Hopkins would kill him with angles just like Calzaghe did. He also won't give him a target to counter punch. Hopkins by points / late stoppage.

I think I'd go with Hopkins by stoppage. Like battheman said, Hopkins would probably be a stylistic nightmare for Kessler since he's a basic standup 1-2 fighter. I predicted Calzaghe's style would cause Kessler problems for the same reason. In addition Calzaghe was able to hurt Kessler with a couple shots that didn't even seem big so I question Kessler's ability to take a punch.
Another thing is that Kessler is not a pressure fighter which would probably work in Hopkins favor since this would likely reduce the chance of any stamina issues since the fight could be kept in the middle of the ring.Comment
