    But what about the judges, we all know just how dodgy they can be in the states? If Joe doesnt completly dominate a round, you know they will give it to Ol Bernie.

    Joe by very easy, very wide UD

    Not even the most biased judges are going to be able to save Mary

    As good as Joe is I still dont think he will be able to fight his fight. I am sure that Joe will be dancing to Bernards beat and if this happens the fight will be tight.

    Im not counting out Bhop for a win even at this age.

    What exactly makes you think that Hopkins is better at forcing his kind of fight onto his opponent? His fights against Winky or Taylor??? Hopkins has this reputation of being the king of ring smarts, but shouldn't the Taylor fights put a dent in that reputation? Joe will never ive a fight away against a less skilled opponent.

    Immature, I expect better from a fan of such a good boxer. Next you will be using SMS text language.

    It amazes the level of **** some folks say, I spend much of my life admiring American fighters, its a shame that the same respect shown isnt returned. Joe will win. I think Bernie was and is a class act, but objectively, he is in trouble regarding Joe.

    No WAY in hell Hopkins beats Calzaghe. You don't win fights by throwing 10 punches per round and starting to fight in the 6th round like he did against Taylor. I wish PopShotkins would just ****ing retire and save the world from having to watch another one of his shitty fights.

    Prime for prime, Hopkins all the way.

    But nowadays Hopkins isn't busy enough to win a decision, and he isn't powerful enough to stop Joe.

    Calzaghe would win this, prime or not. The only difference is now it goes from being a closer fight to being an outclassing.

    Joe will box. Really, that's all there is to it. Joe won't come in with a strategy -- that's why he wins -- because he adapts to his opponent's style in the ring.

    Calzaghe UD.

    I'll say it, I hate Calzaghe and I hate his stupid fans even more, with those ridiculous hometown stoppages, but face the facts, Hopkins is miles out of his league. All he is going to try to do is fight dirty and he's gonna lose and lose real real bad.

    too many british fans writing off Hopkins. You dont write off Bernard Hopkins, even if he's 120.
