    I think all posters should watch that tarver fight - hopkins was just brilliant especially at the age he is - I was dissapointed though with the winky fight - though winky was overweight & hopkins looked too old to be there - I think if joe can get over the heat of vegas & trains better than the kessler fight then we could well see hopkins on his ass - the only problem joe has is hopkins dirty tactics headbutts elbows & kneeing in the bollocks..

    Joe hasn't really shown us that he is an intelligent fighter. When it comes to his skill we hadn't seen it all. The Lacy and Kessler fights showed us unbelievable skill and intelligence.

    X will again call upon Joe to use superior intelligence to decipher X. Joe has the talent and tools, of this I have NO doubt but does he have the intelligence.

    I'm hoping he'll box and brawl, out speed X with pot shotting but let the hands go to win rounds decisively.

    Time for Joe to seal his legacy. I'm hyped.

    Time for Joe to become the man in his second division.

    Then he Joe can beat on Woods as a going away fight in the UK. Then its all done and dusted for him. No more fights needed. I really hope he does Britain pround after he deals with X and Woods.

    I wonder if this fight will be on Sky Box Office or Setanta?

    i'm in the 'Hopkins is a boring, spoiling, fouling ****' group.

    Even in days gone by when he was more active and willing to trade, he was a dirty *******. See the Echols fights.

    not bothered about this fight at all.

    Setanta for sure which is a shame as it means less hype.

    They have been stating on their website when mentioning Sport and specificially boxing, we have ... and ... plus Joe Calzaghes next big fight.

    It is one of Setanta's main selling points. This obviously could effect whether or not we get a 24/7 show here in the UK...

    Although Box Office costs 15 quid I'd much prefer to pay that than watch it on Setanta. The presentation on Sky is so much better and I'd happily pay for that for a big fight.

    if you think sky is good then u should watch HBO - the picture is in HD + commentators & eveything else just shits on Sen&sky. when ever there is a big fight ill always watch twice once on shitty sentata/ sky then ill get the hbo on download to watch next day !!! the difference is just amazing

    as for 24/7 - it was done via hbo so i reckon we could therefore be getting on sentanta if they do 1.. they have done a simnilar 24/7 for the upcoming trinidad fight.
