clinton woods might be next for calzaghe, as reports states that they are on advanced negotiations @ 175lbs how bout that, it sucks
By Andrew Wake: "British local TV network Yorkshire television have reported that negotiations for a 175 pound match up between Sheffield’s International Boxing Federation champion Clinton Woods and pound for pound great Joe Calzaghe have begun and are at an advanced stage"
tbh with you. i think we need to get more sources when people make threads. there's a thread that joe says he will ko hopkins
Yeah, well as long as its bullshit thats all that matters, Clinton Woods is not and never will be a legacy fight.
what would the point of fighting calzaghe back in 2002 be? no one knew who the hell he was no one. that would be like hopkins fighting zsolt erdei or lucian bute now. probably good boxers but who the hell cares about them.
and in 2002 bernard fought...... lets wait for it.... carl daniels. 2003 morrade hakkar, and then william joppy and robert allen 2004.
joe was undeafeted and they werent. i dont know who they are maybe you do. joe had a belt.
Please tell me this isnt true, what does fighting woods prove? Calzaghe will decision him nice and easy.

I'm tired of reading stuff like this in boxing. If both parties are so concerned with home turf advantage, then fight in Canada or something.
exactly...
And if we don't, will you call it for what it is? A bitch move by Calzaghe? Because I will if it turns out to be Hopkins' fault. I don't allow love of a fighter to interfere with my thought process.
it is a bitch mvoe on frank warrens side. i think there is some money to be made by fighting woods, yet i don't think frank really wants that for joe. i myself would be pissed off if joe had to fight woods because he said he will have 2 or 3 fights and then retire. he is also said that he wnats to fight the legends, the big names out there and retire in a blazing glory.
woods aint what joe wants believe me. i do hope that hopkins feels the pressure and takes the fight
I'm just being honest. Hopkins was labeled a bitch by Joe fans for not travelling to Wales years ago when Joe wanted him. I think it's only fair Joe is laballed a bitch for not travelling to the U.S. to fight Hopkins now that Hopkins wants him.
Basically it's a battle of bitches, a battle in which nobody will win.
Hopkins was labelled a bitch because he agreed terms to fight Calzaghe and then backed out.
The level of stupidity on here never ceases to amaze me sometimes. If you can't see that this is all part of the Calzaghe-Hopkins negotiations then you need to get a clue.
Well if it doesn't happen Calzaghe fans have no right to call Hopkins a bitch or a duck anymore, seeing as Joe would be the ducker this time since Hopkins has been calling him out for months now.
erm a few eyars ago hopkinds agreed to fight then doubled the price after. duck 1
secondly hopkins ghas been calling out joe, and look at frankw arren. he has said hopkins can choose the date, time, place aslong as joe gets paid. frank has urged hbo to make it too.
hopkins is fucking rich so why does he need to duck? i don't know, but if he really would like the fight then he would come out now and say something.

Agreed....
Don't be blaming Calzaghe off hand if the fight is not made. Waid till the facts come in. We all know Bernard's past with respect to fighting Calzaghe...there's always something...and when there's nothing, Bernard demands all the money or no fight. Wait before you judge, I suspect we will find history repeating itself.

If Hopkins wasn't the age that he is, I'd say fine, fight Woods and then Hopkins, so that there is more on the line, plus one fight to get used to light heavy. As it is he needs to fight Hopkins next and within about 6 months.

I totally agree with you, but I think Joe has more of a live gate pull than Bhop. But his fans will Travel just like Ricky's. I guess It really depends on how much JC cares about his legacy.
I personally wish they could just get over their egos and fight already. I don't give a shit if it's in Sweden, I just want to see it happen and I have been wanting to see it for years now. And 'Nard isn't getting any younger here.
Hopkins and Warren doing business is bad news. That said, if the fight cant happen, this is still a formidable one.
then let it be
calzaghe vs woods it is........who will hopkins fight next ? pavlik? i doubt it,
he can't wait longer than a year he is too old he need to act fast, lol
