    Ok, he did say it.

    But that was before the fight was made, he was just trying to get the fight.

    It's different to actual "fight talk".

      Calzaghe is not as smart in the ring as Hopkins is. No Way!!

      If this turns into a chess match there will only be one winner, Hopkins.

      Calzaghe will win because of his workrate and sheer volume of punches, BUT, if the fight doesn't go his way and Hopkins can slow it all down it could get VERY interesting.

        Calzaghe always strikes me as very confident.

        But he if you read his book his doubts himself all the time.

            I think Calzaghe can win a chess match with Hopkins, only if he keeps throwing punches though.

              i don't really see calzaghe as an intelligent fighter. Hopkins is the boxing genius in this fight. Calzaghe is just an amazing talent with good athleticism and southpaw angles.

                We'll see. I think it's a fantastic match up.

                If I'm correct in my prediction, Calzaghe will take he first 3 rounds to figure Hopkins out then adapt his gameplan accordingly.
