Calzaghe Calling Out Hopkins?

[El Jesus]

I dont know how anyone could easily dismiss Bernard Hopkins in a fight with Joe but when I say Joe would have a good chance at beating Nard worse then he has ever been beaten that is not really how it sounds...

Keep in mind his two losses to Taylor could have gone either way and his fight with Jones w as a close borefest (forget his 1st fight)...

Joe would have a much tougher time catching Nard clean no doubt about it but the shear 12 round volume that Calzaghe would throw at Hopkins would be tough to deal with at his age.

The 12 round pace that Joe fought Lacy at was simply incredible...can anyone name another fighter that displayed that kind of fighting shape? When is the last time a fighter used his legs for 12 rounds all the while slugging it out?

Lacy gave Joe a target while doing almost nothing in return, Lacy just stood there and took a beating, yea he used his legs..but its not like Lacy didint make it easy for him, Lacy looked out of the fight by round 2 anyway. Hopkins has a way of not only intimidating his competition, but he also has a way of taking away your best punches, whatever you think your gonna do often times just doesnt work, or work as well as you planned. So well see.

Calzaghe would take Hopkins at this point. It would be great money fight for Bernard though.

Rockin'

Joe ? HaHa yeah

When joe beats sombody other than lacy who can box like glen johnson then He can talk him beating ex I really dont see it because benard would slow do the pace of the fight and break him down then knock him out so stop with the retart talk Joe hasnt fought anybody on Bhop level yet so when this dude stop geting injured well see!!

Everytime Juan Diaz fights

its up to B-HOP if he will accept the fight coz he said that the tarver fight would be his last but if it offers like 20mil damn b-hop will surely fight JC or maybe RJJ would be a bigger payday for him rather than fightin JC..

[DLT]

I don't think Hopkins could ever have beaten Calzaghe and definetely not now. Though if he did beat JC that would write some serious pages in the history books.

You must be the biggest Calzaghe homer in the world if you think this. You also must be very young and havent got to see a prime Hopkins when you were really knowlegable about the sport. This Hopkins you see now is nothing compared to the guy who fought 5 to 10 years ago.

That Hopkins would kill Calzaghe. Joe would be lucky to win a round. All you know about is the counter punching Hopkins. Go watch some of his old tapes when he didnt know what the word "counter" punch meant. He would bring the fight to you from round 1 through round 12 and would rough you up bad. Go watch his fights with Keith Holmes and anything before.

That Hopkins was on a whole different level then anything Calzaghe could bring

[GunStar]

Calzaghe will be an easy fight for Hopkins today, Calzaghe would've had a chance against the Hopkins of 12 years ago.

The Hopkins from 35-41 will beat any version of Calzaghe. Hopkins is a much better boxer in the last 6 years, noway I see him losing to Calzaghe.

[willjoes]

joe beating b hop at any point in his carreer is just a laughable. B-hop over joe every day of the week and twice on sunday. this guy joe is good but not that good.
PS. Real boxing fans knew that lacy had a punchers chance at best.

[SHB]

Real boxing fans seem to have changed their tune since the 12 round beating their boy Lacy took.

My money would be on a Calzaghe UD by about 4 rounds. A defeat wouldn't harm Hopkins' legacy one iota either.

[The Raging Bull]

I seriously dont see how hopkins can win this fight. He wont even be able to catch calzaghe and if he does calzaghe will just land a flurry on him. Hopkins will probably duck this fight.
