    In case you weren't aware, the answer to that riddle is "No."

    What makes a good lot of the folks on here think Calzaghe will be able to accomplish a different outcome?

    OF COURSE! Jones, Trinidad, Wright, Hoya, Taylor.. all bums!!

    Bika, and Manfredo on the other hand, those are the true warriors.

    Styles make fights. Joe Frazier was steamrolled by George Foreman, yet was competitive in every other fight in his career, including a well past his prime rematch with Foreman.

    Just because Hopkins has also been in contention, it doesn't mean he will be against Calzaghe.

    I think Calzaghe will win either 8-4, 9-3 or 10-2, by the way. I imagine all rounds will be fairly competitive, with Calzaghe nipping them on better workrate.

    Yeah, you need to go on, because otherwise you sound foolish. Hopkins has fought the best of the best in his career (maybe you've heard of a guy named Roy Jones?) and has never looked bad against any of them. You are not seriously going to tell me you think stylistic JC has anything more to offer Hopkins than what Roy had in his prime. Hearns and foreman both had serious one-punch power. They didn't slap and pitty pat their ways to victory over bloated Contender finalists.
