If Bhop manages a win.....

do you think joe will retire? if not, where does he go from there?

I think his pride would drive him to take at least one final fight at 168 lbs in the UK. Maybe he'd fight Froch, assuming he beats Inkin.

plus everyone would say joe was to small or over-blown

I don't think anyone is going to say that.

Joe is a career super middle and has been bursting out of the seams for years at that weight.

I personally think he will be the physically stronger fighter out of the two, which is why I don't think Hopkins has much chance.

JC walks around at 14 stone apparently. That's 28 pounds over the super middle limit. He is a bigger man than Hops I think. Though I know he did debut at light heavy.

Nobody is good enough to dominate Joe, least of all Bernard "3 punches and a headbutt" Hopkins. Most idiotic thing I have read in a while. If Joe "loses" this fight, it will be because he is a white welshman, no other reason. ****ing yanks and their gift decisions is the only thing I am nervous about in this fight.

are you serious? anybody can be beat on any given night. stop gasing joe up. he very good but damn put the beer down mate.

I did not say Calzaghe will lose to Bernard, infact I think he will win a clear UD. I was just giving a scenario and example of what might become of Calzaghe IF he loses(And figuring that anything is possible in boxing-we've already had some upsets this year-It was not THAT idiotic), and it was my opinion that the only reason he would retire is if he was dominated by Hopkins. Don't need to get all offensive.

they will say it. what would say about tito if he won against bhop? what will they say a p. williams when his career is done. i wonder what they think about toomy hearns? hopkins first fight was at cruiserweight. he is 6'1 and joe is 5'10-5'11. i think bhop is the bigger person

ehhhh....wrong. his first fight was at light heavy, which he lost! learn ur facts b4 posting them incorrectly!

B-Hops is taller. Anyway it's not like he is going to utilize that. He is primarily an inside fighter now. I doubt at 44 years old he is as physically strong as Calzaghe who has been in with bigger men than Hops anyway. I don't think Hops can get the better of Joe in the inside, so bullying Joe and making it scrappy is going to be difficult. That ****, won't win him the fight anyway.

I have a sneaky su****ion the fight will be competitive, but when I think about it I just can't see how.

I had a dream the other night that Hopkins KOd Joe.

Thats the only way he can possibly win.
