    :huh

    No he didnt.

    8 rounds to 4...Jones. Every round Jones won was clear and easy to score....every round Hopkins won was clear and easy to score. Plus, neither man was in their respective primes.

    1. calzaghe is not in his prime.
    2. anybody saying he's the best p4p is an idiot.

    regardless, his slaps will beat hopkins.

    Clazaghe is skilled but Hopkins is the boxer with the by far greater arsenal of tools. You really don't see too many fighters that have honed their craft like Hopkins. He can do it all offensively counter punch, brawl, box, etc and defensively he's an absolute wizard.

    People need to understand what words mean. Like "dominated" for instance. Trinidad was "dominated" by Hopkins. Hopkins lost a close boxing match to RJJ, but was far from being "dominated."

    Me thinks Bernard is too old.

    Calzaghe 8-4.

    Nobody dominates B-Hop. Hopkins is like an old dog, he's tough and clever, no matter how much you beat on him he will not let go.

    Calzaghe has a great arsenal, yes, but Hopkins will find a way to neutralize it.

    I'm not sayin Calzaghe has no chance to win this one, but if he does it will be by hard-fought, close decision.

  13. Can't believe how many people are blinded by the name, you only have to analyze each fighter in the ring to know!

    Funny, I can't wait till 20th, will be hilarious watching everyone on ESB go "Joe no.1 P4P" like they do after every big name fighter wins a fight against another big name .

    It does not matter. His style and skills will be what beats Hopkins, not his resume.

    Most people who have stated that Jones dominated Hopkins probably have never seen the fight
