    :dunno: I see Hopkins as high as +235. I favor Calzaghe in the fight but this shit isn't in Britain and +235 is way to high.

    Sounds about right. I don't see how Hopkins could win this fight.

    By his bullshit tactics that he is allowed to get away with. I cashed in when he got to +150 against Wright, think this will be a good bet to.

    Calzaghe's bigger and better than Wright. Worse, his style's all wrong for Hopkins.

    5dimes started Hopkins with +130 and is now up to +180. I'm a bit dumb not to bet Calzagh early because i knew it was gonna go like this...

    Tarver was overrated after beating Roy Jones. Remember how everyone had Tarver in their top 10s, pound-for-pound? Hopkins was simply a better fighter. Now, Calzaghe is a better fighter.

    Listen to yourself.

    Tarver BEAT ROY JONES.

    Calzaghe beat Kessler and Lacy, not even worth a comparison to Jones.

    Roy Jones after he moved back down from heavyweight was not the same Roy Jones. Glencoffe Johnson, a fairly ordinary fighter in most respects, easily beat him, and Jones is being kept away from all but the safest possible opponents, like that fat, old welterweight he's fighting pretty soon.

    Hopkins is great at taking away his opponents biggest weapon. He took Titos left hook away, Tarvers left hand and Winkys jab.

    Hopkins has underated defence and is very hard to hit. I also think he is a faster at throwing one punch at a time. Calzaghe has better speed in combination.

    Hops will know this and will be looking to land 1 punch and lock up. Calzaghe is going to be trying to land combos and to hit Nard it is going to take combinations.

    Ill root for Calzaghe but i think Bernard will win and it will be be a terrible fight.

    Calzaghe/Hopkins should've happened 5 years ago. Not interested at the least anymore.

    True

    Frankly, the fact that it is happening at all even now is a source of amazement to me.

    B-Hops has always been the antidote for a good southpaw.
    Calzaghe will have his hands full even with an old Hopkins
