I may aswell copy my reply from the other thread.
I have to back Calzaghe in this one, and i think speed will be the main factor on fight night. There's alot of talk of Hopkins counter punching, but i don't think he will be fast enough to hit JC on a regular basis - certainly not enough to win the fight. Another area i think B-Hop is banking on is his inside game, fighting Joe in the clinch, but i see this as one of Joe's strongest areas so i don't think Bernard will have much of an advantage there - if at all.
Calzaghe UD.

I'll copy too.
I think Calzaghe has a bit too much for Hopkins. I think he'll win by a comfortable points margin.
HOWEVER, I am concerned about how Joe will react to the kind of BIG fight atmosphere that only Vegas can generate. I'm not saying he hasn't fought in big fights. He has. But he has never faced the level of media intrusion he's likely to run smack into in the run-up to April.
Hatton's trainers claimed he was drained by the 24/7 circus and all that went with it. How will Calzaghe - the boy from the middle of nowhere - react? For almost all of his career he's found it impossible to be recognised by the media. Hatton, OTOH, was always the media darling in Britain.
On the other side there's Hopkins, who knows this routine better than a dozen Mayweathers.
It's the one imponderable for me. As a Calzaghe fan it's the issue that worries me most. I suspect Enzo shares similar worries ...Comment
