    I dunno, I think Hopkins has no chance at beating Joe unless he turns it into a VERY dirty matchup. Calzaghe has too much heart and determination to lose. I'm not saying B-hop doesn't, but I just don't expect the old man to go in there trading punches with a man that throws 1000s of punches. He said it himself that he wouldn't. So what else can he do? It's gonna be ugly, very ugly. It's gonna be B-hop ugly!

      Kris wasn't saying they are alike, he was saying Joe overcame what they brought to the ring, including Bika's dirty fighting and headbutting which is something Hopkins is known for.

        Most fighters have that characteristic

          Anyway, I think that whole cus you fought in Europe **** is ******.
          Hopkins fought in the U.S. all his life what difference does it make?
          He should have just said cus you fought mostly nobodys and bums..
          that would have been more on point.
          ........psychological warfare is a mutha******

            Hopkins is clearly a moron, but a great fighter nevertheless.

              I wouldn't go as far as calling him a moron. I admire him for pulling himself out of a bad lifestyle and doing something positive. Clearly, he's a sharp man in many ways, not the most gifted in others, but he is a likeable character most of the time.

                  Calzaghe has huge respect for Kessler, because A) he's a great fighter, and B) he's a damn nice guy who didn't need to talk **** about Joe before or after their fight. How can you not appreciate a fantastic fighter like Kessler, a total pro and a supremely good guy also?

                  Kessler would give Bernard Hopkins a hard night if they fought. Stop making Hopkins out to be the second coming of Ali or something man, he's a boring fighter nowadays who lost twice to Jermain Taylor not so long ago. Oddly enough, I'm still a fan of Bernard, but come on man, he isn't God.

                  One other thing -- Bernard saying "Kessler? Who the hell is Kessler?" is bull****. I have seen interviews with Bernard since before the Kessler-Calzaghe fight where Bernard talked about Kessler. He knows exactly who he is, don't be fooled.

                    As I said, Hopkins is a moron.

                    Or he certainly acts that way!
