    Fighting in the U.S., even with Calzaghe's overwhelming output, I think Bernard is gonna beat Joe....by close "disputed" decision.

    Hopkins will land the more telling blows(only a few per round), but Joe's output should bring home the victory.....but it wont!!

    Hopkins by "CLOSE DECISION"....

    BTW, I am cheering for JOE....but I think HOPS "takes" this one.

    The next U.K. vs. U.S.A. fight should be in Europe!!!!

    P.S. I am a Tito fan, and if Joe KO's Hops, I will use Joe as my AVATAR for one year!!!! :yep

    It will sure be an interesting night.
    Neither of them are in their physical prime, but JC is closer IMO.
    Calzaghe UD.

    I don't think Hopkins has a prayer to be honest. I am thinking that JC will end his amazing career on an unfortunate note. JC for the win via corner stoppage or tko round 10 is my prediction

    JC by Decision is my guess, hopefully he will have too much for Mary

    Getting robbed in America is not even a possibility because it will be a shutout for Calzaghe for as long as the fight lasts. Hopkins should be proud if he lasts 12 rounds with a 100% motivated top 3 P4P fighter at this ancient age. The more I think about this fight, the more I see Hopkins getting disqualified when he gets desperate after about 8 rounds.

    I think Calzaghe should have no real problem, except for the biased referee and judges.

    I see it possibly going the same as the thread starter, I just cant believe all people saying Hopkins will lose by knockout or corner stoppage, but alot people said the same when he fought Tarver too, and Trinadad back in 01, Hopkins always fights his best fights when he's the underdog it seems. I forget what poster said it, but it's so true, "Hopkins is one guy you dont want to bet against, I learned my lesson years ago".

    I like to see Hopkins win, it just seems like everything stacked against him, but I guess it was for the Tarver fight too.

    T-Smooth, Winky Wright is not Calzaghe.
    Hops would of done his homework but Joe got too many styles. Hops takes out Joes main weapon dont matter cause Joe coming back with a new weapon. How i see it, Hops gets stopped for not throwin any punches back, 7th round.
    Joe could have 1 arm tied behind his back and would still win. Look in Hops face during the press tour with Joe, he`s shittin it cause he knows he`s on a loser. He`s a worried man is ol poppy Hops.
