Factors people over look when saying Calzaghe should be Hopkins easily.

[RichCCFC]

Obviously I am a big Calzaghe fan and think he will win this fight but even I can be realistic when I say It wont be easy.

People shouldn't look past Hopkins' challenge because of the following :-

- He is undefeated against Southpaws (11-0) with his last 2 fights being against them also.
- He is the only one of the two who has fought at 175, this is a new territory for Calzaghe who is moving up.
- Calzaghe has never fought in America before (I don't think it means much AT ALL but it should be brought up).
- Although Hopkins has lost 4 fights, he has won his last two in a row and is far from being shot as many like to think.
- Calzaghe isn't that young either! Calzaghe will be 36 come fight night.

I still don't get why ppl think nutting somebody in the face and punching them in the nuts is "crafty" it just hurts plain and simple try it sometime, I don't think it'll be easy and I expect it to be alot closer on the cards than it should be.

Can you provide some examples of low blows by hopkins?
Can you provide some examples of "nutting somebody in the face" intentionally?

Thank you in advance.

Hopkins is banking that fighting in America is going to affect Calzaghe. Showtime in the states showed some of Calzaghe' earlier fights a few years ago. I remember fights when he went to england and had to endure far worse rabid hostile crowds because he was Welsh than he will ever get here in the states.

You're obviously a fan I'm sure you can find them on your lonesome, if leading with the head isn't against the rules then I stand corrected.

You get a sweet array of Nard's mad skillz in this one.
