Seriously I dont think Hopkins has much of a chance in this fight, Sorry but the truth is the work rate of Hopkins vs the Workrate of calzaghe will be the factor in this fight.
and yes Hopkins has yet to lose against a southpaw there is always a first for everything especially knowing that Hopkins just ekked out a close win over south paw Winky Wright who is slower than Calzaghe and throws fewer shots than Calzaghe, knowing this Joe must have seen the tape to know which shots will work and which shots wont.
there is no film out there for Roach and Jackson to look up on how to beat Calzaghe becuase Joe has yet to be defeated and its highley unlikely that he will learn how to lose come april. I think Hopkins himself knows this is a final big payday maybe he will get another, but look at history, Hopkins has not done well against guys who have good hand speed ie: Taylor twice and Jones once, I have to go with Calzaghe here, I understand the hard core BHop fans sticking with their man through the fire, but I am staying on the side of whats real here, not saying that those who support Hopkins dont know what they are talking about I just figure and guess that most who are picking hopkins in this fight, are pure Hopkins fans to the death, hell just as I am a Holyfield fan until the death and will support him even though he has long been dead and burried, but the truth is Hopkins is well in over his head in this fight he knows it and his fans know it.
Calzaghe has more stamina then any other fighter out there. This is a ****** prediction, if any thing Hopkins would have to get extremly lucky and stop calzaghe early. Calzaghe is a known fighter to get better down the stretch.

or
you scared.??
That actually means you're scared, obviously in the back of your mind you believe calzaghe will come out with a win but you probably side with hopkins because he is ........................... he won't go 50/50 with you because he doesn't believe hopkins will win

I believe hopkins has trouble with only orthodox fighters with decent speed & power...which roy & jermaine had....if u wanna be real then B-Hop is undefeated vs. Southpaws...and I know Calzaghe is undefeated period. I just don't think he has enough pop (not slaps) at the end of his punches to do any damage to ol' popkins...Joe can adjust HIS style...but B-Hop adjust to HIS opponent's style, there's a difference.... I'm picking B-Hop by SD..
I can't stand Hopkins honestly so I'm not in his favor. I actually hope to see him get KO'd for that ****** "I'll never lose to a white boy" comment. The dude is an all time great but he's extremely arrogant and can be ignorant at times. Haven't seen him hurt too often so I'm hoping to see Joe punish this man over a course of a few rounds and it not end on a one hit quit.
