    Jones might be saying this to fire Hopkins up.

    wow it is so funny to see people doubt hopkins all the time. Do you guys realize how many fighters go into a fight with Bernard thinking they are gonna box his face off. I mean the guy has not even been hit with a good punch in years. It will be a good fight. I just wish some of the Joe fans would use a little logic. If you guys think JOe is knocking Hopkins out you are on crack. Just remember ol joe had a hard time with Bika.Just think about it.

    This guys right.

    I think Calzaghe will win but on the basis of his age, I think prime for prime Hopkins comes out on top.

    Why doesnt BHop get the respect he deserves? Wins over Tarver, Hoya, Tito, Winky. Is it the size issue?

    BHop is a bonafide legend but can he deal with 1000+ 'slaps' from Calzaghe? Roughly how many punches does Bhop throw per fight? 300? 400? It's Calzaghe's workrate that makes this a likely mismatch.

    Calzaghe by wide decision with BHop finally looking his age in this one.

    I like Hopkins and Joe. But I just don't see Hopkins out pointing Calzaghe. At 175, we don't even know how hard Joe will be able to hit to go along with his speed.

    Jones is about the same size as Trinidad. How many opponents did Tommy Hearns beat who were as big or bigger than him? What about Wlad Klitscho? I could go on. Nard's game is about skill and intelligence, not power and strength. So him beating guys who are an inch or two smaller than him does not take away from his accomplishments. Tito was the favorite going into that fight with Nard. Nard was also in his mid 30's while Tito was 30 himself.
