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.
Calzaghe fights the same in every fight. he looked no different against nard than he did others. Difference is Nard is so slippery. He wouldn't do any better. He'd probably do worse now that Nard knows Cal will throw even if he's hitting nothing.
Don't think so.. he'd beat Hopkins much easier if they fought again.

First off - It was Calzaghe's first fight at 175.

Secondly - It wont be in Hopkins USA backyard.

Even with ALL the advantages last time Hopkins STILL couldn't win. By rights Hopkins should have been thrown-out for cheating in the 10th round.
You're clearly a fanboy. If hopkins increases his volume even a fraction of what he did in the first fight ,he wins. It's that simple. You should also follow bhops career a bit better. He's often times been called teh dirtiest fighter in the game for a reason.

What he did in the 10th? He's done in about 6 or 7 other fights. The whole low blow thing was de ja vu for me, having seen all of bhops fights.
