Calzaghe Will Be The Most Dangerous Challenge And Threat To Hopkins So Far

It's hard to go against Hopkins at this point or any other time TBH...Just when you think he is losing a step he proves everyone wrong with a performance better then ever....

With that being said the Same goes for Calzaghe....Every time you think this will be the one he puts on a masterpiece....

This is a hard one...I think the biggest factor will be I guess what you would call "Fighting"....For lack of a better term....Hopkins is slick and he knows all the old school tricks...the little things that turn things from a boxing match to a Fight...Hitting the hip, stepping on the foot...Holding and hitting,,,cheap shots etc....not calling Hopkins dirty just saying he knows how to use the little things to throw a guy off...Not really sure how Joe will react to some of those tactics?....

The again when was the last time Hopkins had a guy outright pursue him in the ring?....Not giving him time to get off and sneak in the little things?....We all know Hopkins does not like a fast pace and will avaoid it at all cost...Hell it cost him not only his title but the chance to regain it....Fact is that traight started becoming really eveident as his biggest flaw in the Eastman bout...Howard was giving B-Hop all he could handle for the 1st 6.....

This is a pickem IMO...Like I said everytime you count one of these guys out they prove you wrong...With them going against each other you almost think that any choice you make could be the wrong one

Being a huge Hopkins fan...this will be my second time voting against him.

The first was against Tarver & the weight disparity.

This time...I'm going with four things in opposition...age, speed, accuracy, & awkwardness.

Calzaghe will either beat him...or make him look horrible as fuck!
