Think Joe is technically the better boxer but it will take some punch off him to knock out Hopkins, and he deserves alot of credit to be fair, the guy is what 43? that must take some effort to box top class fighters at that age but I am still definetly rooting for Calzaghe. Go on Joe!

What time do we think the fight will start on Saturday? I've heard a few things and I'm tempted go to sleep and wake up for the fight.

I imagine it will be around 4am Sunday morning unfortunatly.

Has anyone seen the undercard for this fight yet? It is quite possibly one of the worst, ever.

Just seen the weigh in and thought Joe handled it very well. Hopkins tried to poke fun at him, but Calzaghe just laughed at him, took the applause from the crowd and walked off. Hopkins didn't look too happy.

Great performance from Ryan Rhodes tonight,just a matter of time before he cleaned out Woolcome.Fantastic body shots softened him up but what a punch to finish it,just hope Woolcome is okay now though.

I don't think Calzaghe will get the praise he deserves either way.

If he beats Hopkins people will say 'He's beat an old man. A has-been.'

And if he loses people will say 'We told you so. He's been a protected fighter.'

Agreed. He's arguably been one the UK's greatest ever boxers and he's definitely up there as best P4P in the World today. His work rate is superb, he throws lots of punches, he's super fit, he's fast, he's intelligent and throws punches from lots of different angles.

He'll still be undefeated this time tomorrow, I've no doubts about it.

Calzaghe has never recieved the praise he deserves in my opinion.

Really hope he knocks Hopkins out and as always he will fight a good fight.

Come on Joe.

Just seen the weigh-in video on a well known video site.



Quality, awesome support for Calzaghe too it seems.
