      Only fights that matter for Bernard after this are Jones and possibly dawson if he can beat Johnson. Ultimate showdown of young and old, but Dawson ain't got enough start power to make that likely. If the outcome of the Joe C fight ain't decisive we might get a reamtch of that one provided the fight ain't boring.

        Because he's a bum and Hopkins deserves no credit if he beats him?

          No Hopkins deserves credit for exposing a guy who's not on his level. Again.

            Hopkins says that he's up in the mountain, "and getting, you know, once a week, and just, you know"....etc

            So.........I'm wondering what it is that he's saying he's "getting" once a week?? He isn't saying what he's getting, so I'm curious. Slightly facetious but definitely curious.

              The same things you have to deal with day in day out.

                This fight is great.

                Now Calzaghe is getting far more credit if he wins. The Americans are crawling out of the woodwork in favour of Hops.

                It should tell you something that Joe keeps saying he wants to entertain....not just win. Entertain.

                That shows the level of confidence.

                You can't gage the old man, since most of what he says is just standard recycled **** talking.

                  Of course Calzaghe is confident. He's fighting a 43 year old. What is Joe supposed to say? "Umm I'm not really sure about this fight, Hopkins has never lost to a south paw."

                  Winky Wright and Hopkins promised an exciting and entertaining fight. That sure did turn out correct

                    Like he exposed Roy Jones Jr and Jermain Taylor?

                    Hopkins made a promise to his mother to retire at 40, we all see how that turned out.

                      I dont know what i am talking about, but you come on a boxing website and have nothing but basketball stuff and women posted. Get a life and some common sense. I dont hate B-hop, I just think he runs his mouth too much. I bet you do too. Really, it dont matter because it will just be sweeter when Calzaghe whips his a55. And believe me, he will.
