    Taken today.
    I believe that Calzaghe has underestimated Hopkins. The difference
    in training regime is shown here: Hopkins is huge (frame, shoulders) and vanishes Calzaghe.
    Not studyng tapes of the opponent? are you serious?
    Age is not a factor, not at least speaking of Hopkins. I really
    had some hope in Calzaghe, but Hopkins has won all the battles
    (mental, strategic, preparation). Case closed.
    (Some miracle perhaps?)

    You have a strange writing style.
    Not bad,just odd.
    Anyway,yes Hops does look broader,but i think he works on that stuff with shilestone,whereas Joe is less preoccupied with this aspect.
    Youre writing off Joe based on some vague stuff here in my opinion:good

    Size will not be a factor in this fight..

    Calzaghe just needs to stay focused and he'll win !

    Kessler and Lacy both looked bigger than Calzaghe.

    "Look at the skinny boy" people said. :D

    Should the people picking Hopkins over Calzaghe even be considered as being conscious entities?

    Didn't everyone say Hatton had won the mental battle and Floyd looked nervous.

    Size means jack. On another point Warren is like a little ****ing leprechaun, poking his little head up in pictures all of the time.
     
  11. THis is boxing not a bodybuilding contest:patsch Calzaghe will be at 175, thicker, bigger and will carry more power and strength than he did at 168, Calzaghe 7-8 years younger will out work Hops plain and simple, Hops was holding light hitting Winky Wright so much in that fight i thought he was going to try and Make Love to him, Hops can't fight a full 3 minute round, and it will show bad on Sat, as long as Cortez dosen't allow him to get away with any BULL****..
     
  12. Word! :good

    Oh and being shorter helps Joe on the inside and well all know how much quicker he is in the outside! Come to think of it, that kinda puts Hopper up **** creek! :D

    This is Bernard Hopkins, not some built up Euro-dudes or fake Tyson wannabe small guy.
    This is a living legend he's meeting and I'm sure by now Joe is starting to realize the difference.

    Mental battles are for **** 99% of the time.

    Mind you, Hopkins is in and around the 1%.

    Hopkin's shoulders and head look big. But his bone structure might be smaller elsewhere. I've seen in a TOT he's got 6" wrists, that's skinny as ****.
