I'm banking on Hopkins to do what he does best, and that's offset his opponet. It's no secret that Calzaghe throws punches in bunches and he's a very active and hyper guy to fight. But what Hopkins does best is offset the rhythm of his opponets, and I don't think he gets any credit for doing so.
Constant aggression is not the key to beating Bernard Hopkins, I think you have to beat him in spurts of mixed energy and counterpunching. If Joe rushes in on Bernard I can't see anything but Hopkins countering with that overhand right, and quickly tying Joe up to offset his rhythm.
Wash, rinse and repeat. People forget how amazing Hopkins looked against Tarver not long ago, he had a horribly ugly fight with Wright and that's what people focus on. Still, despite the ugliness I didn't find more than 4 rounds to give to Wright. He played into Bernard's gameplan the entire fight.Comment
