Joe Calzaghe: "I Will Knock Hopkins Out"

[RisAri0]

Joe didn't even say he'd knock Bernard out in that article.

haha exactly, very deceiving thread title....he just plans to win every round as possible thats all....dominate every second of the fight from start to finish.. no one's KOing Hopkins in our lifetime...sig this if Joe actually does..

Yeah. The interview was from tonight's Rees-Kotelnik fight, I'm sure everyone who watched it knew this. At no point did he say he was gonna knock Hops out.

"Joe Calzaghe has predicted a win by knockout" = BS.

"Calzaghe plans to come out swinging, looking to become the first fighter to knock Hopkins out." = BS.

He ain't gone do ****! Hopkins punishes ***azhe rd5-12. LHW champion and comfortable x 2plus yrs. If it was slap boxing, Fazaghe UD12. Grown man's game! "U slap me, I KYTFO, then get paid! Calzaghe proves me wrong and I become a believer. Defeat RJJ and be crowned! That's a fight I would pay$$,$$$ to see. < a month away. April will be a good month for boxing aficionados.

Joe doesn't slap. Those fast flurries are merely to confuse an opponent, because mixed in with those shots you call slaps are hard punches. He throws a ton of punches but maybe 1 in 4 or 5 will be hard. It works well for him. Quit hating man, it's immature.

Yep.

You have a 43 year old who is past it. He has beaten what Taylor in the last couple of years and winky. Winky is past it. Taylor simply aint an elite fighter.

Calzaghe is at the top of the toughest division in the world. SMW.

He will stop Bernard.

Im being honest here, Americans are caught up in media and can not identify decent talent. Apart from Gamboa, Calzaghe and kessler are still under rated and would demolish any American fighters in the divisions.

Calzaghe TKO in the 8th.

This is going to send boxing on its head in the US.

Wait for the demands for Kessler, Mundine and Bute to start fighting over there aswell.

About darn time.

Im certain by the time I read this post someone replied to this gentlemen's smw satement. Let's see..

I assure you there is no hating here sir/madame. Suppose you are correct. I throw 12 punches/fast, just to land 3, all while your anticipating my 12 random punches looking for an opportunity to go 1/1, while allowing you to burn your o2 load and slow down faster than me. "Styles make fights!"
That won't work either!

Calling someone "***azhe" sure sounds like hating to me. It's also ****phobic, which is not too far away from racism, in my opinion.

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

I agree, but I think it will be a KO similar to how Sven Ottke KO'd Mundine.

And KO BHOP? Not only does the EURO get higher! You ever stop to think why most European fighters lose when they travel across the pond? I do! What I equate it with is superior European marketing. For US fighters its like a beef farm, veil specialty, Calzghe's case Ribeye! I could be wrong but history predicts another UK sobering. DETOX! If i'm proven to be wrong I will show proper respect. Just not planning on it!
I LUV the UK!

I think Joe has heavy hands so even when he slaps his opponents must be feeling it.
