It's the logical fight for both guys. Wether its entertaining or not is irrelevent.

It will be messy, but imho Calzaghe will outwork him for the win, it would have been a great fight 5 years ago, and I'd give Hopkins a better shot then. Comparinsons with the Bika and Salem fights don't matter that much IMO since Joe proves to be up for the occasion in the bigger fights.

The only way I see Hopkins winning is if he gets Joe into a real dogfight with loads of fouls, even then he needs a dodgy ref to allow it, and even dodgier judges to score him the rounds. Don't get me wrong, it'll be a tough night for Joe, but he'll win the rounds on workrate. It's unlikely B-hop will be able to KO him too, though Calzaghe can be vulnerable to single punch counters, he can take them, and B-hop doesn't have the workrate anymore to wear him down.
