If BHop himself thought he could've rearranged Calzaghe's face 6 years ago the fight would've happened as he was offered enough money to do so.

 

Calzaghe 6 yrs ago would of been Hopkins` biggest test. To fight now will be tough for Calzaghe cause he never fought a dirty fighter before but Hops is in for a bad nite 19th April. He fought alot of SMALL men and won.
Yess he held onto the IBF title for 10 yrs and done a great job of it but Hopkins has lost fights, 2 losses was against the same guy.
And Calzaghe is 2 leagues above Taylor.

 

I see bhop taking this fight imo Hopkins is by far Calzaghes biggest challange. I think he has a few to many tricks for JC. I dont mind who wins this fight to be fair but I Hopkins may just nick it.

 

I dispise being called a brit.


From a Scotsman i hope B-Hop destroys JC

 

From a Scotsman: Joe Calzaghe wide UD, :yep

 

Hopkins is to old and faded to be Calzaghes biggest challange! Stop living in the past!

 

He has to say things like that! He is fighting for legacy! If he stated that he is fighting has been fighters in the year 2008, he would be mocked by his fans!

I fear that he will fight Roy Jones Jr. after beating Hopkins. That would be a shame!

 

Just wondering, if b-hop has all of these fall back plans and changeable tactics people go on about....how come we didnt see him use them in 24 rounds of taylor or 12 of winky ? JC obviously showed he can switch tactics midway through the kessler fight.

 

Joe's in Arkansas hanging with Taylor, stratedgizing.

 

Hopkins has no chance of winning this one!

After Hopkins Calzaghe only has 2 fights that makes sense legacywise: Pavlik and Dawson!

Pavlik - Calzaghe won´t happen though!

 

Not even you believe that would happen. But yes it is really sad that people live in the past with their favourite fighters.

Latest example was Holyfield Vs. Ibragimov.

After Calzaghe retires Hopkins, people will start the crusade that Roy Jones Jr. can win! Sad but true!

 

But if Joe beat up Dawson, all the Americans would just say he was overhyped, had never fought anyone really and would all be claiming that they didn't actually pick Dawson to win in one before the fight....

We've been there before!

 

Hopkins has more of a chance than most will let others believe - but I think Joe has the youth, speed and punch output to get a decision.

Still, a decision over a 43 year old Hopkins does NOT make you p4p no. 2 (unless, of course, a certain other fighter LOSES this weekend); let alone, p4p the best fighter of this generation.

If your not even the best fighter of a 3-year period which encompasses your best wins of your ENTIRE career; how in the hell are you even IN the discussion about being amongst the best fighters of this gen?

 

this fight is a very big mystery, do you really have what you think you see.
How thorough has Joe C' career prepared him for this fight? This is no gimme, but an awkward intelligent, strong and seasoned fighter in Bhop.

Then again Has time and age caught up with BHop and is Joe C as good as he seems. This fight has got me so intrigued and I cant say any one way with any certainty. I can only vouch for the very real and tested ability of BHOP.
Hopkins is defenitely no can and the only negative going in is the age.

fight night will tell the story.
