      Flawless, saying Hopkins would stop Calzaghe is ******ed.

      Actually your wrong, it isn't ******ed to think B-Hop would stop Calzaghe in his prime. Prime B-Hop was a beast and I just don't think ALOT of you guyz actaully seen a prime B-Hop fight...

      Therez a limit to how many right straightz you can take

            especially since calzaghe got shook up many times and knocked down. impossible lollllllllllllllllllllll. look who was gassed in the corner after rounds 10 and 11. wasnt hopkins. calzaghe was gasping for air. what a loser.

Calzaghe used to have lots of power, and Bernard would feel those shots, most definitely. Joe has never even been close to being KO'd, so rule this one out. I can't see 'Nard out-hustling a young Calzaghe. So for me, Joe wins.
              i seen calzaghe on ***** street a few times he was almost koed.. ive never seen hopkins hurt although i have seen him knocked down.. if we're talking about prime for prime i can see bhop outhustling and beating calzaghe

                These idiotz don't know what a prime B-Hop is. They've only seen B-Hop Tito and after...they need to seriously go watch his fightz before Tito. Joe could NEVER overwhelm B-Hop...a prime B-Hop would love to have Joe on the inside...B-Hop would rip him apart like he did Mercado, Atwun, Glenn, Joppy, and so on...I also see B-Hop landing that right straight at WILL...so in my opinion, for those who don't see B-Hop stopping Calzaghe THINK AGAIN

                  What troubled him in the Calzaghe fight was his lack of stamina throughout 12 rounds, Hopkins in his prime had much better stamina and would be able to maintain countering off the ropes through 12. Hopkins in his prime was more aggressive also. In the fight, when he came forward and was more aggressive he was effective.
                  B-Hop in his prime had 15 round stamina...watch the B-Hop vs Glenn Johnson...B-Hop's activity will have you amazed

                    A prime Hopkins would have put an end to Calzaghe in that first round when he had him stunned. When Bernard was peaking, i never seen anyone escape when he had them hurt. He was much faster, had much more stamina, better use of the jab and had much better use of his legs. Calzaghe's punches are too wide and his balance is too off, and that would lead to consistent hard counter punches from an accurate puncher with really good power. In fact, Mitchell has Joe hurt( with a counter right hand to be exact) but he kept throwing wide punches and wasn't precise. What would have happened if he would have straighten up his shots and took his time? Joe would have been in trouble.

                    The outcome of this fight is really not that hard to figure out. Calzaghe is not far if at all past his prime at all, and lost a split decision to a 43 year old Hopkins.

                      Where? When? I have every single JC fight on video except a couple. I don't see him being close to being KO'd in any fight, even while taking a ton of right hand bombs all night from Reid.
