When it comes to who has more experience over the other. Even though Joe has the greater amateur background, Hopkins has been in the ring with much greater opponents. Hopkins is the first top pound-for-pound fighter Joe is going to be in the ring with.

Hopkins' most noteable fights are Roy Jones Jr., Trinidad, Joppy, De La Hoya, Taylor (twice), Winky, and Tarver.

Calzaghe's most noteable fights are Eubank, Lacy, Bika, and Kessler.

I would rather have a fighter who fought FEWER quality opponents than one who fights MORE less-competitive oppents...

I personally think Calzaghe is going to pull this one out, but I have never picked Hopkins to win any fight and he has proved me wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME! I just think the discussion over who is the more experienced fighter is easily given to Hopkins.
