I'd love to know what other people think too but I'd bet on Hopkins. He is a dirty, awkward but a smart fighter who I think would frustrate the hell out of Kessler.

So if 'The Third Man' thinks Kessler was his best win yet I reckon most would pick Hopkins to win if he fought Kessler (I know you have it a pick em) isn't that plain wrong? He put age 43 in there to make Hopkins sound as past it as he could.

I think Hopkins is ugly to watch at times and fights dirty but he had Kelly Pavlic in fits and broke his heart, a guy that beat Taylor twice(one by KO)and Taylor beat Hopkins twice.

Hopkins (as much as I hate him) is one of the best conditioned fighters of any era at his age and has evolved almost perfectly with his style. That is fact.
I hear what you are saying about Hopkins, he is a freak and his ability to continue to fight and perform as well as he does at his age defies all that we know about boxers. How would Calzaghe handle a 30-35 old Hopkins? I go Hopkins UD.
Kessler was a great win for Calzaghe and all praise to him for that one, Kessler is a very, very good fighter and Calzaghe beat him at his best.
