Hopkins v. Calzaghe...this is a fight that I have been dreaming of for a few years now. I believe Calzaghe would handle Glenn Johnson with relative ease and I think if we are ever gonna watch Hopkins get old over night it is with a fighter exactly like Joe.
Joe has very fast hands and does not waste time figuring out opponents, he goes right after the kill from the get go. He has very good power and his chin has proven to be very sturdy.
Joe has faced bigger punchers than NArd and I feel that he would press Nard from the get go...I believe that Joe has faster hands than Hopkins and his chin and power are something that Hopkins would both feel and also be unable to exploit.
Nard will never get old fighting middleweights/Jr. Middleweights who think they can beat him in a chess match...they can't beat him in a chess match, I don't think anyone can. Calzaghes style is tailor made to give NArd a lot of trouble and it is the style that will make Nard look his age. Joe will force BErnard into a junkyard dog war from the the first round on and he will have to fight as physical a fight as any in his career.
Who wins?
This is a very close fight to call but if I had to bet the fight I would certainly bet Joe and I believe in my mind that Calzaghe is the slight favorite and you would most likely be able to get him at a price as well.
