Joe Calzaghe: "I Will Hurt Bernard Hopkins"

[FRKO]

As long as we don't liken Calzaghe to Hatton it's all good. They're both UK fighters, and that's where the similarities end. Funny how the one with lesser skills gets the most attention.

[FLY TY]

LMAO!!!! as the fight gets closer, we see who's more focused and going to win. calzghe's strength is his PUNCH OUTPUT. if he slows down, he's fighting hopkins's fight! hop has never been knocked out, and its because of the way he sets up defensively.....its hard to hit him cleanly!!! your best chance is to throw 1000 punches, and look for the decision. KNOCKING HOPKINS OUT WHILE THROWING 1 PUNCH AT A TIME????? LMAO!!! i hope joe is kidding!

I cant say that i have followed Calzaghe for a long time ( Or any Limey Fighter ) But i know a huge amount of People started believing in Calzaghe after the Lacy fight which he dominated . fast forward to the Mayweather v Hatton undercard where the Same Left Hook lacy was in my opinion Owned by someone who starred on the contender ( Manfredo) . Could it be that Calzaghe might be walking with a false sense of security.

Calzaghe dominated Lacy and Manfredo so that doesn't prove much. Hopkins looked like garbage against a novice Taylor and didn't have the jack to take back what Taylor took in the rematch. He fought the same boring safety fight like nothing was at stake. Hopkins was also going to KO the midget Winky too and that never did quiate materialize either. Hopkins has no intention of ko'ing Calzaghe or even making it a good fight and that's why its not PPV. HOpkins just wants it to go 12 so he can ***** about losing. I just hope he gets a lacy level shellacking so he can't talk but he will talk anyway

Im pretty sure the reason its not on PPV is because Joe Calzaghe is not a draw over here. His and Kessler's match was the lowest rated World Championship Boxing in HBO's history, now why would they risk putting him on PPV?

Do you all really feel he will beat Hopkins?

He built his career outside of the U.S. and this will play a big factor
in the level of experience.

You all are in for a rude awakening.

Don't act surprised, he is the big favourite with all the bookies aswell. If you're that confident then you should stick some cash on the fight, you could be raking it in.

I'd say you are.

And not just in this fight.....consistantly over and over again.

Until you rid yourself of your American-centric attitude.

Good fighters every buddy, and they fight were the money is made.

Super middle is a euro-dominated division. Apart from the brief emergence of Jeff 'lol' Lacy

Byron Mitchell nearly had Calzaghe out, we should be saying Hopkins can maybe score a ko its not out of the question.

I remember Joe getting straight up after the knock down, And sort him out...Joes recovery is freaky, He recovers very quick. I dont think some of you guys relise how good Joe really is, Enough guys on here talking like Joe dont know his ****, Every time he has said what hes gonna do he does it period!!! until that changes I will listern to what he says..

Mmmmm I think you will find that, Joe messed Lacy up big time and it has messed him up mentaly..That **** happens To be honest props to Lacy for carrying on fighting.

I just see Bernard bullying and schooling him until Joe quits or gets KO'd...I see this fight no other way.
