    Taylor beat Hopkins by pot-shoting with that big rangy jab. Calzaghe stands square when he fights, and is a south paw. Hopkins would counterpunch him to death in a cagey, tactical fight.

    We saw how good Calzaghe's jab was against Kessler.

    He'll jab Hopkins to death on the outside and outbox and outwork him on the inside.

    I see a wide UD or possible late stoppage for Joe in what will be a close fight for the first 6 rounds then Joe will take over

    Hopkins, Toney and Mayweather.

    The more pressure you apply, the more you get beat up.

    Hopkins is a tough matchup for Calzaghe and that goes both ways.

    That would never happen. Right now Joe is on a high horse, but Hopkins will knock his ass back to reality.

    If Hopkins is not too slow and old, he has all the tools to dismantle Calzaghe and put him away.

    Exactly. Hopkins has no chance! But some people are still reluctant to give Joe his props. Unbelievable. Recognise a true great before it's too late, kids.

    I sincerely hope people keep thinking Hopkins actually has a chance; that way I can win a lot of money when the fight actually happens.

    Hopkins doesn't have the stamina to keep up with Calzaghe's workrate. That's all there is to it.

    I would bet my life that Calzaghe would never in a million years stop Hopkins. I mean get real, Hopkins is one of the toughest fighters out there.

    What I would bet on is Calzaghe winning a close UD. He has amazing hand speed, and he will rack up an unbelievable amount of points. But he has no power, they are just slaps. Watch the Manfredo fight. He hitting him with the underside of his gloves.
