Size advantage is actually to Calzaghe.
He's a fighter that wants to work of activity defensive movement and slips. It pays for him to be sleeker and smaller;)

I don't have Vegas but British oddsmaker place Hopkins as a 3 to 1 underdog... I'm thinking of putting some real money on B-Hop... The odds is so tempting... ;)Quote:

B-Hop clearly has the experience advantage being 20 years in boxing with a total of 54 fights. Joe has 44 total fights in 15 years...Quote:

B-Hop also has the tougher opponents...
Fight week is great hearing the arguements from both sides in a fight like this is always interesting cause really nobody is wrong or right (except about who's bigger, b-hop definatly is for what it's worth against joe) most opinions here make sense so we'll just have to wait and see, total toss up in my book.
Calzaghe also has a pretty nifty amateur record that you might want to consider.Quote:

There's no experience ADVANTAGE. Both these guys have been fighting their entire lives.. at the very TOP for donkeys years
Hopkins has HOME advantage. Maybe Calzaghe wont handle fighting in Hopkins backyard.. but i doubt it.
That shoving with Winky was a marketing ploy... Hopkin's "I'll never lose to a white boy..." is enough to sell more tickets...Quote:

Older guys has the experience advantage... Hopkins is 43 while Joe is 36... Hopkins already experienced everything (i think) but Joe has one thing he hasn't experience yet... that is LOSING a fight...Quote:
