    Somehow, haters will find a way to convince other haters that Joe was like some small featherweight moving up to HW to fight him

    in other words, haters will say Joe was too small...even though Hopkins fought 98% of his career at MW and Joe has fought his entire career at SM...

        I believe Hopkins has already put on record for everyone that Joe has said he feels comfortable at the weight and there would be excuses.

          If Hopkins beats Calzaghe u have to think he is up there with Roy Jones JR & PBF ,nobody has come close to beating Calzaghe u could make a case for Robin Reid but he lost by 2 rounds IMO ,Dont forget Calzaghe has not just beaten Kessler & Lacy he put on dominent displays of Brilliant Boxing and showed glimpses that he is a special fighter

          i think if Hopkins winss it is massive for his legacy

            regardless how he wins, if he wins it puts him up there with Floyd and Roy for sure!
