matchup out there right now? Everyone loves a pickem fight and after reading the Floyd and Williams post i think a lot of people might think its that matchup, a few weeks ago i would have chosen Pavlik Miranda but now i would say Calzaghe Hopkins i could not pick a winner in that one.
I can't see 42 year old Hopkins being able to compete considering Calzaghes work rate, no matter how crafty Hopkins may be.
Calzaghe is getting old too and i would not bet against hopkins and that is also coming from a big calzaghe fan who (probably like yourself) normally goes and watches all his fights live.
Still, case in point, unless Calzaghe starts to decline, he's a stylistic nightmare for the 42 year hold Hopkins. Even if he declines significantly, I still feel he wins wide because of the style.
No. Because a prime Hopkins did not have to fight at a conservative pace to stay in the fight, he could also fire a fantastic overhand right(Calzaghe's kryptonite) at will. Prime Calzaghe-Hopkins is a good fight, lots of variables come into play.
