Hopkins Brushes Off Calzaghe's Workrate

[pelo suelto]

Brushing off his workrate is one thing now, but when he is in the ring its another story

I agree all the hopkins haters will post in the morning with their **** talking but ill be here to argue with them

[edgarg]

TICKET SALES...Does anyone know anything??

I ALWAYS begin by not believing anything that Hopkins says. It's mainly PR and he'd disappointed too many times in the past.

BUT.........does anyone know how the ticket sales are going.....I've read somewhere, that they were going poorly??

Yea, I'm waiting too. All I can find so far is this pic lol

HOPS will win

How do I get access to the articles. Everytime I try to click an article in the forum or main page it says "invaid access". Well how do I get valid, so I can read this article.

hopkins needs another ass whipping like ROY JONES put on his ass, not that JOE C. will, but i'd love to see it happen.

yeah roy jones kicked his ass! he landed huge shots and hopkins almost died!

that fight was terribly boring and was not dominated by either fighter, and a prime RJJ was prettty damn good

[GodOfWar]

wow, tickets in all the sections are still available.

PS: Hopkins is gonna woop Calzaghe

I know what you're thinking and it wrong. You think that Calzaghe would be foolish enough to leave himself open at times, since most boxers who have high work rates leave themselves open at times.

I'm not overly impressed with the workrate argument myself, and that's all you hear - but it isn't something I ignore either. The thing about Calzaghe's workrate though is that he jumps in.. He rushes in like a Kamikaze with alot of that and just windmills away when he's breaking serve.. That isn't going to work on Hopkins for more than a couple of series at most.

Calzaghe hits pretty good, but he's going to pay when he does that. Joe don't hit quite good enough to stop Hopkins from moving, and while Calzaghe is quick he's not nescessarily explosive.

Joe doesn't have the inclination always to be clever about how he goes in. Like I've been saying since 2 minutes after the Kessler fight here on this forum when Calzaghe mania exploded; Joe Calzaghe makes too many mistakes to beat Bernard Hopkins, and I'm sticking to it. Joe's secret weapons are naked aggression and a tremendous chin. His chin is what worries me.. You have to honestly fear Joe could walk through every mistake. His chin is that solid even though he's been down in the past..

Calzaghe advocates talk about the Taylor fights, but Joe doesn't do it like that. He's different, and he's also getting older and slowing down himself. To me he looked gaunt, weak, and weathered at different points during the Kessler fight. Of course Kessler helped create that reflection, no doubt.. But it was there. Could that have been weight or some mistake? We'll see.

Footwork is going to be a killer.
