Joe could handle his power when he gave Hopkins a free shot at one of the end of the rounds wanting to show him whos the *****.:yep Like I said prime Hopkins was smaller, more agressive and less safety first which means Joe would of beaten him easier.
Both are past their respective primes now. But even if they fought then i would favor Calzaghe on points. Their fight on saturday in my eyes was a close but clear win for Calzaghe.
still joe for me hopkins would come forward more giving joe more of a chance to actually box him, hopkins has always been crafty but he was never as bad in his prime as he is now, joe ud for me,:good
