    Calzaghe would need to fight his own fight, he gave Hopkins to much respect especially after being caught early on, was funny because me and my brother thought it was a slip at the stadium until we saw the replay on the monitor, personally I gave Hopkins rounds 1, 2 & 10 and the rest to Calzaghe, but I know people on the other side of the stadium who had it as a draw, so was pretty intresting.

      joe needs to utilize the uppercut, and or hook everytime bhop lunges in with his head down. i think those punches would be ultra effective for joe. i also want to see more of a jab, and getting up on his toes and moving more would be tougher and help breakdown bhop's style and help him a bit. finally joe needs to stay outside more, and not get ****** inside as much because as soon as joe went in he got caught up in the clinching game, and was non effective. .

        Calzaghe would win easy, once he got used to B-Hop's style he figured him out completely.

          i would teach Slappzaghe how to punch first even tho i dont like him...he still needs to learn how he punches like a ***** and has no power with those pitter patters most the time...most the time..lol..hop i would make the lil bastard throw some 3punch combos and not b scared and attack...didnt look like Joe had power to hurt him and he saw that just didnt do anything bout it...

            Calzaghe should just wear him down , have a reall high work rate as Hopkin's stamina is suspect.

              I think Calzaghe would throw a hook when B-hop came in with his lunging right, and stepping back rather than trying to block it. This would take away any clinching B-Hop would try get and give a chance to land proper.

              Hopkins would throw more and try KO joe, he showed he still has the ability to knock him down, but he never capitalised after that knockdown to finish him off.

                I'd tell Calzaghe to move in and out more, use his footwork, try to draw Hopkins into throwing his right hand lead with his head down and then take a step back and counter with an uppercut, throw more body shots and let his hands go a bit more.

                For Hopkins, I'd tell him to put his punches together, don't rely on 1 punch at a time and work Calzaghe's body more.

                  I'd tell them both to cancel the fight, because that fight was just ridiculously boring, with nothing to get excited over.

                    I would gouge my eyes out. The first fight was mediocre, the second would probably be outright boring.
