    Hopkins. Even in his greatest fights, it was late when he came on.

    Hopkins makes sure he has energy to win the later rounds.

    Bhop of course. Joe gets more wild and sloppy as the fight goes on. Also when he gets hurt he goes on all out attack. Bhop is defensive fighter that can move in the ring. He is not some stationary dingbat like Calzaghe has been fighting all his life. Bhops movement will kind make calzaghe have to do more to score. He cant just jump in and jump out like he always does. Bhop also is the smarter fighter. Calzaghe always makes mistakes gets hit flush etc etc.

    ironically how Jermain Taylor was able to win the last few rounds against Bernard Hopkins to win the split-decision. The fight could have went the other way. The fight was close enough.


    Joe Calzaghe has a lot energy and power throughout including the final few rounds.

    the final few rounds can go either way.

    Ummm, Jermain Taylor DID NOT win the last few rounds in either of those fights...he was utterly DOMINATED IN BOTH DURING THEM!!!

    Where do you people get this stuff???
