Calzaghe: I'm Going To Smash Hopkins Up!

[eagle]

I'm not sure if Calzaghe is going to "smash Hopkins up," but I am sure that he's going to give Bernard the boxing clinic of a lifetime. Hopkins will be lucky to win 2 rounds.


The only thing that sucks for Calzaghe about this fight is that after he's done dominating Hopkins, everybody is going to say that Hopkins was too old and had this fight taken place ___ years ago that the result would have been different; when in reality, the Calzaghe of today would bury Hopkins at any point in his career.


It's too bad that Joe fought spent nearly his whole career in the UK, because had he come to America much earlier in his career, he would easily be a household name on par with Oscar Delahoya and Roy Jones Jr. Although I'm not so sure that he beats RJJ at 168.

CC for great post and I agree especially with the point that he would beat hopkins at any point in their careers.

Have u actually ever watched a prime Hopkins? To say that Calzaghe would beat Hopkins at any point in his career is just wrong. It would be a close fight that either man could have won.
Calzaghe Fanboys ruin this site!

I've seen many prime Hopkins fights, and still stick with my statement. Hopkins is an all time great, imo, but Joe Calzaghe is even better.

My comment was not aimed at u mate cos from reading your posts (other than the Zab ones) u do seem to have a reasonable knowledge of boxing. I dont like the way some guys only follow one fighter and just go on about how good he is.
