hopkins v calzaghe

[lebowski]

:box:

another "super fight" set for 2008.

calzaghe will have to step up in weight, and will also fight in the US for the first time in his career.

despite his undoubted class, hopkins is 42 now (43 in a few weeks) and by the time the fight comes round will have been out of the ring for almost a year, and with only 2 fights since 2005.

as long as joe knuckles down in his training (apparently, for the first time in his career he absolutely hated training for the kessler fight) then he should win this one.

[strooood]

hopkins is a spent force, calzaghe is gonna do the business. he's one of the best ever.
