joe may well win.....that`s why he`s a 2-1 fave......speed does give b.hop trouble.....and you guys are right...bernard is 43.....he`ll have to hit the wall at some point...
maybe here...
but, i don`t think calzaghe and taylor are similar...
certainly no comparisons can be drawn from calzaghe`s win over a come at you stand-up european style fighter like kessler and hopkins...
matter of fact,who,from calzaghe`s resume,can be compared to hopkins?...calzaghe`s fought an awful lot of stiff,raw or one dimensional guys...
and this is at 168 isn`t it?....i actually think that benefits b.hop...he always looked emaciated at 160.....
how`s joe gonna react to not having every advantage on his own turf?...how`s he gonna react to that insane roughhouse style that bernard imposes on most guys...
this won`t be kessler at arms length allowing joe to move him around..or an unskilled lacy...or sheika...or a stiff mario veit....
calzaghe`s opponents since 2000...
David Starie,Omar Sheika,Richie Woodhall,Mario Veit,Will McIntyre,Charles(the chin) Brewer,Miguel Angel Jimenez,Tocker Pudwill,Byron Mitchell,Mger Mkrtchian,Kabary Salem,Mario Veit,Evans Ashira,Jeff Lacy,Sakio Bika,Peter Manfredo Jr,Mikkel Kessler....
he fought veit the second time in germany...and macintyre in denmark...every other fight vs this murderer`s row was in the u.k....
how many h.o.f.`ers in that group?...
..now he`s got crafty old bernard...who`s an inch and a half taller.....the consumate counter puncher...who knows what to do with a lefty....
all i`m sayin` is,this is not a slam dunk for joe....imo....
be careful...
and btw..night caller...think hard about that under,brother...these guys don`t stop so easily...
