Calzaghe/Hopkins Weigh-In Pics

Good point . When has Hopkins ever not had a pyschcolgical advantage going into the ring before? Joe was buzzing like this b4 the fight with Kess and we saw how he performed then.

What makes yo think Hopkins doesn't have the psychological advantage? Kessler doesn't do much with the mind games, so Joe could do what he wanted. Hopkins is the master of mind games. To me it looks like Joe is looking for some advantage in the weigh in because he needs something. Hopkins looks calm and like he has nothing more to do. It's his bread and butter. Those smiles will mean little to B-Hop

I know when Hop has an advantage or not . I saw it with Winky . I knew Tarver was beaten b4 he stepped in the ring but I havent seen anything from Joe that would suggest teh same. Hopkins hasnt doen anything . He tried getting in Joes face at the weigh in but Joe got in his face back and got the crowd behind him . Hop was booed off the stage . I could be wrong but my feeling is if Hopkins is gonna beat Joe its gonna be in the ring as he cant do it outside.

Nothing you suggested indicates a psychological advantage though. Hopkins knows when to talk and when not to. what was it about the winky and Tarver fights that made you feel that? If it was just because he spoke out more that means nothing i dont think. Sometimes less is more.

Hopkins is the harder man and its the harder man i pick Mayweather vs Hatton all over again.

Stylistically this fight is the complete opposite... We're talking about to different fighters here but if any one has Hatton's ugly mauling style it's hopkins... only way he's gonna win this fight is by being clever/dirty/rough... he doesn't have the speed to out slick calzaghe.

And I doubt anyone would call Mayweather a hard man. He's a dancing man that's about it.
