    So... Hopkins is faster? I do agree that in most departments I would have to side with Hopkins as well.. It's just that speed and workrate are incredibly in Joe's favour in this fight. Hop will have more power, be stronger in close, he's definetly the smarter boxer, he's far craftier... But Joe is no slouch in any of those departments. I just see Calzaghe's advantages being more signifigant, if not as numerous.. I am actually very excited about this fight.. If Hopkins manages to win his legend will be undoubted.

    Ok, I'll give it to you that Joe is faster. I over looked that one.

    This will be a pretty emphatic win for Calzaghe. Kessler was a significantly bigger threat than this old version of BHop. Calzaghe will toy with him and will no doubt get tagged a few times...but having said that...Hopkins has never in his career been in with someone who will make him work as hard as he will need to. 5 years ago this was a great fight, now the result is obvious. Calzaghe by decisive points margin.
