    Enzo Mac is a good sparring partner, he's got the strength, size, everything. But can he thorougly simulate an experienced fighter like Bernard. I hope Joe and Enzo(his father) are watching Hopkins tapes, over and over. They will need it.
    Saiko Bika is a dirty fighter, and he could very well simulate some of Hopkins tricks :bbb

    Thank you for the first part.

    Of course its going to be a dirty fight. What Hopkins fight isnt? Thats how he has made his career....being a master at hiding his filth from the ref. This fight will be no different.

    I love Joe...one of my favorite all time fighters. But every one of his weaknesses play right into Hopkins strengths. I could break it down now, but Im waiting until close to fight time (probably the week of) to make a LLLLLOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGG ass post explaining why.

    And like you said, Hopkins is a VERY smart man. He would not take this fight if it was going to be a blowout.

    Regardless of the outcome, the Calzaghe fanatics are going to be VERY surprised at how tough this fight will be for him.

    Sparring Enzo to get ready for Bernard?

    Thats like playing the Celtics in a pickup basketball game to get ready for the Patriots in the Super Bowl. They fight NOTHING alike. Their styles are opposite. Their strengths are opposite. Hell, even their weaknesses are opposite.

    Bad move.
