I don't think I have ever heard Joe talk about an opponent with such distain...Hopkins tried to embaress Calzaghe at the lead up for PBF/Hatton...Joe did not take kindly to it....

At 44-0 with 32 KO's be it Hopkins or anyone else from 160-175 it is not wise to piss off the SMW champion

Although I do agree that Calzaghe has a great shot of beating Hopkins... If he does, it's not going to be because he is more up for it or mentally stronger, that's for damn sure imo. Hopkins might lose this fight, but he's not going to lose the mind games and he's not going to lose his cool in there because of anything that happens before the fight. IF anyone does, that will be Joe. He's shown much more tendency to be frustrated by an opponents tactics in ring than Hopkins EVER has. Even if Hopkins is losing, he's controlling the pace and cool as a cucumber in there.
