Does anyone disagree that Hopkins will run all night....

[Famoso Matador]

If Hopkins has it his way this will be the worst fight we will see all year, i really hope Calzaghe smashes him.

[tyson]

He certainly was in this clip.

Exactly. Hopkins is no runner.

A composed video clip from one fight, repeating the same sequence over and over, does not make Hopkins a runner.

I'm not sure I agree. I think Hopkins has very good stamina. On the other hand, with all the holding during the Wright fight, I'm not so sure about that either. Holding every 16.38 seconds on average throughout the entire fight? That's really bizarre, and maybe suggests his stamina isn't as good as I think it is.

132 clinches over 12 rounds @ 180 seconds per round = 16.36 seconds between each clinch.

Great stat.

It might be more of this if Hopkins is allowed to do it. Hopkins only chance IMO is to disrupt Joes rythm, rough him up on the inside and use all the dirty stuff he can get away with. Bernhard MUST break Calzaghes rythm with quick counters especially the right hand lead.

Easier said than done I know, and I dont think he can do it enough.

Well with Wright he had to get him out of his gameplan and disrupt him. Smear all over him so Wright's jab couldn't land. Make it a tough physical fight for Wright. Stuff like that.

Hopkins isn't a runner (minus the Eastman fight...) though.

hopkins will use a lot of effective movement in this fight.

[Pullcounter]

Fall miles behind and then try by that time he is puffing like an old steam train.

u never know... hopkins didn't run against tarver

Yeah Hatton hugs all the time and is a big hugging cheat. I hate the Hugman Hatton the cheat. Oh wait, Hopkins? Ah that's ring smarts.

Hopkins will run throw the right then hold fall behind try to mix it inside but Joe will have too much a late stoppage or big UD Calzaghe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't really see people saying this. Hatton roughs up people a lot more then Hopkins on the inside though like hitting them low and on the head.

In defense though, he has to more because he has shorter arms and it's harder to get a good shot. Hopkins likes to headbutt and wrestle you on the inside/tie you up after getting a good couple clean shots.

[ИATAS]

He aint gonna be runnin from Joe. No way
