Im glad someone finally said it. No direspect to joe but I agree. Hopkins is better in all categories. But I have seen the aging in hopkins and he could be beat on workrate. Everyone who is picking joe r forgetting a few things. Hopkins has been here before but for joe this will be his first fight against a big name, his first fight in america, and his first fightt at 175. These things will come into play. See i know hop is mentally strong enough but im not sold on joe yet. Add that on with hops rough house tactics and this could be a long night. all Im saying is if he jumps in on hops like he did lacy and kessler he will be in for a surprise. Bernard wont hit him alot but he will be accurate.
