Hopkins Not Interested in Tarver Rematch

[Preme]

What's the point in fighting Tarver? There isn't one. Hopkins stops Calzaghe and beats Oleg on points. He loses to Jones on points and believe it or not I think he would get stopped if he faced Bell. Bell hits harder and is faster than Hopkins. Bell would be a bad choice for Hopkins

Hopkins stops Calzaghe? That's nonsense. I wouldn't be surprisd if Joe stopped him though.

No one has ever legitamately stopped Hopkins...I love Joe & all that...but let's be realistic.

Seriously, I don't see that happening cause Hopkins never exposes his chin but you know a little smack talk never hurt anyone. I still think Joe wins that fight though.

Start that back peddling

KER-CHING!!!!

As much as I like Joe & as fast as he is & all that...he'd be in for a rude awakening against Bernard. As far as back pedalling goes...I go back & forth a bit myself. Hopkins dropping the weight...getting reset at 160-168...would it affect him? Not sure...but I don't think that it would.

Hopkins knows his body & treats it as a temple...it's paid off for him for years.

Plus...Calzaghe aint going to be throwing 1200 punches at an open barnyard door like Lacy...he'll be trying to get into peep holes agianst Hopkins.

Also...people forget Hopkins's ability to crack. He's hammered out plenty of men & recently he dropped Tarver & had Taylor on queer street.

Hopkins is no walk in the park.

I agree with you Wack. And I would cc you, but that'll defeat the purpose of the sc I gave you earlier on. Calzaghe ain't knocking Hopkins out. Calzaghe ain't beating Hopkins. And one thing I'm wondering about is why everybody saying Lacy got a iron jaw? Since when? He was stun in his last fight. It looked like he almost went down. Omar Sheika wobbled him. And even Rubin Wlliams shook him and backed him up. So where's the iron at?

also tsypko(sp?) made him weak at the knees,

i don't think calzaghe has the power anymore to KO, MAYBE 5 years ago he had the power, but to many hand brakes and what nots have taken their tole. good point by wacko is how hopkins cin isnt going to be there to land any KO shots on either, i think calzaghe can and will sto hopkins late tho, but pure KO? i doubt that.

btw, in the lacy fight, there was like 2-3 times if i remeber right where lacy looked primed to get ko'd but the ref stopping it for the glove tape ot be cut, and i tink a gumshiled not in? was a couple times where lacy looked ready to go and got lucky brakes if i remeber right
