Will Hopkins-Calzaghe Be Like Floyd-Hatton?

[DLT]

I dont know but I have a feeling that Calzaghe could lose just like Hatton. Obviously its 2 total different fights in every sense but I could see Calzaghe being labled as a great fighter with some very good wins and then coming over here to lose against the true worlds best in undeniable fashion.

It just seems weird how Calzaghe called Floyd names and said that he would run from Hatton. Then Calzaghe comes over and watches Floyd kill Hatton while standing toe to toe. I think they may have gotten in Calzaghe's head a little. I think he may realize that Lacy & Kessler are solid but there not Hopkins just like Hatton found out that Tsyzu & Castillo are solid but there not Floyd

Well the major difference is Calzaghe >>>>> Hatton and Floyd >> Hopkins.

i wouldnt really call that toe to toe...

but anyway, Calzaghe is a much different fighter then Hatton. He's very awkward, fast, and throws more punches. Calzaghe is one of those guys you really cant look good against. He makes his opposition look dumb. He's on another level then Hatton.

Calzaghe wins by a UD.

Did Mayweather go toe-to-toe with Hatton? First I knew. He tied him up and then later picked him off with speed and deadly accuracy, but not a toe-to-toe fight.

That's as toe to toe as Floyd gets, unless he has a stationary punching bag like Gatti in front of him.

No. The main difference is that Floyd is fast, and Hopkins is slower than Calzaghe.

It won't be anywhere near as bad as Hatton's beating, but Calzaghe will lose a unanimous decision. He will do good in spurts, but Hopkins style will make him reluctant to engage much. He won't be swarming Bernard with activity, because when he tries he'll eat hard, crips, counter right hands down the pipe.

I expect Calzaghe to switch styles a lot to try to figure Bernard out. 116-112 115-113 and 115-113 Hopkins.

I predict that Hopkins breaks a hip. But he might have a chance if he can land a perfect headbutt to the jaw like he did in the first Taylor fight. This will be Borenard's last fight.

calzaghe actually said the logical choice was floyd but his heart wanted him to pick Hatton because hes british and anyway calzaghe will dominate Hopkins
