    Will Anyone Be Suprised If Hopkins beats Calzaghe?

    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!

      It would depend more on how he won. If he won by KO I would be shocked.

        I don't think Calzaghe underestimates anyone, and I do think Hopkins not only has a chance - I think he will win.

          Personally I would be shocked. A 43 year old man beating the second best fighter on this planet? WOW

              i think hopkins is a live underdog.

              i would be a little surprised but not too much. hopkins is an extremely smart fighter who knows the tricks and has a great track record versus lefties.

                I'd be a little surprised but I never count him out during a fight.

                  I would be shocked if Hopkins won, he is an old, 42 year old way past his prime.
