    Hops is more of a strategist now days and Joe is too crafty in his own right for Hops to pull any of that Old Skool **** that he did on Tarver....but he is still Old Skool enough to make Joe look ordinary...**** it I reckon it will be 'at best' an average fight with a close decision either way.....

    Hopkins' clinching against Winky made Ricky Hatton and John Ruiz blush.

    Hopkins/Wright wasn't very exciting, but it wasn't as boring as people claim. Hopkins clinched too much and winky complained too much. boring, but not that boring.

    doesnt it suck that even though in your mind it is known that this might be worse than Oscar/Mayweather but still you have that feeling in your gut that maybe...just maybe its gonna be a hella of a fight?

    People said the same thing about Hopkins-Tarver and it turned out to be a very good fight.

    Hopkins best chance to survive lies in making the fight ugly. Since Hopkins is a smart boxer, this is most likely what is going to happen...

    Unless Calzaghe truely shines...
