Against Taylor Hopkins started slow both times out and if he does that against Calzaghe he will find it even harder to secure those championship rounds...

Calzaghe has way more experience and skill than Taylor, and Hopkins is in his 40's and lets face it beat Tarver, a fighter with known stamina issues in big fights...

Im a huge Hopkins fan, and really retirement seems like the only sensible option...coming back to fight Calzaghe for another one off fight, is too much of a risk IMO...
