    10 Reasons why Calzaghe will make Hopkins look amateur and obliterate him!
    1)Joe has superior foot movement with the consequence of being able to use the ring to his advantage. He is comfortable in the centre, at the ropes or in the corner, he will turn Hopkins inside out and Hopkins will be punching into thin air.
    3)Hopkins straight right will be on of his done fall because he follows in with the head. “Dirty tactic I know;” but Calzaghe will pick him off once this happens.

    2)Greater agility of Calzaghe to duck, bob, and weave from side to side manipulates his opponents into compromising positions were they are bombarded with a barrage of scoring hits.
    3) Calzaghe will stand toe to toe, at range or attack from either side and will even go straight up the middle to get to B Hop he will also tie Hopkins up on the inside when needed, his diversity is overwhelmingly way to good!
    4)Calzaghes boxing skill alone is far more superior to B Hop.
    5)Calzaghe will not come out all guns blazing as Hopkins expects, But will come at Hopkins from every angle imaginable by working off his jab. Joe will then lay some real heavy shots into B Hop. Just ask Jeff Lacy who had some real hard uppercuts and over hand lefts smashed in to his face. Then he will mix it up with some fast confusing combinations.
    6)What a lot of people tend to forget is that B Hop has to quell the abrasiveness and work rate of Calzaghe and this is always so much harder to do. If your constantly defending what can you do? Joe does not slow as he has proved many times. When any body is being bombarded with repeated punches round after round work rate and punch output has everything to do with it.
    7)Joe has the ability to manufacture punches from any angle out of nothing. Look at his previous fights.
    8)B Hop can go on about who he has fought and who Calzaghe has not fought as much as he wants. One fact remains he has never been in the ring with an animal known as Joe Calzaghe. Stop living in the past I say.
    9)How the hell can B Hop prepare a system to beat JC when he aint got a clue how Joe is going to approach the fight.
    10)Joe Calzaghe is master class way above Hopkins by a long way. The only problem is that most Americans don’t know that yet. This is a shame because the doubters will be in for rude sharp awakening of their senses.
    Calzaghe to stop Hopkins in the 9th or 10th.

    I think it is you who does not "get it".

    It's not the number of punches thrown, but rather the number of punches landed.
    What is the difference between;

    Joe: Thrown: 2000 landed: 200 (10%)

    Hopkins: Thrown: 800 Landed: 400 (50%)

    Who wins?
    Ask Vassilly Jirov.

    I grow tired of you UFC fanatics with no knowledge of the sweet science.

    Indeed, that one was way off. lol. Holyfield beat a retired, 40+ year old Lou Savarese to get his shot at Iggy. Bhop, well we all know what he's done lately.

    Holyfield's last great effort was the rematch with Lewis in 1999. 1999!!

    After that, things began declining quickly, starting with that god-awful Ruiz trilogy. After the 3rd fight with Ruiz (Holy's best showing in the 3) things would get even WORSE!

    Woods just came across the Atlantic and tasted defeat in a bitter blowout.

    Hatton came across last year and got knocked out ...

    hmmm?

    He did look good in that one, and it was clear his shoulder was feeling somewhat better, but he can't throw punches anymore.

    It's sad!

    I wish he had retired after the Lewis rematch. That was the time to go.

    :-(
