    I cant believe so many people are taking this fight so seriously, i mean i like Hopkins, i'm a fan and i believe the Hopkins who fought Trinidad would have easily beaten Calzaghe but he is a fraction of the fighter he once was, he is 43 and his body simply wont allow him to fight at the pace Calzaghe will set, if he couldnt do it 3 years ago v Taylor he sure can't do it now.

        At no time in his career would Calzaghe ever have been an easy fight for Hopkins. Bernard has shown against Tarver and Winky that he because of the phenominal shape he keeps himself in between fights, he has still retained most of his abilities. Against Taylor, he dominated him in the last 3 or 4 rounds with ease, if he had put more effort into the first 8 or 9, he would have won with ease in the first fight.

          I saw Hopkins lose his fights with Taylor because he thought he was too good to fight every round against Taylor. Remember Taylor I, when Hopkins seriously sat there and ****ed around taunting and posing for 8 rounds? That didn't have a lot to do with how much Hopkins has left IMO.

          The Tarver fight showed that he still had the desire and ability to go 12 full rounds if he was motivated. The Wright bout confirmed it.

            If so, I'll have a bet with them.

            yeap, sure am. Joey is a good fighter but put him in the ring with Bhop and he won't know what to do. Believe that.

                wft lol
                And then he destroyed him in the rematch and almost finished him in the 12th round. Besides that was brawler Hopkins anyway. He's a lot different now.

                Nice try though.

                  Hopkins will have a nice try.

                  won't be no where near good enough against Calzaghe though.


                  Hopkins will get beat better than he has ever been before, Mark my words!
