well black or white aside
id rather see a fighter throw 9punches a second verses a fighter who throw 9 punches a round while clinching, headbutting, and anything he can do while facing away from the ref of course LOL
but thats just me LOL

i actually heard calzaghe say that when hopkins 'goes in his shell' he will just randomly throw punches in his direction...
he really said that
this has the potential to look worse then wright vs soliman
Theres gonna be a few head clashes I would think with B-Hops head down and both of them trying to come forward. B-Hop may try the Bika route which is maul inside and B-Hop can work inside with the best of em. B-Hop is going to time his counters after about 3-5 punches from Calzaghe when he's pulling back. Just throwing punches in bunches won't work Calzaghe has to pull off another Lacy type performance, but even higher because B-Hop is no Lacy.
I think that's exactly whats going to happen as far as the mauling inside. This is going to be an ugly fight. Calzaghe would be best served behind the jab but squared up on the inside, Hopkins is going to win.
And if they (Calzaghe's camp) honestly think that Sal then people are going to think Calzaghe looks terrible. I hate that slapping at air shit >:mad looks retarded, I hope Hopkins beats him up >:mad
These are my two least favorite champs in boxing going at it.

Either ways Joe comes thru as winner because at this weight or super mid, he has too much of everything for Hopkins, The guy (J.C) is special because he always finds a way to win, broken hands or not,
His mental and physical toughness is so underrated, he is as strong as a bull, Kessler and Lacy thought they could out strength him but to no avail,
Also Joe has only been cut once in his career...and was last defeated as a kid back in 1990 and that was up for argument even....Ya don't stay lucky or avoid the best when you have been around that long its not possible...
This will not even be Joe's hardest fight, but one where we will see him shine, only for us to hear "Well B.Hop was past his best, he wouldn't have beaten him in his prime" Which is rubbish as he has wanted this for so long...and now the time has come, he has more than enough equipment both mentally and physically to deal with anything B.Hop tries....
:badass::badass::badass:
is that u and hatton in ya avator?
Yeah it is me with Rick H bud...met him a couple of times....ironic that on this occasion it was outside the M.E.N the night Joe beat Lacy up, I was lucky to be ringside for that exhibition...
He looked twice as devastating from ringside than he did on t.v if thats possible...
Hes the real deal is Joe alright...
9 pts from me to you! buddy ricky looks like he's his "between fight balloon super size" self in ya pic LOLQuote:

wasnt that fight at like 3:30am your guys time? thats hard to the core LOL
I was quite shocked when those words came out of the Nards lips and saw the venom in his eyes when he said that, Joes so laid back but you could see he was taken back a bit with that coment. Do you all think Joe will use those words to motivate himself even more and when the fights on and they are in the clinches do you think Joe will whisper in his ear that he is loosing to a white boy.
PS IMO thier is no place for those comments in sport or any where else.
BTW for anyone in the UK...
due to slavery there is a double standard in the US reguarding racial remarks
hopkins saying that doesnt offend most people here, i find it funny :D
Over here in the UK the goverment has gone all out to stop those kind of remarks, bit of a nanny state we a turning into these days. It shocked me but it did make me smile all the same, Hopkins will say anything to sell a few more tickets ;D.
B-Hop is a awesome talent he says stupidest thing to mess with the guy's head he doesn't think before he talks. I despise this piece of shit for what he did to my flag but i do have to admit in the talent dept he has greatness all over.
