Calzaghe wrote in a paper overseas that he is a columnist in that he was very unimpressed by Hopkins' defense and that he would knock out Hopkins if they fight.

Calzaghe says it's a joke that Hopkins is considered the best in the world and that Hopkins is as overrated as they come.

Calzaghe isn't really one to talk because he has backed out of more fights than anybody else lately.

Calzaghe is laughing in order to entice a fight with Bernard.

Im seriously doubting his motives, I dont think, HE THINKS, he can

really beat Bernard. Victory in this sense,

would be getting a multi million dollar fight with Hopkins,

Then get knocked out in the late rounds.

Agreed. Calzaghe needs to STFU and step up from the Thomas Tates of the world before running his mouth

Not a bad idea for Calzaghe.This puts some ideas into Bhops head to fight Calzaghe for his Super Middleweight Title,then fight the winner of Johnson/Tarver for the Lt.Heavyweight crown.I think a 3 division champ,along with the 20 title defences at Middleweight would sure look impressive in the History books.

The situation sucks ass, i wish they would just fight and prove who's the boss.

I blame Calzaghe a lot because he should force Hopkins into a fight, he could face Lacy(even though Lacy doesnt deserve the shot) in the US and make a statement. If Hopkins is really running scared he should prove it.

i personally hate calzaghe, he is overatted and has not had one creditable fight to his name. In his last outing he was put on the canvas by a nobody, this shows he has a week chin. This also shows he is touchable and therefore lacks superb boxing skill. However he does have a good punch but would be easy to avoid for a good fighter. If he steps up into light heavyweight like he is threatening i for one will enjoy him being battered in every round till he can stand no more

How?Only 2 fights,lol.It's more realistic than Bhops plans to fight Taylor,Tito and Johnson before the year is up.

Hasnt fought anyone?? check his record, if you dont see a decent fighter then you dont know about boxing.

Weak chin?? Calzaghe's been to war with everyone of his opponents, he's been down twice in his whole career, and still got up to win. Thats really good.

Easy to avoid?? Have you seen the tempo Calzaghe fights at, he's a very fast pressure fighter. Nobody can avoid him for the full 12 rounds.

I'm no Calzaghe fan, infact i dont really like him but he's a good fighter, he's got a lot of ability.

As he reckons it's always spinal spasms that keep him out of fights, is Calzaghe backing out of fights in more ways than one?



Sorry, scraping the barrel...

I think its a bit more of other fighters as well not being too keen on the idea of fighting Calzaghe, Joe just gives them brillant excuses to avoid him. Its shame, i think Joe Calzaghe, if he put it all together for a superfight has the ability to do to Hopkins what Roy Jones did to him in 1993. He seems to have hid behind Frank Warren his whole career and i think Warren is a major reason for his lack of exposure to major fights. Calzaghe can run his mouth all he wants. if he really wanted to fight the big name fighters he`s break his ties with Warren and fight for peanuts on New York undercards, then he`ll get a fight!

There no way in million years that Galzaghe could outbox Hopkins like Roy did. His only change is to turn the fight into brawl and how many fighters have done that to Bernard?

I suppose I dont know much about boxing either.

because his record is full of a host of "nobodys".

Antwon Echols turned both his fights into a brawl with Hopkins, he even floored Hop in the first round of their first fight!
Calzaghe could stand toe to toe with Hopkns but that would give Hopkins sweet shots on the inside. The best stratgery for Calzaghe would be to box from the outside using his hand speed and slapping combos and try to steal a points dec!

Good way to try to goad Hopkins to a fight. I give Calzaghe little chance of winning however.

Calzaghe would beat Hopkins.
Eastman is an infamously slow, ponderous fighter, Calzaghe is a good pressure fighter and a fully fledged Super middle weight. Plus Hopkins aint getting any better.

It wont happen, but if it did, id take some big ass bets.

You would also take some big ass "hickies".

Hopkins fighting Glen wateverhisnameis, is pathetic! Its just a payday for an old man. Glens ****, Tarvers ****, Jones is finished, and Hopkins is good but not great.

He deserves all respect, but he is a very solid performer. Not exciting. His win over De La Hoya only proved that Oscar cant take a half decent body shot from a middle weight.

What are Hopkins biggest wins?
