I sat back and thought about it, Calzaghe has definetly earned my respect after I was one of his biggest detractors and I can call myself a bonafied fan of the man after how he handled his business with Kessler. Hopkins will never have faced anyone like Calzaghe, who can match him for size and body density along with Joe having an unreal workrate in which he will be windmilling Hopkins all nite, also Hopkins wont be able to manhandle Calzaghe like alot of his other opponents.

In his super fights after Jones Hopkins has always been the bigger man or was fighting someone that was moving out of their natural weight

Trinidad
Delahoya
Wright

Calzaghe will be more than just fine putting on 7 lbs, he will be capable of putting it on Nard... As crafty as Hopkins is I am pretty certain Joe will duff him up pretty bad, unfortunately Joe will get "0" credit for wiping out Hopkins since he is 40+ years old
