    Yeah I know Popkins is no Lacy, sure hes better but just have a look at the workrate and boxing skills thats hes got to contend with.

    the whole calzaghe lacy fight...i know we've all seen it but have a fresh look!!

    Bernards a great fighter but I really cant see him having much of a realistic chance...barring Calzaghes hands breaking early. I reckon a clear decisive points win....maybe even a shutout...or late stoppage. No matter how I look at this fight I cant see Hopkins fighting after this......this is his pension fight.

    nah i can guarantee you that calslappy will win but no way it's a shutout. he wins via close decision and i am betting my money(and of course vcash) on that

    I won't be surprised if Calslappy lloks worst then Joppy after this fight.

    After this weekend, Hatton can feel proud about his performance and thank God he isn't a SMW.

    axeman,

    I think thats completely irrelevant - as Nazim Richardson said 'I could throw 100 punches a round at a heavy bag'. Im picking Calzaghe by the way, but he we would be unwise to fight like that vs Hopkins.

    Calzaghe says he isn't throwing 1000 punches this fght. He's going to drop that count to 500-600 punches and sit down on more of them to
    hurt bernard.
