He looks in better condition than before Wright

Maybe he wants to teach Calzaghe a lot of lessons...

Just to add that he will need to be too, because the only thing Joe has in common with Winky is his stance....

Joe is looking real strong, with the move up, but without any visible loss of speed....He is looking awesome, as he will also need to be too...

Agreed. Joe looks in top notch condition. I dont see this as a fight between two fighters just beyond their prime because Calzaghe has just beaten his toughest opponent yet. Calzaghe is still around his best. Its Hopkins with all the question marks IMO.

bhop looks good, i hope he beats joe

Anybody can look good. No chance he beats Calzaghe though.

No way. Calzaghe is better and isnt challenging the law of such diminishing returns. Hopkins will get thrashed up.

Let's not get too excited there bud. I wan't Calzaghe to win too, but c'mon. Do you really expect Joe to walk all over the Bernard?.. This fight aint' a cakewalk for both fighters. B-hop is a vet. I consider him a late bloomer. He can be rugged anytime he wants to. He's a very smart fighter and can bend the rule and get away with it.

It wont be an easy fight, but the factors all all towards a decisive Calzaghe win for me. The truth is Hopkins hasnt been able to work for a full 3 minutes of all 12 rounds in half a decade. He has been fighting once a year since Taylor and though in tremendous shape for his age Calzaghe is in superior condition.

Hopkins will be cagey, will hold and will walk around preening too much. He is smart and thats why I have always picked BHop in the past. Not against Calzaghe though. Calzaghe has way too much and he himself can be pretty mean. Hopkins only chance is to stop Joe but Ive seen no indication that Calzaghe can be knocked out.

Calzaghe will win and he will do it with flair. Hopkins will be lucky to win 3 rounds.

Your f'ing joking right?

This is a bigger test for Joe rather than Hopkins if you ask me. Calzaghe's record is quite padded with Eubank,Lacy and Kess the bigest names on it. Hopkins has fought a fair few world class operators Jones jr,Tito,Winky,De la Hoya,Taylor and Tarver and he knows his way round a boxing ring.

Joe aint never left the UK and hes never fought a guy on the same level as B-HOP. Hopkins is one smart kat and whoever thinks this is gonna be a Joe C cake walk is totally dillued. Joe may have a high work rate but he aint got a lot of power and the more he throws the more B-Hop can counter and Calzaghe leaves his chin out quit a bit (he got caught numerous times against kess). Joe stuggles in a rough fights (Bika) and thats Hopkins specialty.

Im going for Hopkins on points 115-112

No, I am not.

He looks like a primed fighter. Its hard to believe he is 43.

Nice pic's Dude.Hopkins appears toned and wouldn't you know it...He's talking in every pic Lol. Two big things for me....

If Joe Believes he is going to overwhelm and Out work hopkins with sheer aggression and not be called to overcome some hellacious moments Mentally and Physically like he has never before He is mistaken

If Bernard Believes he will have the luxury of Laying back and Playing pot shot artist all night with out stepping inside offensively and initiating to offset Calzaghe He is also mistaken

The intensity and fervor that night will be very palpable. Can not wait
