Does anybody think Hopkins can beat Calzaghe?

[Trainer Monkey]

Its not like Joes exactly a spring chicken at 35

He is more fresher than Hopkins is.

Not really,and hes certainly not as good tactically as Hopkins

Are you kidding me? Not as good tactically? If being dirty is a tactic, then Bhop is in a league of his own but otherwise, there is no comparison as far as tactical skill goes. I mean that in Joes favor.

Joe is a supreme athlete with great speed, skill, chin and determination. You saw against Kesler his fighting spirit as well when he got hit clean and came right back at him.

I'm not even a huge fan of Joe but I think he is the only fighter that I can't see anyone in around his weight beating him. Too bad we discovered him so late in America. Otherwise, he would have been p4p #1 and certainly a consideration for my favorite fighter.

He has really impressed me and I have really grown to like the guy as a fighter.

Oh stop it with the dirty crap,its old,its tired and it hasnt been true for years.His last two fights that went really dirty were Echols(who was dirtier by far) and Holmes(though I cant see how you can blaim Hopkins for being dirty when Holmes got nipple rash from his trunks)
