    Hotstepper ,you must get a lot of stick from Americans who probably attack Britain as a country so you feel you are justified to stick up for them ,yeah

    but if you did'nt make such bull**** threads with the sole reason of insulting them as a nation then they would'nt do the same it's common sense ,i do not like it when people attack Britiain or its fighters infact it PISSES me off but i can see why some of them do with little Englanders like you trash talking them at every available oppurtunity for no aparent reason

    defend our fighters by all means FFS i do it myself ,but my posts are sensible and thought out and most importantly not biased as ****

      Hopkins ducked Joe before wouldnt suprise me if he does it again, the fight was 99% made and at the last moment Hopkins decided to double the amount he wanted. Hopkins vs Wright sold what 9k tickets? have the fight in Wales infront of 60k and have it on at 2am here for American's, will generate the most money. Calzaghe hasn't needed to go to the States the SMW has been dominated by Europeans over the years and any Americans that were in the SMW division wern't very popular apart from Lacy. I'd prefer to see Calzaghe vs Dawson, Hopkins is a lose lose situation if he wins, hopkins is old. With Calzaghes style he will make Hopkins look old.

          I agree Calzaghe would out work him ,that is how Taylor beat him over 24 rounds of fighting he was just busy in both fights ,as for Tarver he did'nt throw more than 2 punches in the whole fight

            thing is, Hopkins gets in the ring with world Class fighters, : Tito, Oscar Winky, Tarver, Roy Jones, Glen Johnson (i think)

            Calzaghe has been tested against: Lacy and Eubank, hardly the same level is it?

            Lets wait and see.

              yea but most of them were a good few years ago, either way if it happens should be a good fight.

                Tarver has to be 1 of the most overtated fighters ever IMO, he lost to RJJ ,Glen Johnson LOLOLOL

                Tito and Dela Hoya ,Winky are his best names funnily enough they all happened to be fighting way out of their natural weight division

                Hopkins proabably would have been even stronger as light heavyweight when he fought Winky

                    no you were trying use Bhop's competition as a yard stick for who would win a fight between them ,he has fought better opostition but that does 'nt mean he would beat Joe ,no what im sayin brother

                      It doesnt mean that Joe would win either, but when you judge a fight, you take note of the opposition they have fought, for instance, Kessler aint fought nobody worth a dime, and i think that will be factor when he fights calzaghe,

                      Same goes for calzaghe hopkins.
