Hopkins is always on the defensive thats his style its nothing to do with Calzaghe's power, Hopkins hasn't used his old aggressive style for years.

Thats true . Maybe Hopkins should have takaen more chances to secure a victory if he knew he had nothing to fear.

As for Joe being passed it, Id say he has evolved more so than passed it . His hand trouble in later years has stopped him from scoring any big K.O wins. He looked bad vs Hopins but who doesnt . Joe basically beat a top 3 p4p fighter on a bad performance so thats pretty impressive .

Against a fighter who doesnt come to mess about, Joe will look his old self again . If he has to chase like he did vs Hop then it wil get ugly and messy again.
