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
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.
