what makes me laugh is the people who say he will Ko calzaghe.. this isnt a post from a "i love clazaghe fan2 its from sum1 who has seen so many of his fights..

people who think hopkins will KO joe don't know F*** all about boxers outside the usa. lacy was a big hitter and joe walked through them all! forget tyhe fact calzaghe totaly batterd him, lacy did land some good clean shots and never once did calzaghe looked like they hurt. watch the eubank fight it wasnt untill the 12 round, after alot of shots thrown and landed did eubank make calzaghe clinch, and eubank no matter what his age landed some very clean and powerfull shots!

brewer was a big hitter and put clazaghe down, but even then clazaghe gt back up (and fast) but carried on never looking like he was shaken or really hurt. hopkins is a good fighters and has a good hit, but if you think he culd ko him your off your F****** face
I think anyone who says Calzaghe would beat Hopkins or Tarver, don't know a damn thing about boxers from the USA. Their both, Hopkins especially, a class above Calzaghe. Hopkins in skill, power, experience, you name it. Tarver in weight, power, talent. They'd both beat Calzaghe fo sure. Tarver more likely by KO. But Hopkins could KO Joe, I think he would in the later rounds, or least counterpunch him to an easy UD.
Calzaghe would beat both of them at this stage in all 3 of their careers. Calzaghe is far more skilled than Jermaine Taylor and Taylor did beat Hopkins in that 2nd fight. Hopkins would have his work cut out dealing with Calzaghe at this stage. 5 years ago I would attest very differently. As for Tarver. Its not even worth discussing. Even Starr thinks Tarver would beat Calzaghe. That says it all really!
