Calzaghe is the best P4P fighter right now. He is in his prime and has too much for Hopkins. Hopkins will be dominated for the first time in over a decade.
Hopkins was dominated by RJJ. Hopkins didn't do anything in that fight. Calzaghe is at his peak while Hopkins has been on the decline. Calzaghe is underrated probably because he is Euro, but I can't see anyone around his division beating him. He is the complete package.
I am not to sure about jc ruling hopkins I guess this will be jc biggest test. Do not forget B hop is old master and has plenty of tricks. I just do not see b hop being dominated by Jc
JC is better than Taylor in every category and Hopkins had a extremely difficult time with Taylor. B Hop may be an Old Master but JC is a Young one.
I don't think anyone will dominate Hopkins, but the 2 guys that could do it are Calzaghe and Bad Chad.
You may be surprised at how easy Hopkins will hit JC with those straight, lead rights. Calzaghe will be too busy and land too many more punches for Hopkins though and he'll win, 116-112.
Agreed, here are the scores: Judge: Al DeVito 112-116 | Judge: Eugene Grant 112-116 | Judge: Lynne Carter 112-116 Roy won 8-4 and thats how much JC will win by, in my opinion.
I think this will be a great fight some of the doubts I have about JC. how WILL HE COPE AWAY FROM HOME AGAINST A FIGHTER WITH A BIGGER NAME THAN HIM . I know b hop got soundly beaten by rjj but imo Jc is no roy jones style wise.
All B-Hop has to do is neutralize the punch output of Calzaghe and throw alot of punches himself. If he can do that, I think he may be able to pull out a W, maybe.
Biggest Jones fan here. And no, he didn't dominate Hopkins. Neither looked like what they would 2-3 years later. And Calzaghe is NOT prime.
