I love Joe Calzaghe!

Just out of interest what makes you think Kelly will beat Popkins?
Don't be so sure he will fella,Pop will frustrate Pavlik and put him in a place he's never been before and he bangs harder than Taylor and Taylor had him their for the taking

I like Pavlik as a fighter and a person but his fans for the bit part at totally insane.

Come on. Kelly done a stupid thing in the first fight and dropped his hands. Who knows why. But he won't do that again. Pavlik will win an ugly UD against Mary Popkins. Popkins is so defensive nowadays. It's almost like the opppnent carries a disease he backs off that much. It's almost as bad as watching Cory Spinks.

WTF are you on about fella
Hopkins dropped Joe in round 1?
Are you trying to say he did it by accident while "on the defensive"
Tell you what IF he'd have follwed that attack up and put it on Joe through round 2 we might not be having this conversation.
Hopkins can hit and Kelly can be hit 50-50 fight imo.

Hopkins was on the defensive for the 12 rounds. Even the fukking Ring Magazine agrees with me. Hopkins never dictated the pace at all. He backed off all night.

it's been years since hopkins has been on the offensive.. hopkins is a counter puncher, he's not going to come at you.. lee is correct..

anyway, you're right by saying that if hopkins followed up he would've had a chance to get joe out of there, but he did absolutely nothing int he second half of the fight, and it STILL was close.. Joe Calzaghe was so apprehensive in the beginning of that fight to throw a punch it was funny.. thing is he could've did what he did in the last 5ish rounds the whole fight, Hopkins doesn't throw a punch..

Kelly's output will win him the fight alone..

Bernard Hopkins bangs harder at Light Heavyweight than Jermain Taylor at Middleweight P4P ? i don't think so somehow.
