    I don't see Calzaghe KO'ing B-Hop. If he did though I would be impressed, but I know there would be tons of people on here claiming Bernard was shot and it didn't mean anything. Plus if B-Hop wins there will be excuses as well. I can only imagine what all the excuses will be on here.
    my thing is this we will all know if he is shot or not? correct? i would be no point of saying it if we all see the same thing. i don't think he is shot specially after see him train. you will not see no excuse out of me. i honestly think this one the fights you will see him at his best.

      Calz wouldn't get much respect for knocking a 40+ year old fighter out. Even if it is Hopkins.

        I know he punches like a ***** now, but on his way up he was about the hardest hitter in boxing - knocking guys clean through the ropes with a bomb, etc. But he's struggled with both his weight and his hand since the Reid fight, and since the Lacy fight has looked power-less.[
        almost every real good boxer looks like that on way up i wonder why? hummm

          Calzaghe can TKO Hopkins, but is not going to KO him cold. Joe cant sit on his punches anymore with his hands and wrist problems.

          Age should not be an excuse since Hopkins has had his two biggest wins his last two fights and Joe is no spring chicken himself.

                what if is a good way to put it, because hopkins is not getting knocked out, but if he did do it, i wouldnt like it, but id respect it, thankfully, this fights going 12 rounds, so i wont be worrying about that.

                  I would love it if it happened. Would certainly derail all these "slap" losers.....

                    listen, Calzaghe will get all the respect in the world if that happens and Hopkins will still be hated by the UK fans even if he KO's calzaghe. thats just the way it is. And besides, there is no way Calzaghe of all ppl is gonna be the one to KO hopkins. hops has never been ko'd before and he has faced alot of great fighters and power punchers. This fight is a UD for sure and if I really was forced to say KO, Hopkins would be the one ko'ing calzaghe.

                      I like the logic you have used here. Who has KO'd the most people in the last, say, 5 fights? Its Calzaghe, who also has never been knocked out. Who has the best KO ratio? Again, Calzaghe. Who's gunna be doing the knocking out again?
