Calzaghe Hopkins is pointless. Hopkins is a shot old man, Calzaghe would destroy him.

But they obvioulsy think more people will tune into than say. Calzaghe V Pavlik or Taylor.
Of course most Americans will think Hopkins can beat Calzaghe, they won't even have watched Calzaghe before. It's exactly the same as over here in the UK where all our boxing pundits and experts and every man on the street honestly thought that Ricky Hatton was going to beat Floyd Mayweather.

That's why they call it 'blind' patriotism after all
