    He fought Oscar, Taylor, Winky, Tarver, Calzaghe all the same.. Not taking anything from calzaghe, he DOES have a plan b c d etc etc, but hopkin sfought the fight he always fought.
    It had nothing to dowith Joes style..
    Winky,Tarver & Taylor fight absolutely nothing like Calzaghe though do they. He was able to fight that way against those guys.
    Wow you just proved my point, bright guy. LOL!!!

    You just admitted he fought the same fight against all of them, which is what I said -.-;
    and the question the OP asked was " do we think hopkins fought the wrong fight against calzaghe". So yes, he did fight the wrong fight.. and you seem to be in agreement by saying " but calzaghe fights different then everyone else he fought this way " < - This is the reason why he fought the wrong fight -.-;

    Hopkins is arrogant. He takes people to school, makes them look bad, and swears the fight is in the bag.
    When the verdict is in, turns out the jduges didnt agree with him. It happened twice with taylor, third time with Calzaghe.
    3 strikes, your out. He realises now that what he thinks is right isn't always right in the judges mind.. and I will say again - His loss to calzaghe
    is one of the best things that could have ever happened to him. Had he not lost to calzaghe, he would have probably fought the same fight
    against Pavlik.. but he knows now that he has to work aswell as do all the other things he's so great at.

    I don't think Winky did any worse against Bernard than Calzaghe did, in fact taking in account how much more wear on his tires, and how much smaller he was I would in the whole scheme of things Winky is a better fighter then Calzaghe p4p in terms of all time greatness, Hopkins had a harder time landing on Winky, and WInky landed IMO more left hands then Calzaghe, and neither of them really landed a whole lot of jabs though both landed a few.

    Hopkins took s!!! for granted,went into sniper mode.Calzaghe was willing and did not let Hopkins get into his head,Calzaghe basically outworked him & It caught up to Hopkins down the stretch and I KO'd the TV set with a boot.Pretty basic.

    My point wasn't aimed at you or trying to dissprove what you said, I was agreeing with you 'Bright Guy'. My point was that the way Calzaghe fought didn't allow Hopkins to do what he normally does SUCCESSFULLY.
    So by that regard Hopkins fought the wrong fight or should've adapted during the fight.
