    How about the trainer advantage? I think this also goes to Bernard... Freddie Roach is much better trainer compared to Enzo Calzaghe...


    Coach Roach Promises That Hopkins Will Stop Calzaghe In Later Rounds!
    Roach can be full of it sometimes.
    Yep, Roach overdo it sometimes... but I still consider Roach the better coach, trainer and cornerman compared to Enzo...

    So the advantages are ...

    Size: Hopkins
    Corner/Coach: Hopkins
    Speed: Calzaghe
    Age: Calzaghe
    Power: Hopkins
    Experience: Hopkins
    Workrate: Calzaghe


    .
    How does Hopkins have the experience advantage?

    B-Hop clearly has the experience advantage being 20 years in boxing with a total of 54 fights. Joe has 44 total fights in 15 years...

    B-Hop also has the tougher opponents...

    Calzaghe also has a pretty nifty amateur record that you might want to consider.

    Exactly.


    There's no experience ADVANTAGE. Both these guys have been fighting their entire lives.. at the very TOP for donkeys years

    Hopkins has HOME advantage. Maybe Calzaghe wont handle fighting in Hopkins backyard.. but i doubt it.

    Older guys has the experience advantage... Hopkins is 43 while Joe is 36... Hopkins already experienced everything (i think) but Joe has one thing he hasn't experience yet... that is LOSING a fight...

    Hopkins has more life experience because he is older.. doesn't mean he has more boxing experience.

    And yeah Joe don't know how to lose.. That's a HUGE advantage in his favour.

    Add that to your list.

    Depends on how you look at it... Sometimes it's a burden to think that there might be a time when your "0" has to go... When you lose already, you're not afraid of losing anymore... no more pressure...

    Another thing Joe hasn't experience yet... fighting away from home (aside from one in Germany)... How Joe gonna handle this?

    Not knowing how to lose is not always an advantage. Just because Joe has fought bums and won. It is actually a disadvantage. When he steps in the ring with someone of Hopkins calibur when things start going down hill, or not exactly the way he wants he will get worried. Plus not knowing what it's like to loose he will not have that motivation of not wanting to loose again. Therefore the extra boost you can get from that feeling will not be there to take. Loosing for the first time is more of a creep up and bite you in the ass thing anyway.

    How does Hopkins have the experience advantage?
    21 years of pro experience, more fights, better opposition.
