Does the first fight also show that calzaghe is tactically smarter too? Hopkins had the rub of the green all the way but didnt choose the right options during the fight/couldn't react to calzaghe's adjustments. 1st round knockdown, home advantage, fight fought at Hopkinses pace until round 4 or 5. Then not really a close fight after that. 5 min break in the 10th for Hopkins to make sure he finished. Tried for another later. Freddie telling him from 7 or 8 onwards he need to do more Hopkin's trying to rush in against calzaghe later on in the fight as he knew he was behind. Hopkins landed cleaner shots earlier on but calzaghe did catch him with a few good shots in with all the pitty patter shots. 1-2 clean punches a round does not win a round imo for hopkins. Hopkins had plenty stamina left for Kelly Pavlik in a fight he controlled the pace for the first 5 rounds. Why could he not finish against calzaghe the way he did against Pavlik? It's because Kelly Pavlik is no Joe Calzaghe! To answer the question it has to be Dawson because even after the victory and Dawson does nothing people could still claim he done nothing AFTER calzaghe beat him. Hopkins Calzaghe 2 is not a fight I want to see after Hopkins and his antics in the first.
