Joe Calzaghe is obviously a great fighter...

I think it would still be a close fight, I can't ignore the fact Bernard gassed late. The one greatest quality I see in Calzaghe is his toughness. He is fast, but not like prime Roy quick, he had power, but not great power, but it takes a lot of toughness to throw that many punches without worrying about what is incoming. He reminds me of a amateur fighter who is able to fight that way for 12 rounds.

Hopkins getting tired can be a big issue, but just a few more punches here and there is enough to persuade the panel imo. Plus, with 3 different judges than before, he could very possibly fight the same fight as before and eek a decision in HIS favor. His style is pretty dependant on what type of judge is at ringside.
