      Yeah my money is on Joe aswell. I believe his speed will be too much for Hopkins to handle at his age, so Hopkins WILL lose to a white guy in my book.

          Calzaghe by UD. Joe's handspeed and workrate will win him this one.

                Well Hopkins has only had one fight there, plus the one at 170 with Winky, so I think it's probably pretty much even. Should be a good fight, Hopkins' defense is too good and Cals hands too bad for Joe to get a knockout. I pick Joe by UD, superior workrate and speed, fresher legs, fresher period.

                  Yup, true . Hopkins has an excellent defense, but I believe as you mentioned that Calzaghe has the workrate and speed to break that defense down!

                    Calz UD, he could practically shut the old man out.
