        calzaghe is an incredible fighter, dont get me wrong, but he always says he wants to fight everyone, and then goes out and fights no one. I'll believe it when i see it

            Yup I bet next week he will be calling out Wladimir Klitschko but he will end up fight Alfonzo Gomez Jr.

              Well we can hope it happens anyhow. I sure do. As much as I like Wright I think that if Calzaghe won't leave Wales for the fight Hopkins would stand a better chance. Hopkins is perfectly alright with fighting dirty if he has to, Wright not so much. I have seen what I consider very questionable calls(or lack there of) from the UK refs. Blatant low blows completely ignored. I would rather see Bhop in that than Winky, since Bhop likes those kind of fights.

                I lost count of the number of low blows Miranda got away with on saturday, so don't give me that rubbish. Referees are much stricter on deducting points over here.

                Calzaghe has wanted Hopkins for years, long before Hopkins walked away from their agreement to fight a few years ago. He's probably the one fighter Calzaghe would have trouble with but would ultimately be too busy for.

                  I agree. I think he'll end up with Froch.

                  It's not that Calzaghe is afraid of these guys, just that he insists on getting the big end of the money, the advantage in venue, he's a great champion that doesn't understand that the american's don't give a **** that he's the champion.
