    Bernard would win one out of every four or so in my view.

    How, when Hopkins cannot get a stoppage?

    If you were fighting two featherfisted clones you can start saying 50/50 on points.

    But any fight where there is a significant diffrential in the fighters abilitys to win round, the percentages approach nearly 100.


    Imagine a Hatton - Mayweather fight where damaging punches aren't allowed. They fight one million times. Mayweather basically always wins. This is how Calzaghe - Hopkins is. Hopkins cannot hurt Calzaghe, he cannot win. Roy Jones has said the same.

    I'll laugh if Calzaghe gets caught with a flush counter in the first and he becomes gun shy for the rest of the fight.

    Game plan works to perfection for Hopkins.

    Any interest in a lovely avatar bet?

    If, in your judgement, Hopkins wins a round, you will wear an avatar of my chosing. If, in your judgement, Hopkins wins 0/12 rounds in your judgement, I will wear an avatar of your chosing.

    You know, for a month.

    A flush counter that cause a complete personality transplant? Switching Calzaghe's soul with that of Audley Harrison? That kind of magical flush ****ing counter?

    No, you won't be laughing will you?

    That's why i said i would laugh.

    But did it ever enter your mind that if Hopkins continues to time Calzaghe perfectly and catches the guy coming in flush on a regular basis that it will slow down his workrate considerably?

    Hopkins would need arms 2 meters long to counter Joe Calzaghe on a regular basis.

    There is still a month to go.

    We will negotiate something fairer for you in the future.

    Yeah ok, Calzaghe jumps in and out of spots. And Hopkins has studied Calzaghe and i'm sure he will have a plan to catch Calzaghe coming in.

    Well, see.
