I think Calzaghe would administer a 'Grade A' beating to Hopkins...

    Maybe a win on points..But I dont see nobody putting a hurting on Hopkins. Hopkins is way too crafty to be beaten decisively. I see Calzaghe landing more shots and Hopkins not being able to keep pace.

    Calzaghe will chase him and Hopkins will run. Not much chance of a serious beating.

    You're exactly right. I will fear for Bernard's long-term health on fight day. I'm serious.

    Points yes, but Joe would seriously beat him down. It would be a serious disaster for Bernard.

    Anyone who thinks Hop could beat Joe are seriously delusional, bias againts out of America fighters etc etc.

    The ''white guy'' would demolish him.

    Joe is the real deal. Hopkins will go out the same way Lacy did. What an embarrassing way to end a career.

    Logic dictates, that in coming to conclusions, you go by the past data, and past data shows that Hopkins has never been beat decisively.... But by judging by your post and childish behavior, I see you dont use logic. So I can understand how you came to that conclusion:hi:

    No way would Hopkins go out like that.

    Lacy still had heart when JC was beating him and never ran. Hopkins whole career is built on him running.

    I think if they fought someone should keep a time check on Hopkins and see if he manages to do a 3 minute mile.

    If Winky couldn't stop Bernard, Joe cant.

    I was damn certain Winky would TKO him.

    Hopkins has never faced anything like the combination of speed, workrate, awkward angles, chin, stamina and will that Calzaghe brings to the table. Sure, he fought the super - talented RJJ, but RJJ was happy to simply win, he wasn't nearly as relentless as Calzaghe. It could very well be a brutal beatdown. Kessler was competitive because of his power and youth, attributes that Hopkins doesn't have. Hopkins cannot hurt Calzaghe. He cannot keep up with his pace and punch volume. As a counterpuncher, he would have a whole new experience with someone who can keep punching longer than anyone else in boxing. It could indeed be very one - sided.
