    This one is actually quite easy to pick. Calzaghe clear UD. Dont let the name cloud your judgement. Hopkins in some parts was outboxed by DLH, Calzaghe has longer reach and is faster than DLH. Hopkins lost a controversial decision to Taylor twice, I am sure Joe would shutout Taylor. Hopkins experience and dirty tactics will make this a competetive fight, but make no mistake, Calzaghe will outclass him with his speed. Dont let Hopkins win over Winky cloud you, it was something everyone saw coming. Styles favoured BHop and Winky was too small for LHW.

    Tarver IMO was Hopkins best win though I question wether the Tarver he fought was at his best. DLH & Tito are good wins but Calzaghe would shut both guys out.

    I dunno what the odds for that fight was but I was pretty confident Hopkins would beat him at LHW. I just didnt think Winky would beat the master at his own game of a chess match. Then again, I was pretty confident Taylor would beat Winky, I thought he did but it was alot closer and controversial...

    Joe Calzaghe has never faced an opponent of this caliber in an environement like this in an event of this magnitude....He will not be in his usual comfort zone. Calzaghe was very comfortable facing many if not all of the opponents you mention as they were not in the same class as Hopkins or in the case of Eubanks passed his best and takeing the fight on short notice with three weeks preparation.
