Mayweather exposes Hatton: Next up, Hopkins shall expose Calzaghe!

Like I said man ... we will see if Joe can handle the US spotlight ... this is his first fight in the US. He may have some fans come through, but I don't think as much as Hatton.

B-Hop is used to playing the bad guy ... used to getting boo'd ... the crowd or the atmosphere won't effect Hopkins at all.

Despite being a dickhead -- he has a decent following in the US.

 

If you are what you say you are (Joe) a superstar, then have no fear, the camera's here, and the lights are on ...

 

I tend to think the opposite when you are talking about Calz. If he does get beat by an older than dirt Bhop, then he will be exposed. The protected talk will surely come about and rightfully so.

Joe hasn't fought anyone who has that counter punch/ power/ stylistic clash as bhop. Kessler fought joe straight up, no doubt. But Kessler eventually fit right into Joe's master plan. I can't see that happening to Bhop b/c he's not afraid to **** people off with an ugly fight. Kess is kinda a crowd pleaser, if you will.

Not being able to handle the US limelight:good 100% agree. Hostile crowds will be something new for Joe since he has had the homefield advantage his whole career.

BHOP will take Joe to the gutters of Philly when he fights him. Grimy ugly germy rat-infested bottom of the barrel. Joe hasn't seen that in the ring... especially from a boxing dinosaur.

 

good points D

I agree with all you're saying ... I ruled out the protection factor but that will be topic of discussion if he loses ... he probably won't fight again - if he loses.

Someone wrote that he seemed bothered by the reception that Enzo was getting in his fight with Haye.

He can't handle the hostile crowd and I noticed that the Hopkins is inside his head.

He's not going to go in there thinking he's the favorite -- He's going show B-Hop alot of respect as if B-Hop is his idol.

 

It's inevitable that this will not happen

he's fought in hostile enviroments before in england, against english fighters when the crowds were dead against him.

there will be brits out there supporting him anyway and when was the last time you saw a rowdy american crowd in vegas? it's like a ****ing morgue there most of the time.

 

inevitable? hahaha. its about as inevitable as audely harrison beating wladimir klitschko by KO after 5 seconds of round one. thats how inevitable and likely it is

 

:tired

 

Competition? How on earth?

 

There is only 1 way in which Hopkins could expose Calzaghe and that is...

...if Calzaghe KOs Hopkins causing him to fall forward and then in a desperate attempt to not hit the canvas face first he reached out for something to grab on to, and ends up catching Joe's shorts which result in him pulling them down and exposing Joe.

Other than that I can see no other way of Joe being exposed.
