        Hopkins experience, and him being in there with the best will be the difference, Calzaghe wont be able to slap his way threw 12 rounds with Hopkins.

          I want B-Hop to win but I feel Joe will win it on points but yesterday I had Hopkins to win on points. I can't make my mind up.

            It wouldnt suprise me if calzaghe won decivsley,

            However im really not sure if he is ready for hopkins ring craft,

            People need to remember hopkins doesnt take fights unless he sees something he can expose in a fighter,

            I watched a great video on you tube in which hopkins explains his dirty fightin techniques but also his outstanding boxing skills, he makes it clear he needs fighter to commit themselves so he can counter, he says he throws jabs at fighters not only to set up his own shots, but as bait to make them comit themselves so he can counter.

            He is so deep into boxing tactics its not even funny and if there is one thing calzaghe is gonna do on sat night, its come in from all sorts of angles balanced or not, and i think this actually might just suit hopkins.

            Calzaghe is an insticitve fighter, but i reckon he may have underestimate hopkins brain, if it gets tactical look for hopkins to pull off a shock.

              My favorite post on the Cal/Hop topic yet. Hopkins absolutely sees a couple flaws in Calzaghe's armor. I just wonder if he'll manage to expose them.

                Calzaghe to cement his legacy. Hopkins to add another 1 to his list.

                    Bro, would you mind putting that video up? It sounds very interesting.
