    Seems to me Calzaghe is doing a good job making Hopkins think he's gotten into his head.

    Not more than he should - if you ask me. He is aware of Hopkins tricks, and responds accordingly.

    This is not related to what will happen once the bell rings.

    Calzaghe (and his dad) should stop thinking about what Hops will do out of the ring, and have themselves FIRMLY focussed on whats going to happen IN the ring.

    Never had so much anticipation on a fight that's going to be soooo boring.

    I don't know if Calzaghe is WORRIED about the weigh in as much as he's tossing it out there. You gotta keep an open mind to it especially if he DOES try something.

    Hopkins is one for mind games but I don't think they will work on Calzaghe.

    Oh yes, from what I've read here it is quite clear Hopkins is firmly in Joe's head. The fight is already over for Joe, he's clearly lost before it's even begun!

    What the **** has Joe said/done to make you think Hopkins is 'in his head'? You all read too much into this 'mindgame' ****. Jesus...

    I guess Hopkins saw Calzaghe's last tapes and is just thinking about how can he avoid getting hit. If Enzo wants to call him a mouse and that he and his son are to build mouse-traps, Hopkins probably doesn't care - if he doesn't grab, Calzaghe runs numbers on him ( GIF image)...Bernard should know that if he goes for it, they're not gonna TRADE - Calzaghe just unleashes loads of combos ( hooks from the floor, left uppercuts, right leads, str8 lefts down the middle, right hooks) and circles-side-steps to the right like he did with Lacy in the first 15 minutes of the fight, Hopkins doesn't get off like Lacy couldn't, and Calzaghe builds the road for a lopsided win... Hopkins is not saying Calzaghe slaps like Lacy did, Hopkins is not expecting Calzaghe to "spoil his boxing" like Kessler mentioned, Hopkins is probably focused on executing moves in the gym in order to score as Calzaghe leads onto his opponent and opens up his entire left sector - look even at the first rounds against Lacy and tell me if Bernard is not gonna hit him when they clinch ( Calzaghe's right arm around Hopkins' body and Hopkins' left arm around Calzaghe's)...

    You wait. If Hopkins tries any rough stuff at the weigh-in Calzaghe will kiss him. That would put me off trying anything!

    His Dad is getting nervous because one by one all his guys are losing. He's worried The Ring are going to take back his trainer of the year award.

    It looks like they're not taking any chances with Bradley Pryce's opponent though.
