Slow start from Calzaghe but he strolled it on home from the 4th onwards. Calzaghe won that fight by a considerable margin. As the fight went on he forced Hopkins to fight at his pace and outlanded Hopkins something ridiculous. Not a difficult fight to score and in polls I have done on this most people have Joe winning.

Just maybe Calzaghe didn't care for a rematch because he felt the same as what popular opinions suggests which was a convincing Calzaghe victory.

A rematch would go the same way except Calzaghe wouldn't be a sucker for the lead right in the first round.
