Wouldn't mind seeing a rematch (in Wales tho not Cortez-land), Calzaghe's time out should even things up a bit.

damn i thought this was a rematch when i saw this bumped up haha
