    Default Calzaghe's hands

    In the past Joe has had alot of problems with his hands,they seem to be holding up ok at the moment,but with him moving up a weight he says he will be hitting alot harder could his hands be a factor in his fight with Hopkins?

    I wouldn't be surprise to hear Calzaghe blames his hands after he loses to Hopkins

    I don't think so...The biggest factor in this fight will be Joe's work rate...Hopkins does not start fast and prefers to counter all night....Joe just needs to keep a 75 punch per round work rate and he will win this one...IMO Hopkins needs a KO for a win

    I agree joe has to be busy.I just carnt see Hopkins throwing enough punches over the 12 rounds to take a decision.

    Calzaghe's hands...

    What are they like?

    Ok, hows this?

    They're kind of like when you're at a water park and your standing in line for that huge ass slide... And the girl standing in front of you tosses her hair and it slaps ya in the face... Yeah, thats what Joe's hands are like

    I love it... Yeah... I don't remember hopkins ever being "slaped around"... In fact, I've seen Joe having all kinds of trouble wih guys like Sakio Bika, who did some slapping around of his own... Hmmmm. I don't know... Maybe I'm wrong.












    Yeah, I'm not

    I will give you one whole rep point for that

    He had a bad night with Bika he had hand problems before and after the fight.He got headbutted that caused his first cut in his pro career.He admitted after the fight that he couldnt get up for the fight aswell which is his own fault to some extent. But he still won. Do you believe that Hopkins just had TWO bad nights against Taylor ?

    The better the opponent Calzaghe the better he is, he was ment to get beat my Lacy look what happened there.Then the Kessler fight which again another 50/50 fight that Joe won a fairly wide UD.

    He won't be able to throw that many punches against Hopkins, he didn't against Reid or Bika when they roughed him up and clinched him on the inside. People seem to think all Calzaghe has to do is out work Hopkins on the inside they couldn't be more wrong he will lose if he does that, he needs to box from the outside use his jab and he will win a decision. If he tries to stay on the inside against Hopkins he will lose simple as that.

    JC wont fight on the inside thats for sure he would be fighting Hopkins fight if he did that and he will be butted.

    This would definitely be a factor.

    I think the real issue here is if the referee would allow Nard to headbutt, low blow, rabbit punch and elbow Joe Cal like he does in all his previous fights. The Wright-Hopkins fight was the worst-officiated match in the history of the sport IMO.

    All fighters who lose have broken hands and have been poisoned. No one actually loses a fight any more. Although Katsidis didn't blame anything last week he just said he lost. Must have been sent to the present from the past. I bet Calzaghe and BHop don't be that honest. No matter who wins.
