Why's that? I think their styles clash big time, makes for an interesting match if nothing else..
I think perhaps Joe would be cagey and wouldn't commit wheras Bernard would be sneaking round the outside attacking and clinching.

I dont see a huge punch-up occuring at any point.

Well considering this would be the mega fight of Calzaghes career, you'd think he should commit, or at least know that he would have to in order to win.. He's not going to beat Hopkins by fighting like him, tactically from the outside.. he'd need to be busy and try and work on the inside. I could see a Hopkins win being boring if indeed Joe doesn't commit.. But I think Calzaghe could make Hopkins fight at this point in his career, and he'd certainly have to try..
I think that Calzaghe woulnd't even try to fight it from the outside if they did get it together in the ring, he's at his best when he's harassing fighters and throwing punches from all angles. I can't imagine him being cagey unless he's 10 rounds up with two to go, and then I might suggest he's entitled to.
Yea thats what Id expect/hope for... Hopkins has also been in his element against just that sort of fighter as well, plus Joes a southpaw. I think Calzaghe could beat Hopkins and set a pace that would be a bit much if it went the distance, but at the same time a southpaw who stays busy, comes forward and throws alot of punches, leaves Hopkins with a lot of oppourunities to do what he does best as well... I think it'd be a great matchup personally.
