Hate to say it but..Hopkins might do a number on Calzaghe!!!

[Spicoli]

IMO....................Calzaghe is more a tactical boxer compared to Hop. Hop is one dimensional and consist of his leaning with the right and droping his head. Cal has alot of weapons and had foot work. it is going to be an interesting match and we will see who wins the bout that night.

IMO.............i would also like to see a "white man" give a woopin to for those who talk too much.

Exactley how many Hopkins fights have you seen bro.?He does rely on the sniper right hand alot in late career but to say he is one dimensonal is way off.He can be frustrating(just imagine how his opponent feels) but make no mistake,he is a tactical master.

I want JC to win but I have a feeling that muay thai master Bernard will win. Add in Enzo C's bad run with Mac getting his ass handed to him by Haye,ditto Rees....Those guys losing their biggest fights,maybe Enzo C was over rated?Or those fighters were? I couldn't believe I was reading Enzo C not giving Haye ANY credit whatsoever,saying he still doesn't rate him etc!!

Joe is an entirely different animal compared to the previous guys you just mentioned... Kinda like saying the few guys Uncle Roger was training lost and that all of a sudden you are worried for Floyd in his next fight...Trainers guide and hone a fighter, its up to the fighter to carry out the instructions, Maccarelli admitted after the fight that he didnt due a thing that they worked on in the gym... all trainers have had rough runs.

Freddy Roach
Buddy Mcgirt
Emmanuel Steward
just to name a few

Joe is a special fighter that has seen it all and experienced it all so its a safe bet to say that he has the mental part of the fight game on lock down

By what your saying I'm suprised that Enzo is not being gracious

IMO.............Hopkins relys on that right which is his only REAL weapon. That is his leading right hand that causes some difficulties for SOME boxers. He comes in and then leans forward to not get counterpunched. UNlike Cal, who shows footwork, has a jab, uses the ring, and has the attributes that a REAL CHAMP shows...it might be a done deal, but the fact is that HOP has a chin as well as CAL, they both have STAMINA and could go all 12.

IMO....i just think that CAL possess a bigger threat if he is smart and uses HOP as a punching bag..(hitting the body)..because CAL is really great in doing so, he might stop HOP. ALso i would love to see a "white man" as HOP calls it, have a tremedous career leaving a legacy UNDEFEATED!!!!!

I have probably seen maybe 7 or 8 fights on HOP. I'm not taking nothing away it's exactly how you said it....this is his late career. I don't see him as we all did when he was a tad bit younger. He always has somthing up his sleeve that is whats great about him, but i just think that CAL is alot more agile.

Hey, who knows maybe HOP might win and retire with a BELT and there goes a fantanstic ending chapter in his career.

I always go out on a limb in a build up to a Calzaghe fight and this is no different. Hopkins really has only a limited means of beating Joe. Hopkins last stopped a fighter when?? His only chance is to stop Joe...and that just isnt gonna happen. Outworked by a fighter who is simply more in tune with what is needed to get the job done.

[mickeyluvsu]

That is why i believe that CAL is gonna win this fight....IMO.. HOP is going to get worked!!
