Just looking at stats of previous fights both have been involved in, it was interesting against a match spoiler, an average one at that like BIKA Calzaghe punched an average of 50 per round connecting with 30%, I dont really rate Bika as a defensive wizard, or even a brutal puncher to deter Calzaghe,,,,,Deary me hes going to have to come up with something against a very dirty fighter/defensive master like B-Hop B-HOP by pnts (split) 6 years ago...he destroys calzaghe
In fairness, Calzaghe has always performed better against stiffer competition and Bika's spoiling tactics have looked every bit as good as Hopkins'. I don't rate Bika as a defensive wizard either, but he's as effective when it comes to spoiling. As good a spoiler as Hopkins is, it's a small part of his arsenal and a much bigger part of Bika's.
