    Best ****ing logic ever

      Did you watch the Quitana-Williams fight........a highly skilled boxer can turn workrate into shyt...Calzaghe will be eating right hand bombs until the ref stops it.

        Their styles are very different.

          I think some of Calzaghes punches are pretty effective and Bernard is just not active enough I mean I broke it down like this for someone else,

          In the Calzaghe/Kessler fight Calzaghe threw 1010 punches and that is 327 less punches then Hopkins threw in his last three of his last 4 fights!!!!

          Calzaghe/Kessler Calzaghe throws 1010

          Hopkins/Wright Hopkins throws 640

          Hopkins/Tarylor Hopkins throws 326

          Hopkins/Taylor Hopkins throws 371.

          He better throw more then 500 punches if the fight goes 12 and Hopkins wants to win!!!!

            That sounds about right. Calzaghe may not be incredibly effective or hurt Hopkins too bad, but I think all that work will win him rounds, which is why I think he'll get away with a decision.

              Well I don't like Calzaghe but look, the mu****as UNDEFEATED so it's been effective to a point.

                Hold on, so Hopkins has ONE stoppage in his last EIGHT fights, but he's going to stop IRON chinned Calzaghe?

                    This is exactly what happened.
