    Joe will give Bhop a beating if he fights, I think after 3-4 rds Bhop will know he cant win and then fight defensive to survive.

    They just agreed to a 50/50 purse split, so no one is scared, Joe or BHOP.

    And if BHOP isn't a gifted fighter, I don't know who is. His footwork, defense, and they way he throws sharp punches have few who currently compare.

    Joe C is obviously an excellent fighter, but BHOP can stylistically break him down. Joe C will not throw 1000 punches at BHOP, because bhop will make him pay for many of his (mostly) shoe shine punches. BHOP is no one punch KO guy, but his punches have a wilting effect, especially that overhand right, which Calzaghe is open for all day.

    BHOP UD12 Calzaghe

    I just think Hopkins will beat Calzaghe. He'll make the fight as rough and dirty as possible w/o getting disqualified. I can almost see it now.

    It'll be interesting how Calzaghe will cope once Hopkins takes him out of his rythm of throwing 100 punches per round.

    BHOP will maul Joe on the inside, he has the height and reach advantage over Joe, so he could fight him from the outside too.

    Hopkins is another guy like RJJ and PBF, fighters that had ridiculous workrate beforehand come in to fight him thinking that'll win them the fight and all of a sudden after 2-3 rounds that workrate drops due to the bombs they're receiving....it happened too late against Taylor, will it against Calzaghe? That is the only question about this fight, cos no way is Hopkins getting stopped or KO'd.

    They said the same thing about Winky and Tarver.

    And Hopkins has excellent hand speed himself:yep

    If he beats Calzaghe, then he will jump from a top 20 to a top 10.
