Thread: Bhop vs Joe, prediction!

As much as I don't want to go against joe ever since he defeated my boy kessler. I think bhop is going to do what he does best. Bhop is a machine, his just not human i tell ya. I've never seen a triple O'G over 40 years old that goes to get every muscle in him and ligaments and all that detailed anotomy information checked.

Bhop via tko 11th!

seriously i hate to see joe lose but im really starting to think bhop is going to stop him.

Hard one to choose from like i said in the other thread if Calzaghe boxes from the outside and uses his jab he should out point Hopkins. But if he decides to stand and trade with Hopkins he will get roughed up big time, he will get badly frustrated, plus his rhythm will get off set by Hopkins clinching ect. History has showed Calzaghe has struggled in rough tough fights aka Bika, aka Reid, aka Salem.

Exactly ICE!!!!!

and joe is facing his nightmare bhop whos the master at dirty rough house tactical fights. ever since joe owned my boy kessler i was too busy worshipping joe and forgetting how bhop does it in the ring.

Joe C by clear decision.

Hopkins is 43. Forty-fookin-three.

Foreman was 45 when he beat Moorer

Last time I checked Nard hasnt scored a Ko or Tko with 1 punch in quite a few years

Joe will beat Hopkins on way to a wide, ridiculous 12 round desicion... Hopkins will be lucky to win 2-3 rounds, after that he will be outclassed and out gunned and will ultimately retire Hopkins

I know you're half tongue in cheek there but Calzaghe isnt Michael Moorer and you know it.

Hopkins will be tricky but thats it. He sure as hell hasnt got better since the Taylor fights. Calzaghe is better than any of that, and whats more...he is active and near his best.

Anyway, well done on the lines game score ICB!!

don't matter shit what age hopkins is or isn't

he stood little chance against joe in his prime and has zero chance now.

ROy was big enough to come out and say joe was to good a fighter to risk with the reward he would of gaine from it. hopkins can't say that, he fought nobodys after the breakdown of a career high pay day (then) to fight joe.

Hopkins is a counter puncher that works well against piss poor fightrs or vastly smaller fighters. every time he has fought a good natural talent at said weight he has lost. EVERY time.

we all know the aftermath will be joe beat a "40+" fighter. but anyone who thinks hopkins will be remotley competetive in this fight is as pissed as i am now.

I don't drink and secondly your underrating Hopkins far too much, you will be eating your words i guarantee you that, if Hopkins loses it won't be by stoppage no way on this earth, and it for certain won't be by one sided decision loss. Your bad mouthing Hopkins but won't this be the best opponent Calzaghe has ever fought by far ??

hopkins

Calzaghe will start the fight with 2 guns blazing, but he will get knocked down in mid-rounds. From there, it will be back and forth action to the finish with Joe rallying and out-pointing Bernard in late rounds.

Calzaghe by SD.

i reckon Calzaghe ll snatch the first few rounds then B-Hop ll start getting dirty using a headbutt and a few low blows to get Joe off his game. Then Hop ll probibly clinch and get right in Calzaghes face as much as possible making Joe fight Bhops fight. For some reason i can see Joe getting knocked down at some stage because he tends to get cocky and stick his chin out and Bhop ll send his ass to the canvas. I think Bhop on points 115-113 (hopkins deducted a point for headbutt)

Close enough.

Hopkins is one of the ATG fighters of this generation. That said, hes not going to beat Joe unless he KOs him. That is unlikely conidering Hopkins is not as much as a risk taker as he used to be, because he cant afford to be and he understands that. Hes accomplished a lot in the last couple years but the guys in front of him all had one thing in common: they didnt throw nearly as mny punches as Joe usually does. Winky looked awful vs. Hop and so did Tarver. That was mostly because of Hopkins ring smarts making them look bad, but it was also because they werent in phisically good shape. This will be the fight that Hopkins finally looks old, not 43, but he will look past his prime. I think he will make Joe look bad too and possibly knock him down but ultimately Hop will lose a UD.

If 2008 Hopkins is better than the Kessler who fought Calzaghe Calzaghe is in trouble.
