    B-Hop will lose because of inactivity in the ring, especially when compared to what Joe's gonna produce. You know it and I know it. Joe Cal UD.

      Skills pay the bills my little uninformed mutant friend. Hopkins is not Jeff Lacy. Lacy was one dimensional, bulked up like the incredible hulk. Hopkins is faster but even if he wasn't, speed only kills when you have the brains to use that speed.

      Hopkins is a masterful technician, Lacy is not. What you should have done is compare Kessler to Hopkins. Now that's more reasonable and even then Hopkins has more dimensions in his fighting style then Kessler does.

        I mean i cant stress this enough but joe is one of the most hungrey fighters at the moment thats saying alot for where he lives not saying he was rich but his country sure is.
        He fights like a dragon thats why hes called that if hopkins cant get speed then he cant beat joe plus joe doesnt slap look at lacys face for gd sakes.
        i dunno u know. its closer than u think. i would love Calzaghe to win. But Hopkins is a good fighter too so im torn on who i think will win but i kno who id want to.

        lol @ ur comment on his country bein rich, thanks lol - we aint that rich we're just a small country, less people for the money to go round :P lol

          With Joes speed advantage he would be the better counter puncher out of the two in this fight. B-hop will have to time his shots to absolute perfection to counterpunch Joe, whereas Joe could use his speed to catch him pretty much everytime.

          As for the southpaw thing, the best southpaw Hops has ever faced was DLH, (for the sake of arguement it doesnt matter about the size difference) Right now, Joe brings more than DLH did. When B-hop fought DLH he was younger and a little fresher, you can see it in comparison to his more recent fights. Joe brings probably as much as that Oscar did anyway, but Hops is older now and will not be able to live with the speed as well as he could back then.

          At this stage, right now, the tougher fight, by quite a bit, is Joe.
          if you knew boxing you would know timing beat speed every time.
          when did dlh become a soutpaw?
          i wish we take away points for each dumb comment
