I don't think Calzaghe was any different in this fight, I was watching B-Hop vs Wright and Tarver, and I never believed Calzaghe's speed was much superior than Bernard's especially how quickly they think in the ring I thought B-HOp was always faster than Calzaghe in the regard. However I was surprised by how effective footwork is against Calzaghe, I mean I always knew Calzaghe is IMO pretty poorly balanced, and that he needs to set up to throw punches, but B-HOp really limited Calzaghe offense arsenal both in close and when they were fighting from a distance. I think Calzaghe has a really hard time chasing opponents down which is understandable when your used to fighting a certain way, but B-HOp made Calzaghe fight his fight, and B-Hop won this fight... imo.
