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.
