"There's nothing special about him." -Sergiy Dzinziruk
I really like how Bhop explained how he is still able to fight at this level... How mileage comes from the abuse you take as a fighter... He has the genetics and lifestyle...
I like how he does not have this vision of himself being this superman but it is actually very realistic.
He said how he is not superfast but is not superslow. He is a fairly precise puncher and he puts just enough on them. I don't think he holds any falicies about his ability. I do think he is leary of Joe and well he should be... He's gonna have to throw alot of puches if he plans to throw in between Joes... ALOT.
I think this fight will be fun to watch and I think the boys are doing a good job selling it.
They've sold me!
I do love Joe but... C'mon... Who "great" has he fought... An aging Eubank? Stop it...
We have no trouble finding great fighters on Bernards resume.
Again though I pick Joe to take it but not by much... Split dec.

Hopkins is so full of shet. He made his name on much smaller guys and gets wayyy too much credit for what he's done. He says he's fought better guys but the only 2 really good middleweights he's fought, both beat him.
Joe on the other hand has beaten evryone thrown at him and is clearly a much better fighter than bernard. Hopkins would be nothing without fighting dirty and without those wins over two welters.

So you think Calzaghe has the better resume then? Tell me how Joe has made his name... Eubank thats it. Like I said before... I love Joe but lets not get it twisted... Hopkins has fought the better opposition.
Joe just has the uncanny ability to fight better with the opposition put in front of him. I call Joe to win but please don't be fooled by what you have seen Joe do to so many. Hopkins is NOT Jeff Lacy, Sakio Bika, Peter Manfredo or even a faded Eubank. He is one of the crftiest middleweights ever.
So Please, elaborate on Joe's stellar opposition that is better then the "welters" you speak of.![]()

Till you decide to hang up the gloves it's all about who you beat....not who you've beaten. All this tit for tat stuff between the two is funny.

I think this fight will eb about as excting as the sakio bika fight, but easier than the Kessler fight for Joe.
Calzaghe has beaten every fighter put in front of him , but to be fair apart from maybe 2 , my mother could have beaten them all.
Hopkins resume is beyond compare to JOKE CALZAGHE'S the WBO joke champion.
Mr i couldnt get the other champs to sign for a fight for 10 years , because of the cotton wool that Warren has wrapped around me .
So hey i ll change all that by waiting till Bernard Hopkins is 43 , that will make me an all time GREAT if i beat him !!!!![]()
was that sly stallone at 2:10 in calzaghe's video
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
Trust me man, I'm not confused and if I feel sorry for you if you're betting the other way because you're gonna lose.
Hopkins got a gift decision against Winky and he beat 2 welters to make a name for himself. Joe has beaten everyone in his division and very convincingly I might add. Without having to fight dirty. All skill and workrate. BTW, I'm talking about guys in his own weight class not blown up greats that had no business at the weight to begin with.
Again, hopkins fought two good middleweights during his run (Roy and Jermain) and they both beat him. He spent the reast of those years against the Robert Allens of the world. Lol....3 of his defences were against Allen
He's gonna get beat up that night man. Put your oney where your mouth is because I know the result.

Don't really know why Calzaghe would bother to argue their resumes... Hopkins has clearly fought much better guys overall.
