    Should be good. Seemingly Hopkins has been quoted as saying that a white man will never beat him!

    before hattons fight he said to calzaghe that he would never let a white boy beat me.Imagine if Calzaghe had said id never let a black guy beat me?wouldnt have been passed off as a side remark then.
    Should be a great fight

    :eek::confused:If there was ever a fight that was sure to go the distance , this is it.

    Hiopkins is getting his free bus-pass in 20 years ,..... isnt it amazing how he still goes forward beating people against all the odds !!!!
    Hopkins is a master at figuring out styles, Joe will be found out sooner rather than later,
    I dont know why Joe C is bothering ,......... what type of credit can you take from fighting one of the oldest boxers on the circuit?.......
    now compare it with what he has to lose !

    I'll go with the B-hop to win on points , cant see the american judges awarding points for piff-paff pattering. B-hop will raise the belt with one hand and his colostomy bag in the other.

    I actually think this will go down like the mayweather hatton fight, step up in class for joe and he'll run out of ideas, or age will catch up with hopkins and calzaghe will scrape out a points win..

    Big Ears, you've certainly set your stall out early !
    I too believe Calzaghe will win, but every round ??

    I think Joe will just simply outwork him, but with Hopkins being the 'name' and it being in America don't rule out a clear Calzaghe win coming down to a split decision or something similar.
