    All this talk about countering 6 punch combos??? wtf..

    If you counter the first punch effectively then they aint gonna be no other 5 punches...

    This fight could be a classic.... styles make fights and we have two very different styles, but at the same time bhop nullifies his opponents making his fights appear boring...

      We seem to have our wires crossed about a few things. I wasn't suggesting that Joe should just throw jabs and straights, I think he will work quickly, use his movement and land accurate, hard shots, sometimes slug and trade toe to toe, counter, flurry, hit Bernard from angles he never even knew existed. The whole works. What I was saying earlier is Joe won't come out wildly swinging, like someone suggested he would.

      Sorry for replying to this late, I forgot heh.

      Anyway, Trinidad is smaller then Hopkins, but he still fit in at Middleweight, so when people say "He was just a blown up welterweight" it's wrong because Trinidad fit perfectly at Middleweight. And Tito didn't look that puny in a ring ring with Hopkins, but I'm just saying is that people shouldn't degrade Hopkins for this win because in reality, it's a very good win.

      And yeah, but do you think it would be smart for Calzaghe to trade with Hopkins when he might not be used to the weight? I can see how people have Calzaghe winning (in a close fight of course, not a blowout) and that plan makes sense, though I'm not sure if he should risk trading with Hopkins.
