    And I'll keep saying: it was Bernard's own fault. he could have taken the chance when he was 36, but he didn't, so Joe has no choice but to beat him when he's 43. Tough ****.

    "Too old" will never be a legit excuse.

    Hopkins is a legend...at MW. He's considerably slower now. Will Calzaghe be slower too at 175? If the answer is no, Hopkins will be in trouble.

    If Eubank's passport said "USA" on it, then yeah, he'd be considered a legend, sadly he's the wrong nationality, so therefore **** :patsch

    I know people probably see me as a "biased" Joe fan, and that's fine with me, but I honestly think Calzaghe will be better at 175.

    * Doesn't have to starve himself to make 168
    * Added power
    * No loss in speed
    * Closer to Joe's natural weight, which is 14 stone (196 lbs.)

    Calzaghe also says he's lost nothing, only gained a little more power, and I trust what he says on this one. Calzaghe @ 175 = beast.

    Yep, same prediction as you. I guess a UD is the "obvious" prediction, but I'll go as far as saying a stoppage isn't completely out of the question either.

    All I can say is I can't wait for this one. I honestly think Joe will clown him.

    PS: What do you think of Chris broderick, Megadeth's new guitarist? He's a great player.

    Over here, yes he is, as is Nigel Benn.

    Nothing idiotic about it.

    Now I am convinced BHop is going to be KOd by JC even if Joes hands break in the process. He will brutally end Hopkins career.
