Calzaghe: "Hopkins - Not Much Competition"

[Shanus]

Yeah I agree he's gonna have to compromise if he can't get guys to come over. Because that's just an excuse to never come. You can't be considered the best if you don't go out and fight the best.

I'm sure Hatton has lost money coming over here but I haven't heard him say anything like that.

Hatton has made major bucks moving to the US, he had never seen 6 figures before the Kostya fight.

3 Million Guarantee plus a piece of the pay-per-view. Calzaghe is making more than that for Kessler I believe and his gate will earn him far more than what Hopkins earned on Saturday.

Ok i thought calzaghe was making around £2.5 mil which is about $5mil?

This is also his highest purse no?

I was wondering that so he's not as big in his hometown as Cal? I thought he would be he brought over so many fans for the Castillo fight.

Calzaghe is full of **** once again, America is the meca of boxing, so the American elite fighters do not need to to fight overseas, you earn respect when you fight in America, why do all the great Latin fighters fight in America, why Pac fights in America, Pac can sell a large stadium in one day in the Philippines if he wants to, Pac raely fights in the Philippines.

This is just another excuse for Calzaghe not to fight in America, 43 career fights and still no fights in America, pathetic!

Also lets not forget Calzaghe didn't sellout any stadiums in UK before the Lacy fight, he turned into a god after the Lacy fight and had 35000 British fans paying to see him against Manfredo, only in Europe!

Calzaghe is a joke and doesn't stand a hope in hell's chance of running Kessler close because he simply hasn't mixed in good class since Woodhall, and has only had about five fights in the last five years. He can't even hit the bag because his hand is so ****ed. And the guy has zero personality, that's why nobody cares about him in Britain.

Nobody in Britain gives a flying **** about this fight, and neither do the Americans. Once Kessler disposes of this joke and his promoter, hopefully they'll be forgotten.

The top fighter in Britain is Ricky Hatton by a country mile and the future fighters are David Haye and Carl Froch.

I think Calzaghes comments have obviously got to you, because what he has said is true. Calzaghe makes alot more money than Hopkins does, Hopkins needs Calzaghe in order to make some proper money he made $3million for fighting Winky yet Calzaghe is earning £5million. I agree Hatton is the top man in Britain but Joe has a very big fan base unlike Hopkins and Wright who I respect as excellent fighters. To say the Americans are not interested in the fights is bollocks as well your the first person I have heard come out with that.

I'm not sure if I want to see a B-Hop/Joe C fight. I would much rather see Joe fight Roy. Is that a possability?
