    Please. You can be sure Hopkins will win at least 2 rounds. Hopkins has never been dominated in such a fashion (OK maybe RJJ did it but that's it!) and even at his old age, I still don't see it happening. The man knows all the dirty tricks. He will frustrate Joe at some point in the fight.

    Bernard has way too much veteran craftiness to let Joe win 10 rounds to 2.. it's not gonna happen!

    What will you say when Joe shuts him out and stops him? That Hopkins was shot and I'll say 'I agree, exactly'.:yep

    Hopkins will not legitimately win a single round, he may be gifted one or two...but no way he can win a single round.

    Nopes . . . Calzaghe is over HYPED . . . that's the sad truth.

    JC via T/KO or Bhops via decission. I'm picking the latter.

    Amsterdam I respect you as a poster but to think that Calzaghe will KO Hopkins when he doesn't even have KO power anymore is foolish. Do you actually think Hopkins will come to into the ring and just lay down? Hopkins is probably one of the most mentally tough fighters in the game. He also has an iron jaw a great counter puncher and a savvy vet. He will give Calzaghe all he can handle and only a fool would think otherwise. This is a pick em fight with both having a great chance to win.

    Decent odds are only relevant where there is a likelyhood of a KO. Whether a KO happens or not, there is a little luck involved.

    Betting on Hopkins, you are betting on Calzaghe having heart problems during the fight, or his freakish goings on in training.

    Unless these 1 in a billion incidents occurs, Hopkins 100% cannot win.

    You would be better off playing the lottery.

    If Calzaghe turned up in the form he was in against Bika and Hopkins boxed absolutely perfectly, I still cannot envisage a Hopkins win.

    Just put your money on Joe at 1/2.

    Are we like in the "Just kidding game?"

    When do people come out and say, "Hey, i was just joking?"
