calzaghe will beat hopkins the same way taylor beat and thats by being the busier fighter. will b hop counter calzaghes punches? of course but calzaghe throws lots of flurries and regardless of how good a counter puncher hopkins is he will not be able to counter everything. plus calzaghe ablies very smart pressure and is good at punching from different angles. plus his hand speed will be a deciding factor as well. dont get me wrong it would still be a hard fight for calzaghe but i believe he will still win.

calzaghe has the kind of style that hopkins is best at diffusing.
that said, the dude is 43 years old..
hopkins could win- this is going to be a great fight and an interesting fight. and if hopkins wins it is going to be the ugliest **** anyone's ever seen in a ring- mark my words.
hopkins is either going to finally be too old- or this is going to be a very rough-house type of fight.
but i just want to say that style wise, joe doesn't have anything hopkins doesn't mentally know how to deal with. dealing with it physically is the question thanks to his age.
and joe is definitely a great fighter.

I can see B Hop counter Joe A LOT becaue he doesn't extend his punches a lot and Mikk Kessler was doing that a lot in the early rounds.

Kessler is quicker but couldnt really land his straight shots like he wanted to.
I think peole are under estimating Calzaghe.

See this makes me curious, because as far as I can tell the two fighters most similar to Calzaghe that Hopkins have faced would (in my opinion) be Jones and Taylor, and Hopkins lost to them both. And Taylor is NOWHERE NEAR Calzaghe's level.

Originally posted by freedom213 View PostHopkins knows how to fight South paws and he will dominate Calzaghe with straight punching thru the middle. Calzaghe has the perfect style for Hopkins, he throws wide shots, he doesnt really have much of a jab, and he relies on volume punching. What will he do when Hopkins shows him movement and neutralizes his abiltity to get off? What will he do when the old man hit him with hard rights down the middle and gets his respect early? Hopkins will make this fight look easy.
Finally a perfect opinion Hopkins will eat Calzaghe alive,because of those reasons B-Hop has that ability in all his fights to take his opponents best weapon away.
