He's still fast but he doesn't seem like he's got the explosiveness he used too.
Hopkins at 175 seemed to be hitting fairly hard with his right hand, look at the Tarver fight, he stunned Tarver with it more than a few times.
Anything's possible but Calzaghe's got a good enough chin, I doubt he gets hurt that badly.
Like I posted before... I guarantee Roy will knock him down and have him on queer street... Roy will punch thru the open handed blows of Joe and will land the more meaningful shots enough to discourage Joe from his usual workrate.
Hopkins throws like 5 punches around and could have easily gotten the nod in that fight, Roy will land more and will do more damage
Joe has a great chin but Roy digs to the body with the best of them and will rake Joes ribs as well
