Hopkins was 41, coming off two losses and moving up two weight-classes (clearly avoiding Calzaghe at supermiddle).. Why did you believe Hopkins would beat Tarver when *MOST* thought otherwise?

And why are you so impressed if it wasn't an upset to you?
I thought Hopkins would win a hard fought close decision, what is impressive to me about it is that Hopkins shut out Tarver completely and gave a masterclass, i was shocked when i watched how Hopkins so easily handled Tarver, like Tarver was a sparring partner. And moving up two weight classes to shut out a big Light Heavyweight like Tarver, when most people thought Hopkins was crazy moving up is very impressive and Hopkins deserves all the credit in the world.

I think this *avoiding* talk should be stopped, because Hopkins and Calzaghe are both fighting now. So whoever wins will get the bragging rights and will be considered one of the best of there era. Lets just hope it isn't a messy fight like i expect it to be.
