    Funnily enough I would say Hopkins' rough style would be the way to do it, but I don't think Hopkins has the gas or the workrate to pull it off.

      Clone a younger version of Calzaghe and make him fight himself, that's the only it can be done.

        James Toney has a style suited to beat Calzaghe, I don't think he would though.

        I think Hopkins has a good style too, he will land the cleaner and bigger shots which make the crowd go "oooh" but that will only be because Calzaghe fights off balance. Calzaghe will win on handspeed and workrate.

          I seriously hope that you're not betting on Calzaghe

              It would be a good fight, but Toney does have a good style for that

                yea I always thought that someone like james toney/Mayweather would fit to beat calzaghe. someone who could stay in the pocket, block and then pic their counter shots

                  A pinpoint counter puncher with a good workrate like a younger James Toney.
