    Hopkins doesn't have his usual size advantage in this fight either.
    Joe wins this with a wide UD.
    At any point of the last 10 years.

      Of course B-Hop would have beaten him 6 years ago so he'll definitely beat him now. Undefeated vs. southpaws and is one of the best counter punchers in the game. Being awkward and throwing punches isn't enough to beat Hopkins; you have to expose his age with athleticism and Calz can't do that by simply trying to come foward and brawl while throwing wind mills. Hopkins' skill level is way above Calzaghe's. Hopkins by U.D...

        I like Hopkins but he should stop being hypocritical. He has fought outside America once which is less than Calzaghe.

          Everbody's saying Joe this and Joe that but, Hopkins is a vet...and a technician at making fighters fight HIS fight HIS way and if that happens Joe will just be another statistic.

              Joe is bigger than Hopkins usual competition too.
              The bully boy won't have a size advantage.

                Yeah, like the size advantage he had over Antonio Tarver.

                    And believe it or not guys, one night Bhop is going walk into the ring and "get old over night". I think the fast pace, a lot of punches Joe C style is a bad match for him. The more active the fighter the worse off he is. EX. Winky flat footed. Now JT was more alive and had 2 wins. It disrupts his chess match.

                      I don't see Hopkins beating Calzaghe right now. In fact, I think he gets outpointed and battered should the two square off today. Hops showed signs of slowing down against Winky, I don't like his chances against a lefty with hand speed, foot speed, skills, power, a chin and the experience Calzaghe brings to the table. NO WAY.
