    Calzaghe has too many styles, he can do anything, he only makes 'mistakes' when he knows he can get away with them. Calzaghe is more skilled, faster, stronger, smarter, more determined. Joe beats Hopkins every day of the week, any version of Hopkins, eleven times out of ten.

    This is comparing entirely different levels of talent and skill, kind of like Hatton-Mayweather. BUt in this case also it's interesting, since Hop will make Joe earn it, as Hatton will do for Mayweather.

      You are a disgrace. Hopkins has a skillset Calzaghe can only dream of, while Calzaghe has unorthodoxies than maybe Bernard can only dream of (not that he'd want to)

        You picked Manfredo to beat Calzaghe. You've long invalidated your "opinion" -- in quiotes because even you never believe what you type -- on this topic.

          Hopkins makes fewer mistakes - damn right he does, but the mistakes Calzaghe makes, I don't think Hopkins has the handspeed to capitalize on it.

          What it boils down to in my humble opinion is this - you all saw the Bika fight, and you all saw how many problems a genuinely dirty fighter gave Calzaghe, and who's the dirtiest fighter of 'em all?

          Guessed it in one.

          This will definitely be worth waiting for.
          Calzaghe: "Though Kessler talks about coming to pressurize me, he's not dull. He knows I'm a great counterpuncher who's always struggled more with fighters who stand back..."

          This is Calzaghe's foil in his own words. ^

                    Hopkins will lead with his head causing a huge cut to form from an "accidental" headbutt and it will **** with Calzaghe just like it did with Winky. There will be tons of clinching too. I'm sorry, I just do not find Hopkins to be exciting and think he fights dirty. People on here ***** about Ricky Hatton and his clinching CONSTANTLY but you hear very little of that talk when it comes to Hopkins and his nonsense. I hope Calzaghe destroys him.

                      I agree with most of that. But I wouldnt say anyone is more determined than B-hop or that joe is stronger.
