    Hopkins' so-called "mind games" have no effect on Joe, a guy with more fighting experience than Hopkins', whatsoever. Dream on.
    His strategy aint a secret! Just punch in volumes! Why change if it got ya 44 wins in 44 fights?

      I liked Tyson.

      Surprisingly eloquent.

      I liked him interrupting him to tell Brian McBride he was going to 'gut him like a fish'

      McBride was saying some ridiculous **** about uniting Ireland for the duration of this fight.

      Yep,,,,,,,,,,,,,900 years of conflict. But all it needed was Brian McBride.

      I loved Tyson then.

        Calzaghe never used to talk full stop. That's why he couldn't get big fights.

          Calzaghe is acting the same way he always acts before a fight.

            You said Hopkins is getting into Joe's head because Joe said in an interview that he's gonna sit on his punches. I'm saying Joe wouldn't explain his actual strategy in any fight to the public. For starters, he has no strategy, his whole thing is adapting to a fighter on-the-fly and nullifying his best weapons. Joe has talked about knocking Bernard out for 10 years. Just because he said it again in an interview doesn't mean ****. Watch him adapt on the 19th. Give it 4 rounds and see what happens.

              I should add that I think the one who needs a strategy is Hopkins. He's the one who had to put together a "dream team" to try and take Joe out. He's the one with the pantomime ****, it's all an act and Joe isn't scared. Next, he's bringing the ****** mask out. Dude should have been a wrestler. Hopkins does not have the element of fear like someone like Tyson had. It's easy to laugh at Bernard and make him look dumb.

                That expression refers to TRAINING.


                "Head games" is what the media plays with YOU.

                  Not really.

                  But he is not doing it now......he's answering questions.

                  The most militant thing Joe ever said at a presser was that he was the better fighter and more handsome than Robin Reid.

                  Joe has started ripping people between fights. Because it gets him fights.


                  Hopkins would have you believe this meeting was all down to him.

                    Mayorga gets under everyone's skin. He made DLH and Vargas mad as hell and he's made a mortal enemy in Vernon Forrest.

                    Regarding Calzaghe, he's a veteran, he's heard all the trash talking before, I doubt he'll let it affect him in the fight.
