Joe wants nothing to do with Bernard after narrowly escaping the first time, and I can't say I blame him. His '0' is not safe around "The Executioner".
The Calzaghe-Jones fight made Hopkins look good. It showed Hopkins can make a top-notch fighter look like an amateur. It showed Hopkins is a very smart fighter which prompted Calzaghe to not throw so many punches. Jones who is faster couldn't counter Calzaghe effectively like Hopkins did. Calzaghe did not put his hand down as much for Hopkins because he knew that if he did he would be in some deep ****. Calzaghe dodge all of Roys combinations. Id be glad to see Calzaghe-Hopkins II before either of them call it quits.
Well it could be said Hopkins might be the most technically gifted old fighter. And by old I mean over 40. All the others like Foreman and Holmes relied mostly on power they still had.
Honestly Hopkins didnt look good against Calzaghe. All he did was back up, play it safe, clinch, headbutt and fake a low blow when he was tired. It was just an ugly fight in which no one looked good.
