    BHop has nothing to lose. He can always play the age card if he gets beat and his legacy is safe.

    Calzaghe easy victory, but no recognition.

    If Hopkins wins, I would like to see him give Robert Allen a rematch.

    So are you saying he is not past his prime? Have you watched him fight the last 5 years? Did you see the fight against Winky? Have you notice the decline in his energy level? That was present in the Taylor fight years ago. If you can't notice then things then look at the punch stats...they are steadily dropping...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that that the guy is getting old. Couple those facts along with the fact that he is a 43 year old middleweight/lightheavy and common sense tells you he is old. He may not be shot but he is an old fighter. Thats like sayin Holyfield is not old...

    I hate when people say Calzaghe doesnt hit hard. Did you see lacy's face after the fight? Gruesome to say the least. No to mention Joe will be one of the fastest fighters hopkins has EVER faced. Save for Roy.

    That sound like a prediction and a face-saving excuse rolled into one.

    That is already official right now . . . what's your problem? You don't call a 43 years old fighter old?

    But despite that . . . I'm giving him 50/50 chance to win. :yep
