Hate to say it but..Hopkins might do a number on Calzaghe!!!

[Gandalf]

ugly fight, Hopkins will frustrate Calzaghe badly and reduce his output drastically with movement, grappling, ect., but won't do a whole lot and Calzaghe will probably get a close points win just cause he does a bit more.

Significantly more....quite a lot more.

IMO....................Calzaghe is more a tactical boxer compared to Hop. Hop is one dimensional and consist of his leaning with the right and droping his head. Cal has alot of weapons and had foot work. it is going to be an interesting match and we will see who wins the bout that night.

IMO.............i would also like to see a "white man" give a woopin to for those who talk too much.

Exactley how many Hopkins fights have you seen bro.?He does rely on the sniper right hand alot in late career but to say he is one dimensonal is way off.He can be frustrating(just imagine how his opponent feels) but make no mistake,he is a tactical master.

I have probably seen maybe 7 or 8 fights on HOP. I'm not taking nothing away it's exactly how you said it....this is his late career. I don't see him as we all did when he was a tad bit younger. He always has somthing up his sleeve that is whats great about him, but i just think that CAL is alot more agile.

Hey, who knows maybe HOP might win and retire with a BELT and there goes a fantanstic ending chapter in his career.

I always go out on a limb in a build up to a Calzaghe fight and this is no different. Hopkins really has only a limited means of beating Joe. Hopkins last stopped a fighter when?? His only chance is to stop Joe...and that just isnt gonna happen. Outworked by a fighter who is simply more in tune with what is needed to get the job done.

That is why i believe that CAL is gonna win this fight....IMO.. HOP is going to get worked!!
