Hopkins could've won, probably should've won, but he didn't!!

I think his fight gives Roy Jones a good blueprint of how to fight Calzaghe but I am not sure Roy can jump in and out the way he used to....infact I am certain he won't be able to do it.

If RJJ was in his prime hell yeah I think he could beat the Calzaghe that fought last night

Without a doubt! And to be fair prime RJJ would beat any version of JC imo, BUT the JC of last night was one of the worst performances of his career imo

Well when Joe is able to throw more flurries he's more effective...he just got in too close to B-Hop and Hopkins was abloe to clinch and slow down the fight.

Both fought strategically tough fights and tried to use everything to their advantage. Hopkins slowing the pace allowing for an ugly fight and Calzaghe throwing more punches trying to keep his hands free....they were both successful at times but I think Joe won the fight fair and square.


I think RJJ is happy he won't have to fight Hopkins because IMO RJJ is too old to deal with Hopkins' style and those right crosses and headbutts would be the end of Ol' Roy

I don't think you need to fight in and out against Calzaghe, you just need to force him to come to you, and have the timing to counter him, Calzaghe comes in sometimes with ridiculous hooks that a faster fighter like Roy, even at his old age, should be able to counter, but I don't doubt he will be quick enough of foot to create the distance in order to make a fight with Calzaghe a chess match, but if he does he definitely wins IMO, just like I feel a young B-Hop I could easily see winning almost every round against Calzaghe, not because Calzaghe is ridiculously outclassed, but because he isn't a great fighter coming forward.
