IS Hopkins too old to beat the biggest Conman in boxing?

hopkins was very fresh finishing the wright fight last time out, which is why this will be a hard fight for calzaghe.

hopkins does not throw a lot of punches because he is a saftey first fighter , who refuses to take chances to score with a punch , thats why his workrate is low and not because he is to old or does not have the stamina.

 

Awww, the Euro-haters are getting cold feet :yep

 

nobhead

 

Still, it does seem like you're crying it in. :good


"Hopkins by murder" The only thing he's murdered in the past six years is entertainment.

 

Wow, did B-Hop leave 160lbs while in his 30s? Thought not.....

 

man alright he may be Warren based fighter and he may not have fought at the level he should have done if he was to be classed a legend, but the guy has skills, he's a superb boxer, and in all fairness everyone knows Hopkins ducked Joe 6 years ago, its knowledge. f**king hate people on this site who dont give boxers who work there whole life to try and be successful the full credit they deserve.

 

Calzaghe agreed a fight with Hopkins about 5 years ago.....and then Hopkins pulled out. :deal

 

How many fights has Calzaghe pulled out of since? Before now he's been content with being a big fish in a very small pond. Five years ago he wasn't in a position to dictate where a fight happened with any of our name fighters. Five years ago the UK fans as a whole didn't give two shits about Calzaghe. It wasn't until he beat an overhyped US fighter in Lacy that all these rabid Calzaghe fans started popping up. :deal

 

He would have been 38 at the time.

 

Hopkins threw more punches than 35 years old Wright in his last fight and was the fresher of the two at the end.

Age will not be a factor.

I suspect some Calzaghe fans will complain that Joe was not at his natural weight after the fight. Because Bernard will manhandle him big time in there.
