    Hopkins, with these fighters in mind, will attempt to employ any tactics necessary to beat Calzaghe.

    This may result in a great fight, but not in the commonly perceived context.
    A great fight for me is where one fighter overcomes another equal or greater foe, using intelligence, guile and strategy along with his physical abilities.

    This fight excites me for that reason.
    technical fight several years overdue.

    Well that might be true, but Calzaghe has come into his best in the last 4 years. He was a lot more careless and less skilled before that.

    In turn Hopkins has matured into a great fighter, far from his young gunslinging days.

    So this time may be the best to see the two against each other as a spectacle.

    Taking into account Hopkins' hard head, Calzaghe's hands, Calzaghe's speed and Hopkins' age, there's a myriad of possible storylines that we could see.
    (Another storyline is of course a lullaby of a fight.)
