Joe Calzaghe: "Hopkins is Going To Get Done"

[brynaboy]

Strength isn't gonna be a issue in this fight. Neither guy is a power puncher and neither guy is hitable enough to land that Ko punch even if you had the punching power.

Hopkins is motivated by legacy. He wants one more big victory under his belts, the payday is just a bonus. Don't even get that twisted. It was your boy Joe who said that he is only fighting Hopkins for the money and nothing else. And we all know that Joe will be getting his career high payday in this fight, Hopkins I don't think so. He has had at least 2 higher paydays in his career then the one he is about to have.

My pick: Hopkins by split decision in a ugly fight.

Oh this is so easy. I'll gain stakes on Pavlik getting beat by Taylor, tossing a winning coin for Haye -Macarranelli, and then gain some ground by not only predicting a Calzaghe victory, but telling you how it will happen. Not shooting from the hip. Have watched alomost 80 fights from these two guys, and there is only one winner. New kid on the block. I'm 18-2 with the bookies on title fights, and I'm comin for your crown chico.

And by the way, let's talk facts if I'm gonna steal your thunder. That's the only way I'd have it. 'Your boy (first this suggests a bias - a fault in predicting outcomes) said he was only fighting Hopkins for the money and nothing else' ... is bull****. The whole paragraph is bull****. Read it again and admit it. 'The payday is just a bonus' ???

Also, strength may be an issue, but we won't get into that right now. I'll agree, it may not be the deciding factor. I'll clock up my chips and I'll see you at the table hey. Cheers.

It would be good if JC could stop BH. JC is not known to hit hard. I think JC can hit very hard but he always has protecting his hands in mind. Its the fact that JC hit hard that he has weakened hands now i think.

joe is way to quick, and has a much higher workrate for bhop to even keep up! bhop is content throwing few punches these days, and hugging for the rest of the time! he would have to really step up his output to contend with joe! i dont see it, and joe wins a pretty wide ud like 8-4!

Scary Joe clinches more than a gay octopus with a velcro fetish..

Did you see the Bika fight?

Joe is quick against handpicked bums...and he ALWAYS pulls straight back after he throws his gay-ass powderpuff combos..Hopkins will be all over his overrated ass..

Calzone is only taking this fight because he thinks Hops is too old

BIG MISTAKE

Old Joe is very soft in the body as well as being a coward..

People keep referring to Joe's soft punching style? I know i wouldn't get in the ring with him nor do (did) most fighters around the world! In reference to the above, check out Kessler's left eye during or after the bout. Kessler like Calzaghe is a tough MF! Early prediction Cal 120 - BHOP 108.
