    Haha, good stuff, thx man!

    This is crazy. Every damn video on this fight was great so far.... Naseem knows a lot and he's got some good points. Calzaghe has never ever ever fought a guy with Hopkins' style and level of skills and sounds over his head in every statements. I just can't believe Joe's REALLY underestimating Hopkins... that's can't be true, he's discrediting his oppoent's capabilities and record too much to be true...

    I think Calzaghe is playing the mind game as well which is new to me. I think he's taking Hopkins VERY seriously. If not, he's gonna be in trouble.

    If Jermaine Taylor/Tarver fought everyone Joe fought they would be 40-0 + as well.

    Joe is the best of a very poor era of super middles.

    Can you imagine Marcus Beyer, Anthony Mundine, Glenn Catley etc holding world titles when Nunn, Toney,Jones Mcullum were around.....?????

    I would pick Eubank over Taylor/Tarver! And Kess for that matter!

    In his prime so would I. But the version that Joe fought was only a shell of what he once was.

    Mr Stan of boxing, I guarantee you are one of those over zaelous xenophobic and overly patriotic clowns who backed hatton all the way. I bet.

    Nazim is an intelligent man; very good interview. It's a shame that stupid woman cut him off...he could have gone on for another 5 minutes. Of course, he's wrong/

    KEssler and Lacy were up and coming champs, both beasts. They both had massive potential and are the hardest types of fights. Not beating up midgets from welterweight or old fat Tarvers. Or losign twice to ****ing jermain Taylor

    Brother Naazim is a somber, intelligent man and even though he has a medical situation, I do believe he is not overhypin Bernard. Kessler was too upright and Lacy did look for the one punch in one spot while Bernard is not supposed to play into Calzaghe's game with his experience at the level he's fought... But this is all almost too academical - Hopkins will have to keep up with the tempo that Calzaghe will set and that is the bottom line. I really think that there's no chance that Joe will break drastically from the Kessler fight to this one so the real question is the TECHNICAL one, not the HISTORICAL one - how can Bernard run those numbers back at Joe... The experience and the opposition factors are not that relevant - at least, speaking about consistent and classy World Champs and good athletes like Joe Calzaghe, Chad Dawson, Mikkel Kessler, Lucian Bute... Great old fighters have to fight back at them, no just outhink and offset them on defense.

    Calzaghe also fought Kessler and Lacy infornt of a hyped up crowd which helped him also.

    His views are very biased when he questions Calzaghe's credibility. If you want to play his little games:

    BHop lost to RJJ, who lost to Johnson, who lost to Sheika who lost to Calzaghe.

    rjj was passed joe cal level in his prime, how dare you :-(

    taver and glen are fighters that i would personally favor over joe, hopkins handle those guys with ease.

    oscar and tito are on the same level as joe, they just fought in the states and had better comp.oscar and tito would be undefeated if they fought there whole career in the uk, i told you that about 12 hrs ago :good

    ps i dont think taver would beat joe anymore, the tarver that koed rjj is the version that would have beat joe.glen would eat him alive and joe knows that.that fight should have been made but joe dont want no part him now just like then.
