      Yep. I needed proof that Hopkins had actually thrown a punch!

        Atleast Hops closed his fist and scored a KD. Joe slapped and missed.

          Well if all it took was one punch it could be good for Jones. I think the trick to beat Calzaghe is playing aggressive, pressure him and punish the body. We can't really say Zaghe isn't in shape he seems to have endurance but it can go away too. Don't forget his body can also age from the last fight to this one and that would EVEN the odds JUST A LITTLE BIT for Jones.

They figured he go a whole career never entering the states and stay at 168 forever to avoid real threats. I think he just got good actually a few years ago and has since put on some good performances I dunno MAYBE Im just proud to be an American and wanna see RJJ handle this hype machine. Les not forget Hops made Joe eat the canvas in the first round and couldnt put Kelly down with everything he landed. Joe is going down on NOV 8th. RJJ is going to make Enzo cry and wish Joe were back home sparring w/ Gary Lockett. I guess most of you didnt know Joe was a farce. Well Im telling ya. aint I?

            PS David Haye sucks too, mate.

                He landed more than Hopkins did and deservedly won the fight. All the if's and but's in the world ain't going to change that fact.

                  I agree that he beat a 43 yr old Hopkins via split D. Jones won a UD against a prime Hopkins?

                    To be honest, I am not a fan of Calzaghe or Hopkins. I respect their accomplishments but I don't enjoy their styles. I just thought Calzaghe beat Hopkins fair and square and I'm more than a little bit bored with people just insulting fighters instead of making any real contribution to the forums.

                      Hopkins was nowhere near his prime when he fought Jones. That's just ridiculous. Hopkins peaked much later in his career
