    calzahe will get outboxed ... he's too unorthodox and hasn't faced a fighter on the level of b-hop ... b-hop is discipline and a student of the game

    That is a tall statement. Joe C getting outboxed would be a first for him.

    he's not that great of a boxer ... he's very unorthodox ... he has poor balance and often squares up to his opponents. He throws winging shots and has been caught by straight punches.

    it would be a first because he's never faced a boxer ... especially one as skilled as B-Hop.

    Calzaghe. He's my favourite British Fighter, but Roy Jones is my favourite all together.

    Want JC to win so the possibility of RJJ v JC at 175 could arise

    I picked both the same. Thyey are both very good Champions with different styles but effective game.


    I do admit given the hype surrouding the fight, I'll root for Hopkins but expect JC to win a decision.

    Hopkins all the way. His storied tale to the middleweight championship is one of the best. He has done everything the hard way & is a man I very much respect. I really want to see him pull this one off then retire.

    For the first, and probably last time in his career, I'm supporting Calzaghe.
