don't matter shit what age hopkins is or isn't

ROy was big enough to come out and say joe was to good a fighter to risk with the reward he would of gaine from it. hopkins can't say that, he fought nobodys after the breakdown of a career high pay day (then) to fight joe.

Hopkins is a counter puncher that works well against piss poor fightrs or vastly smaller fighters. every time he has fought a good natural talent at said weight he has lost. EVERY time.

we all know the aftermath will be joe beat a "40+" fighter. but anyone who thinks hopkins will be remotley competetive in this fight is as pissed as i am now.
I don't drink and secondly your underrating Hopkins far too much, you will be eating your words i guarantee you that, if Hopkins loses it won't be by stoppage no way on this earth, and it for certain won't be by one sided decision loss. Your bad mouthing Hopkins but won't this be the best opponent Calzaghe has ever fought by far ??

It will be a Great achievement when Joe wins as he is going up in weight and beating the man universally recognised as the No.1 Light Heavyweight in the World.

Kessler is still a better scalp though interms of ability at this stage of their careers (Hopkins/Kessler)
