    Jermain Taylor already exposed Hopkins' true level...twice. What's with all the fuss about him? This fight is gonna stink.

    RICKY HATTON: Joe will be too quick and too busy and I'm sure he'll win. His preparations have gone well and his biggest fear will be whether the referee will give him a fair deal.

    LLOYD HONEYGHAN: Hopkins is a cool customer who will give Calzaghe loads of problems. A younger Hopkins would definitely win. But age may make the difference in this fight.

    JOHNNY NELSON: Calzaghe has too much class for Hopkins. I don't think Hopkins has been quite the same in his last few fights. I think Joe will win but it won't be a pretty fight.

    ROBIN REID: Calzaghe's fighting Hopkins at the right time. Hopkins has looked rubbish in his last few fights and Joe shouldn't have too many problems with him. He will win a wide decision.

    JUNIOR WITTER: Joe's still at the top of his game, whereas Hopkins is on the slide. Calzaghe's such a classy operator I can't see him having too many problems, and he will win on points.

    GLEN JOHNSON: I think Bernard is a defensive whizz, and Joe throws punches from every different angle. I think Joe might win the fight, but he's not going to be able to land a lot of punches.

    GARY SHAW: I have all the respect in the world for Joe Calzaghe. I watched him at ringside destroy Jeff Lacy and Mikkel Kessler. In the underrated department, Calzaghe should be rated number one.

    ANTONIO TARVER: Hopkins has something left and he's always going to be a cagey fighter. He will definitely be in the fight. But it takes someone with a lot of tricks to beat Calzaghe.

    CLINTON WOODS: I think Calzaghe has the fresher factor and he is the bigger fighter really. I'm 90% sure that he will beat Hopkins at the end of the night.

    LENNOX LEWIS: Travelling is an issue for Calzaghe because he has never done it before. Some can adjust and some can't. We will see whether Joe is capable of making that adjustment or not.

    OSCAR DE LA HOYA: If there's one man who can frustrate Calzaghe and take him out of his game plan, it's Hopkins. He's patient and will wait for you all night. I feel Hopkins can pull it off.

    BUDDY McGIRT: If Calzaghe boxes him then I think he will win. But if he tries to stay in there, it could become a tough fight and Bernard will try to rough him up.

    CHARLES BREWER: Bernard will do anything and everything to win. My concern for Joe is his tendency to want to get into a fight instead of boxing. If he does that on April 19, it could leave him vulnerable.

    AMIR KHAN: Joe's work-rate will be the key. I don't think going over to the States will bother him one bit and I think he's got too much for Hopkins, whose best days might be in the past.

    To my admittedly uneducated eye Hopkins looks slow and old.

    I know, it's going to suck for you when it becomes apparent by the 5th rd that Hopkins has Joe figured out and the wheels have fallin off Joe's game plan.

    Decebal - Will be flying into LA on Thursday, picking up a car far too big for us to try and help damage the hole in the ozone above the States and driving to Vegas. We will stay there for 3 nights. We will then go on a scenic flight over the grand canyon before hitting the casinos, bars and clubs whilst trying to sell the spare ticket I have left. More of the same in the remaining time.

    Oh and we'll be going to some arena to watch an American legend get demolished.
