Calzaghe was a swarmer, Hopkins is a slick counterpuncher. Both won by 10-2, but Calzaghe embarassed him, while Hopkins just won rounds and took it easy.
I don't want to offend you BHOP lovers but BHOP struggles against boxers with speed thats why he gets dirty against them. Against fighters with avrg to slow speed BHOP doesn't need to be dirty. I don't remember him being dirty at all against Ornelas. And you can't just point at Roys age and say thats why he doesn't handle speed too well, I mean he was clearly outboxed by Roy in their first meeting. Though you can argue BHOP was far from his prime when they first fought.
BHOP from what I've heard was dirty in this Roy Jones Jr fight, though I didn't see it but BHOP also headbutted Calzaghe and Wright and was clinching them to try and beat them and slow them down. BHOP however fought beautifully against fighters like Pavlik, Ornelas, Tarver(I actually forget this fight, was he clean in this fight?)
