    Let me tell you something. After Hopkins finishes brutalizing Calslappy it WILL NOT be remember as his biggest win. Not even close. Calzaghe will become an exposed, eurobum overnight. Reaping what he sewed his whole bum fighting career. Trinidad, Delahoya, Tarver, and Wright will absolutely be remembered as bigger wins. Those guys are great fighters who actually own great wins against established fighters. Not just a bunch of prospects, suspects, has beens and never was.


    Hopkins is off with the man Mackie Shilstone right now putting on that extra beef he needs to pound Calzaghe's ass in to the ground. There's going to be allot of sad, sorry Calzaghe fans lurking around come April 20th. I think you guys are going in for a rude awakening.

      I think that its good that we are here to write and form opinions and share them but to be honest with you, the author of this article is not subjective. He does make some very true and interesting points however some of that which he uses as basis is flawed. I mean he states that Hopkins had an advantage over Tarver and somehow discrediting that win. Sir by all means I think that to this day you are the only author I know who does not give Hopkins credit there. When James Toney had to loose excess weight to fight Jones and Jones whipped James no one can blamed Roy for that but rather James.Although you have made some good points in various areas I think on the overall the article certainly posses some underlying bais against Hopkins, something you are entitled to,however this are rather veer off from fact.Hopkins took a risk in fighting Tarver and emerged the winner even though he had to move up, he did not beat Tarver he whipped him. I urge you to give credit where it is due.

        John Hively SUCKS. He should have been swallowed.

        Hopkins should string him up and use him as a punching bag.

          I agree but hes right when he says that a win over Calzaghe would be the biggest win Hopkins ever had.
