This fight really made me respect Cal's mental toughness. Leading up to the bout, Hops was pulling his usual intimidation tactics but it didnt work cuz calzaghe wasn't having none of that shit. He wasn't gonna let this ghetto fabulous get inside his head and good for him..

I love calzaghe for owning this ghetto ignorant man. He just laughed at Hop's foolish comments as any superior man would do. He stood up to the bully and humiliated him ...

What a great fighter Calzaghe was..
Calzaghe was an exceptional fighter, he would have beaten Hopkins from any stage in Hopkins career. Calzaghe got it wrong in the early rounds, but once he figured the old fool out it was a case of coasting it with a little rough and tumble in the second half.

Clear and convincing Calzaghe win.
Calzaghe was an exceptional fighter but it was clear that the only reason Hopkins lost to Joe was because of his stamina at 43 years old.

A younger Hopkins like the one that fought Trinidad would have more than enough stamina to consistently tag Calzaghe when he came in. He wouldn't just box from the outside either. He would get inside on Joe and do even more damage.

I'm not saying Joe wouldn't have his moments, i just think a younger Hopkins is too well rounded for Calzaghe.
