    He will.

    You can say what you like about Calzaghe but he has wobbled pretty much every opponent he has ever faced guys with good chins.

    He has hurt everyone he has been in the ring with. He rocked Lacy with single shots. He hurt Kessler with a single body shot. He still hits hard enough.

    Calz can ****, he chooses not to, lets face it if he breaks his hand against Hopkins he could get KO'd. He'll get his attention when he needs to.

    We'll see anyway.

      i like how a bhop fan is asking for people to be "objective" when analyzing a video of the fighter he's been trashin.

        I think Kessler might have been TKO'd if the ref hadn't stepped in during round 8. Mikkel looked hurt and he was in a mess. He's lucky.

            Watch the Lacy fight, that fight actually ment something. He didn't train as hard for Bika and Manfredo, the motivation just wasn't there.

              that was the biggest bull**** stopage ive ever seen.. he didnt land one punch.. from that other camera angle

                That video just reaffirms my belief that Hopkins will stop Calzaghe. Hopkins can walk through those crappy slaps all night. If Joe stays on his feet he's going to wish he went down the next morning!
