    Calzaghe is a long reigning champion with speed and throws alot of punches ... Whats the difference?

    Eubank had great skill, actually on of tyhe best all round boxers in my lifetime.


    Calzaghe can also get out of dodge after he throws, Hopkins has to try and stop that, plus Calzaghe also spolis his opponents boxing like Hopkins.

    At Light Heavy, Hopkins has beat Winky Wright and a very lazy post Rocky Tarver, this is a huge step up for Hopkins fighting Calzaghe considering and it will mean **** if he has the better physique when Calzaghe will be better conditioned.

    I already respect Joe and i'm not disrespecting Joe by saying that I don't think he's going to beat B-Hop.

    Cal fans are the ones who's fearful because they're putting everything into their prediction and they're favorite fighter.

    I'm amazed that these guys are such die hard fans yet can't explain to me how Calzaghe is going to win.

    All they say is that he's fast and he throws alot of punches ...

    No one can explain from a boxing point of view ...

    lol, Why do you assume Im a Calzaghe fan, its common sense Calzaghe wins this one, this was a 50-50 fight six/seven years ago but now the odds areway in Calzaghe's favour.
