i think the showing hopkins did, is not an indicator of this fight. i also know that roy will be a hell of a lot better than in the tito, since his bicep was torn.
i feel hopkins is a master of fighting south paws, and also he is a master of controlling a fight. i don't think he could have fought any better. i mean a knock down and pretty much 50/50 fight. as for calzaghe, i feel he can deal with roy's style more. roy has super fast hands, but he doesn't sustain it. he seems to only throw very few punches at a time now. he can get the first 1 or two punches really fast as always, but i feel if he punches any more, he will get tired and slower. this is where i feel roy can lose it, since calzaghe is always a fighter to not tire at the 12th, while others do. this is where he gets the rounds. then again i also have to think of their ages, will calzaghe workrate be too much for his aging body? is roy just not going to be able to throw as much? i don't think roy will hit calz with his left, but the right hand is what i would be concerned with. the southpaw style and high right hand will block the lefts. but the right is soemthing to worry about since calz does like to stand in a funny faceward stance. someone of roy's ability will make note and bang in some rights.
if roy is goign to win, then i really don't think it will be a ud. it will have to be a ko.
if calzaghe wins, i am pretty sure it will be close, but he will edge it with his workrate. the reason why, is because hopkins isn't there to be hit, you gotta basically break through a brick wall, but roy, well he always has his hands low, and his reflexes won't cope with calzaghe's speed.
