Joe Calzaghe???????

[Markusdarkus]

Hopkins was hurt by a right hook to the body in the 11th you can hear him grunt and Dan (slim) Rafael said as soon as it landed a huge grimace befell Hopkins, Bernards body got taxed by Calzaghe weather people want to admit it or not.

Hopkins was hurt in that fight.

B-Hop is over 40 years old....he's hurt when he wakes up in the morning the fact he took Joe the distance and damn near beat him (and in some people's opinions he did beat him....not mine of course) is pretty damn tough to explain away when Joe is in his prime and "the best pound for pound fighter" as his fans tout him to be.

I will be the first to admit either Calzaghe is on the slide or it was just an off night. I really think Joe and his Dad thought they would just have to turn up and not realise how good even this Hopkins is.

I guess time will tell if Joe is fading and weather Hopkins really is that good still.

My opinion is Hopkins is the worst possible match up for Calzaghe and he did not appreciate what the old dog brought to the table.

i will add thins, Calzaghe has sublime footwork and Hopkins shut him down pretty well, what is he going to do with a crude plodder who has never fought at smw?
