I'm sorry but the more i watch Calzaghe, the more i see weaknesses.

If he fought by the textbook he wouldn't have achieved half he has, it's not conventional but it works for him. He has taken big right hands many a time but none have stopped him yet.

 

You aren't looking closely at joe's feet. He only squares his shoulders up and fires w/ both hands when his opponent is on the backfoot. To set that up, he fires an accurate double and triple jab, or he feints effectively to get his opponent off timing then comes in. He's very good at it.
Listen, you've been listening to these calzaghe hating morons who know **** all about the science trolling this site.
Be smart. put your money on joe.
2 fighters you never bet against. mayweather and calzaghe.
they'll both retire unbeaten!
Bank it!

 

You're lying to yourself, trying to convince yourself that you aren't completely wrong and that Hopkins has a chance.

 

His hand and foot speed tend to allow him to do this

Calzaghe is 43-0, I think a lot of fighters have seen what you see, but a lot have not been able to figure Calzaghe out in the ring when they are actually in there. Saying and doing are different.
He does adapt and has left many of his opponents with nightmares in their fights. I dont think its as easy to beat Joe as above.
Cant wait for this fight

 

Thats what they dont get....most of us when bringing up the lead or counter right finding Calzaghe with regularity are not talking about knocking Joe out (tho a flash kd with the way Joe tends to fight off balance at times is NOT out of the question), its about it affecting Joe's workrate...the one thing that most people feel is his greatest advantage....yet everytime they talk about it, they talk about the power...not the accuracy, the timing on it or the fact that most never even see it coming.

:conf

 

Yeah, he has flaws like EVERY fighter. He overcomes them by his workrate, speed and angles. A true student of the game would pick them off, but Joe is smart too, he can adjust. Hopkins is the man to expose Joe's flaws. However, at 43 years of age, I'm kind of weary.

 

Hopkins will bring angles. Kessler was a sitting duck to those punches, Calzaghe is gonna get frustrated a bit with the style Hopkins brings to the table

 

I'm going to refrain from talking about this fight, but I will say this:

Come April 20th, Hopkins will have surprised a lot of people.

 

What perplexes me is some of these Calzaghe fanboys think Joe's workrate will stay the same or be better. Calzaghe's fighting at a NEW weight and is older then he's ever been. I think Joe will pick his punches more in this fight. WHich sounding like a good plan, isn't his fight.

 

What the hell.
