[Truth]

64% of this boxing fan base believes that Calzaghe will win.

65% for Joe
32% for Hopkins

This is closer than I expected...

Calzaghe by UD......Or I could also see Hops getting DQed once he realizes he just can't beat this guy.

Calzaghe has to be careful whenever Hopkins sways backs into the ropes (keep the guard up). If he isn't he'll end up just like Winky.

Calzaghe UD.

I can't see how you can win more rounds than Joe other than knocking him out, having a comparable work rate, or by continually landing right hands and tying him up before he can get off.

Hopkins will land a few, and I might be the only person who thinks Hopkins is going to eaten alive in the clinches anyway.

Calzaghe UD!!!!!!!

Like the Taylor fights? Calzaghe is hardly green, he is a wily veteran aswell.


7 extra pounds on a big SMW? Get a grip.


And his speed, his excellent inside game, his footwork, his boxing brain etc etc etc.


You realise Calzaghe isn't a welterweight?


It seems to me like alot of Hopkins fans have picked who they WANT to win and are now trying to rationalise their choice, until they actually end up believing that he will win.

Thats a very good post.

I kinda did that with Maccarinelli. I wanted him to win so much that I thought he would win.

Wait wait wait? 7 extra pounds on a big super middleweight isn't too much? I thought 7 extra pounds on a big jr.middleweight was too much. How can Joe have that pass, but Trinidad can't?

That being said, NO EXCUSES come April 19th. Joe isn't too small. He isn't way past his prime. Bernard isn't ancient. Screw the ref too.

Let the best man win and it will go down as a legit win for either fighter.
