    I have learnt boxing, your point about RJJ beating Calzaghe is moot as Hopkins didn't beat him either. Calzaghe makes alot of "mistakes" he comes forward leaves his chin open but the thing is his chin is granite and he comes forward throught punches. Hopkins at 43 doesn't have the level of stamina he once had reagrdless whether he is still a great fighter.
    Calzaghe thrrew 1010 punches against Lacy and he didn't look even a little tired, this plays out to calzaghe's advantage obviously. Hopkins will try to counter and may tag him hard a few times in the fight but Kessler who isn't as smart as Hopkins but is mor eathletic at this stage couldn't tag him coming in and didn't have the power to stop him neither will Hopkins. Taylor had a come forward style and he "beat" Hopkins barely Calzaghe who is much better that Taylor will do the same but with a wider margin.
    Taylor didnt not come forward against Hopkins at any point in time.

      thats because Joe got nothing in return landed on him!...if Joe gets tagged with damaged accumulation then I guarantee he'll get tired, that and his output will drop. Plus if u notice the way B-Hop punches its as if he's stabbing u with his knuckles...6 inch punches... different force & physicality the way Hopkins punches I'm telling u, there's methods to his punching ability.....no pop, but very forceful...
