I think Calzaghe did underperform and the bad start and spoiling tactics of Hopkins only cemented the struggle. Hopkins was gassing against a Calzaghe who was throwing far less than normal and a subdued Calzaghe still got it done.

Calzaghe knows what to expect of Hopkins now. And if Hopkins goes at Calzaghe like he did against Pavlik then that would be suicide for Hopkins. Calzaghe wont just stand there and take it, he would respond and wear Hopkins down something rotten.
