    I love it... Yeah... I don't remember hopkins ever being "slaped around"... In fact, I've seen Joe having all kinds of trouble wih guys like Sakio Bika, who did some slapping around of his own... Hmmmm. I don't know... Maybe I'm wrong.












    Yeah, I'm not

    I will give you one whole rep point for that

    It was meant to be a slap in the face like joe's punching...

    Trust me bif, the hands won't be an issue...

    Since he broke his hand the last time he puts very little steam on them. It doesn't matter whether there's steam on them or not though... You get slapped enough you swell

    We saw what 12 rounds of steady slapping could do to our left hook throwing friend

    A large factor in Joes lack of hand problems as of late is his use of Grant Gloves.
    Traditionally Joe always wore Everlast gloves, but they resulted in one of his worst breaks so he switched to Grant.

    The switch very nearly got him in trouble as he put a Londsdale sticker over the Grant symbol of the gloves

    I know...was being sarcastic...I rather have a full dose of negative rep then one positive one...the slap hurt worse then all of the ones Joe gave Lacy

    Calzaghe's hands were bothering him in the Sakio Bika fight. They are gonna hurt even worse fighting Hopkins. It is likely that Hopkins is figuring out the best way to break Calzaghe's hands. Maybe with his elbows, perhaps when Clazaghe throws one of his wild uppercuts. He has probably been practicing lowering his head at the precise moment so that when the pulpous handed fighter throws a punch it lands on the hard part of the noggin. Whatever Hops game plan is, I think it's safe to say that trying to breaking calzaghe's hands will at least be a part of it.

    He had a bad night with Bika he had hand problems before and after the fight.He got headbutted that caused his first cut in his pro career.He admitted after the fight that he couldnt get up for the fight aswell which is his own fault to some extent. But he still won. Do you believe that Hopkins just had TWO bad nights against Taylor ?

    The better the opponent Calzaghe the better he is, he was ment to get beat my Lacy look what happened there.Then the Kessler fight which again another 50/50 fight that Joe won a fairly wide UD.

    I thought Hopkins had two fairly decent wins against Taylor

    ICB is pretty right on the money. I do believe Hopkins will have the ring generalship in the fight no doubt. He will be able to get on the inside whenever he want's to rough Joe up. However, for the the moments the fight is on the outside he has the skills to shut down Calzaghe's punches from even landing.I just hope the judges don't fall in love with Calzaghe's pitty patter on Hopkins gloves.
