    Joe sees the picture much better then Nard, he can hit you from all the weird angles, he can make you exchange when you don't want it and all of his boxing manner is built on not letting you do your thing.

    This is how he got to Lacy.
    Lacy was looking for one punch, also I think Lacy got hurt in the first round and he never was the same after that. I dont think Joe has better footwork, he squares up too much which is very amateurish. Hop has better balance, stamina maybe even, adapting, chin, technical fundamentals, defense, corner, resume, big fight experience, ring generalship all go to Hopkins.

                How do you know what most fighters would have done, Kessler landed everything on Andrade and he didnt go anywhere. Look have many times Joe has been either down or hurt and get back to me. Like I said a guy he was hurt by in Brewer, Hop stopped in sparring.

                  I can't think of two fighters less alike than Winky Wright and Joe Calzaghe. Study harder.

                      Joe isn't an upgrade from Winky, he is a completely different type of fighter. Winky is a safety-first feather fisted jab-merchant, Calzaghe is a sometimes reckless hard punching boxer-swarmer.

                      Can't you think?
