    Hopkins is kown for using his head as well. Thats exactly how Winky Wright had that huge gash over his eye and Taylor had that cut on the top of his forehead. I see Hopkins roughing Calzaghe up worse than Bika did because Hopkins actually sticks to his game. There were times that Bika did nothing but stare at Calzaghe. On April 19, Calzaghe is definatly in for a long night.

    Bika defenatly won some rounds. He did a lot better than Jeff Lacy and Kessler did in my opinion.

          Calzaghe must be so glad he took the Bika fight now. Hopkins can show him nothing he hasn't already seen.

            This fight has the word "mismatch" written all over it.
            Joe spanks the living hell out of Popkins.

              Please, Hopkins is a lot better than any version of Bika. Bika has never even been a champion and is no where near Hopkins when it comes ring smarts, generalship, pure boxing ability, and rough house tactics. Bika is an unorthadox ****er that is a decent fighter. Hopkins is a great fighter that is one of the greatest middleweights of all time. HUGE difference.

                A prime Hopkins to me would be around the time the middleweight tourney promoted by DK...that B-Hop would edge Joe to a SD in primes..it'd be a real close fight I know that...

                  We have never seen anyone ever beat Joe yet.

                  Not even a debatable decision.

                  He is beatable, but ive never been that impressed with Hopkins. His best wins are victories over fighters moving up in weight and not being able to handle it.

                      Calzaghe's style always would have given Hopkins problems but the Hopkins of 1997-2000 was much more active and had good pop on his punches, tough on to call and wouldn't be surprised if they split fights, I think Hopkins wins the first.
