    What are the chances of Hopkins losing via DQ? I don’t think Hopkins will do something like Tyson, but Hopkins can be a very dirty fighter when he wants to be.

    If Hopkins is down on the cards, he might foul out rather than lose the traditional way.

    Why None? Hopkins can be dirty. Calzaghe can frustrate anyone with fair tactics. Hopkins said some racy stuff. He might get frustrated then foul rather than take a peppering.

    hopkins frustrated in a fight :D

    joe cal might have frustrated some guys in his day but not hopkins.frustration is a mental thing, we are not talking a zab judah type of fighter.

    hopkins can be dirty but its not out frustration, its to get the other guy frustrated and to mentally brake down right before he brakes them down.

    guy like hopkins with his record and legacy will not get FRUSTRATED by joe cal, anything but that im sorry.

    50/50; he either gets DQed or he doesn't.

    Now I know damn well that you're not dumb enought to actually believe that faulty logic. The chances of Hopkins getting DQ'd in this fight are very slim.

    Hopkins said he would not lose to a white guy because it is unacceptable where he come from. Keep in mind big Reg, that Hopkins is an x-con. He is not going to take a pasting without resorting to dirty tactics, and Hopkins can most certainly be a dirty fighter. I think there is a chance he will foul out if he tires or is getting embarrassed.

    Hopkins has had over 50 fights and has never come close to being DQ'd. DQ's don't happen very often in this sport. Being DQ'd is a loss. So if he doesn't believe it's acceptable to lose to a white guy, he sure as hell isn't going to get himself DQ'd. Once again, there is a very small chance of a DQ occuring.

    If Popkins really starts getting hammered, which could very well happen, he could snap, and hit his breaking point, emotions run high, he popped Winky Wright at the weigh in last year so he does have a temper;) Cortez is a no BULL**** Ref who will keep the old man in line, i just think he's gonna get an ass kicking and lose by UD- but anything could happen, Certain guy's react different ways when they are in a fight they know they can't win..
