      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?

      the bad part is they both have 32 ko's bhop has more fights, but do you count those early stops for joe in there.. ratio don't make me laugh it don't for nothing when they fight. so is it how many times did you get hit? or how many punches he threw? everybody knows joe has soft hands. and stop with if he sit down on his punch crap. he will not do it

        Thats what I was thinking. Even if Hopkins does lose (I'm nuetral on this fight.Just want to see a good fight) he will not get KO'ed. He is defensive minded and its rare a defensive fighter gets KO.

          Yo, B-Hopp ain't never not been knocked out before, dat mean's dat its an impossibility. You see my freakin' logic there, jack ass? Lamo, pwn!













          (Note: I am NOT suggesting it is likely that Hopkins WILL get knocked out, just highlighting some of the ******ity that suggest he won't. )

            At 175 Calzaghe is an unknown he may be better he may be worse but he will hit harder by having to sacrifice less lean muscle mass making weight.

              I fancy a bet on Joe to take Hopkins out inside the distance. 5K, any takers?

                You dont even have enought points to pay your debts if Joe loses......so why would anybody with a brain bet with you?

                  I know the lady who does the interviews for FrankWarren.Tv and see said she see Joe (Who was 180) kockout Bradly Price sent him (With full head gear on) and out box and drop Enzo Maccarinelli who is 6wks ahead of Joe in his prep.

                  Enzo Calzaghe scores all fights honestly and he and Steve Bunce had it 120-107 Joe in that sparring session.

                    Hopkins has nearly been stopped before when he fought at altitude but I just think he will be too smart defensively to get knocked out cleanly.

                    I think its a far greater possibility that Hopkins gets overwhelmed. I think one factor in this fight is Hopkins fights against smaller men. He looks to bully them on the inside, i really dont see him doing this to Calzaghe.

                    Hopkins has a chance to win the fight by fouling and trying to throw Joe off his game but I can`t see him winning without fouling.

                      Thats his only chance of winning that and having Nady cortez as the referee!
