I wonder if he has any idea of the ability of Joe Calzaghe?
Joe isn't some blown up 147 or 154 fighter.(Oscar,Tito &Winky)
He isn't a mediocre inactive Antonio Tarver or green like Taylor was.
Calzaghe is a big guy with Skill and speed in fact apart from RJJ Bernard hasn't seen the likes of Calzaghe before in his entire career.
RJJ beat him injured too.
Not many fighters will have and to top it off he is a southpaw.
Bernard says he has beaten every southpaw he has met....but Calzaghe has beaten every Orthodox fighter and southpaw he has met.
Bernard disregards Cazlaghes opposition but the truth is people like Kessler , Reid (prime) , Eubank etc would have all beaten Tito & Oscar and Taylor as well.
At the time Joe met those guys they would have beaten Hopkins as well.
In fact the only guy who Bernard has faced that might have beaten Calzaghe was RJJ.
Calzaghe would have destroyed all of Hopkins opposition that he beat and a 23 fight Taylor who he couldn't beat.
When Joe slaps Hopkins around like a Ginger step-son this weekend he still won't get any credit either because the old excuse of Borehards age will arise.
Joe will retire Hopkins.
Remember that.
