Bernard Hopkins lost to Jermain Taylor, but returned in 2006 and 2007 to defeat favorites Winky Wright and Antonio Tarver. Wright and Tarver were both respectively top pound for pound at the time that Bernard beat them. Should Bernard prevail against undefeated super middleweight king Joe Calzaghe in their light heavyweight fight on April 19, this will mark the 3rd top 5 pound for pound fighter he has defeated. This will mark the 3rd consecutive time the 43 year old fighter has defied logic and beaten one of boxing's outstanding performers. If Hopkins upsets Joe and gives him his first loss, does he deserve to replace Floyd as pound for pound best in the world?

We've been back and forth quite a bit on who we are picking to win in terms of the fight on Saturday. Watching Joe in his performace against Mikkel Kessler, and Bernard's less inspiring victory over Winky, we were initially picking Joe. But Bernard has so much more experience over Joe in every facet of the game. He fights in United States, he has fought overseas, and we can name 5 great fighters, victory or in defeat, that Hopkins has been in the ring with. We can not name one on Calzaghe's record. Joe is a good fighter. He can fight, but he's shown that how well he fights against the quality of opposition that he has faced up to this point, in the comfort of his country and home town.

Joe will be going to throw a large number of punches, which will leave him open for many shots in return. Bernard throws more punches than people give him credit. He outworked Winky, when people felt it would be the other way around. His defense is also underrated. Look for Joe to take the first few rounds, then Hopkins will adjust. But as the fight progresses, Joe will get sloppier, as Hopkins begins to counter with the crisper and more accurate punches that will take their toll on the Welshman. You will then see Bernard begin to outwork the Welshman in the later rounds. Hopkins will not knock out Joe, but he will whoop him over 12 rounds.

Joe is a good fighter with potential for greatness . Bernard is a great fighter with potential for all-time greatness and is guaranteed to be in the Hall of Fame. Joe does not have the punching power to hurt Bernard. The fight might not necessarily e the prettiest, cleanest, or most pleasing thing to watch, but Bernard will get the job done.
