Will Anyone Be Suprised If Hopkins beats Calzaghe?

i would b shocked.if hop lost 2 taylor for lack of punch output.how in hell can he keep up wit calzhage.

[Fox McCloud]

Not at all actually.

If Joe gets rattled because his punch output is being majorly ****ed up by Hopkins's straight right hand counter, then it could actually end up being a fairly easy fight for Hopkins.

I am picking Calzaghe, but I am far from confident about this one. A 53/47 split kind of thing.

I know SOME people feels as though B-Hop has no chance in this dance! But MOST boxing experts feel as though he's very capable of pulling it out!
Personally, I feel as though Joe might be underestimating Hopkins because of his age! You're only good as your last fight, and neither guy looked that GOOD! Calzaghe wasn't accurate, and Hopkins held all night!

So If Hopkins was able to beat Calzaghe would you be suprised? I sure won't!

I honestly think BH is taking the fight for the money. I think he knows he won't win but believes his defense and movement (look for BH to be on his bike all fight) will be enough to get him through.

When I think of JC's relentlessness, speed, stamina and punch output I just
don't see BH having much of a chance...

JC's legs are fresher at this stage and should be able to outwork Bhop, but Bhop is one of the dirtiest fighers out there and if he can slow joe down with a couple of cheap shots he could pull joe into the type of fight he likes, not saying Bhop is out and out dirty, he has all the tools, but he has always been very good hiding some of the diry stuff from the refs and putting the opponent of their game

I'm not totally convinced Calzaghe would win so no I wouldn't be surprised. Hopkins is just one of those fighters who ages very well. I think Calzaghe should keep his distance like Taylor did in his fight against Hopkins rather than trying to chase him down like Winky did.

I would be DAMN SUPRISED!

[KESSLER]

I wouldn't be shocked, at all ... Real talk.

I'll definitly be surprised. If he figures out a way to beat Calzaghe, well then Hopkins is the perfect puzzle cracker. Whatever gameplan Hopkins might have though, I don't think he'll get a chance to even start it.

[bluemax]

Calzaghe will beat Hopkins easilly!!! This isn't the Hopkins of 5-6 years ago. Hopkins is simply to slow and will lack the stamina to stay with Calzaghe. If Hopkins wins this would have to be concidered a rather large upset, possible but highly unlikely.

So If Hopkins was able to beat Calzaghe would you be suprised? I sure won't!

Not at all, i mean, i still expect calzaghe to win, but part of me has a feeling hopkins is gonna pull it off. I'll wait till later then make my official pick.
