Hopkins hasn't even been knocked down in 13 years and I watched that fight last night and both knockdowns seemed like a decent punch and a push. Bernard was able to get back up and recover instantly. Now Calzaghe is miles better than Mercado and someone could try and argue that that 30 year old Bernard is better than the current "old, washed up" version (tell that to Winky and Tarver), but that is far from the truth.
Unless Bernard somehow ages overnight, and Calzaghe's hand heal completely overnight (or he wraps his hands 2 inches thick, like Trinidad or Mayweather), there's probably a 1% chance of Joe stopping him.
Here's hoping for a competitive, entertaining fight (yes I know, that's asking a lot.)
