Why has Hopkins made this unwinnable match? Why does he think he can win?

    Whatever, to Hopkins it's all about the money. Hopkins used to be one of my favorite fighters. It's a shame that Hopkins could not get Roid Jones back into the right, Jones knew Hopkins would have beaten him.

    Calzaghe should win this fight, but Hopkins is not a shot fighter.

    Calzaghe is a southpaw and very fast, throws a lot of punches. His workrate will be a problem for Hopkins.

    The Byron Mitchell that Calzaghe faced would beat Hopkins now, maybe by KO.

    Bull****. I suspect Jones knew Tarver would beat him in their 3rd fight yet it didn't stop him getting into the ring.

    Hopkins had his chance to beat Jones back in the day, and he failed miserably.

    Because he's an old delusional idiot who couldn't even beat Jermain Taylor. No way he beats someone 50 times better than Taylor.

    Styles make fights, I'd guess that Hopkins thinks that Calzaghes style is one he can deal with, simple as that. Whether he can deal with it at this advanced age is another question.

    As for Calzaghe being 50x better than Taylor.....:patsch
