Hopkins is going to Beat Joe up...and pretty badly.

Kessler is OVER.....RATED!!!!

His timing is not that good....its his mechanics and accuracy that are good. Hopkins timing is amazing. This isnt even arguable.

 

If I were fighting Manny, Moe and Jack most of the time in my backyard, I might be undefeated as well:deal

Not dissing Calzaghe, he is the true champ of his division and that is rare these days. But it aint like he's been fighing a murderer's row his whole career.

 

I agree. Hopkins' timing is impeccable.

 

B-HOP will look foolish in there, right now, kessler is twice the fighter bernard is,(and im a X fan) and look what Joe C did to kessler.

 

Kessler is a very good fighter, but he is NOT faster than BHOP and BHOP has better timing, footwork, and defense. No comparison.

 

Styelwise Bhop poses issue's for Joe, but Joe poses more even for Bhop, he's a stylistic nightmare for Bhop with his in and out movement and workrate.

He doesn't make enough mistakes that he can't get away with because of his insane footspeed.

You talk like Bhop is in his prime. Kessler's speed and reflexes are well beyond the current Hopkins'.

Joe's a brilliant fighter and multi-dimensional, Kessler is not a defensive fighter, he's a boxer puncher, but he does have a solid defence and doesn't get tagged with anything stupid like a Jermain Taylor or Kelly Pavlik does.:yep

Andrade landed all of 90 punches out of 600-700 thrown, and Kessler was really laying into him with every combination he had, he was timing 4 shot combination's on Andrade's dome and didn't get tired even under pressure.

Bhop is a better counter puncher, no doubt, but with faded timing and faded reflexes he won't counter Joe as effectively as Kessler did.

He also doesn't have Kessler's power.

Did you know that Joe didn't even have sparring in preparation for the fight and almost had a nervous breakdown over personal problems the night before?

That was no 100% focused and trained Joe Calzaghe.

 

guy couldnt even out work jermaine taylor....

 

But this is not a PRIME HOPKINS, this is a SHOT HOPKINS.

Big difference.:yep

 

I hope Calzaghe wins 12 rounds on Bhop lol, Just to prove to everyone how unbelievable Calzaghe is. They are nearly the same age, say what you want...But if he shuts Hopkins out like that it would be embarrassing.

 

I doubt you're a B-hop fan. If you were, you wouldn't say that Calzaghe will make B-Hop look foolish because no one makes B-Hop look foolish.

 

Ah, but JT has POWER. Joe C doesn't. That's the difference.

 

He out worked Winky Wright, something that Taylor could not do either.

 

He's gonna have alot more problems after his execution date!:yep

 

Joe hits harder than Taylor does. Taylor couldn't put away Ouma in a serious accumulation of his best shots, that's a show right there.

Don't be fooled by Pavlik almost getting stopped, that's just a showing of Pavlik's vulnerabilities.

 

Who has Joe C put away recently??
