Joe and alot of people sought out a fight with Sven Ottke and they were all refused. As a matter of fact I've heard JC calling out Bernard and Roy Jones for the last 4-5 years. In your opinion though, why would Hopkins beat Joe?
Calzaghes never fought anyone near Hopkins' level. Sure Hopkins is old but he's crafty. I don't get what you guys see in Calzaghe. Sure his quite fast, sort of heavy handed but never really been test by a top P4P guy.
I'm with you on Joe not ever fighting someone on Bernard's level, although he's been in there with some great fighters. But what great fighters has Hopkins' destroyed? Tito is a glorified puncher, ODLH was a blown up lightweight, even though he was the better boxer in those fights he couldn't get passed Taylor's athleticism, Tarver was a joke. The only person who Hopkins' has fought thats on Calzaghe's level is Roy Jones, and he lost. What I'm trying to say is Hopkins' won't keep up with Joe's output. He can't connect with those lunging shots when Joe won't give him any distance, and Bernard can't outfight him on the inside. Thats just my opinion of why Bernard couldn't beat Joe, but in your opinion why would Joe not stand a chance? I wanna know how he does it though, saying this guys fought better than that guy helps nothing at this point mang
