Frank Warren: "Bernard Hopkins Has No Way Out"

[sonofisis]

Following Joe Calzaghe's unification win over Mikkel Kessler at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, promoter Frank Warren sent a message to recognized light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins. He wants Hopkins to step up to the challenge and fight Calzaghe. Warren is talking to HBO, hoping the network giant steps in and makes the fight happen. [details]

I don't see much of what Calz can do to beat B-Hop really. Hopkins by UD!

i think the fight does MAYBE 20,000 fans... why hold it at Yankee Stadium where there will be an EMBARRASSING amount of empty seats, hen you could pack the Garden???

This will be a good fight and it would be nice to see Joe in the u.s.

I personally think if it were to happen, it should happen in Wales again. Hopkins wouldn't get half the number of people Calzaghe gets in his hometown. It would make perfect sense money wise.

Us Americans want to see Calzaghe fight live. Quit hogging him... heh
His name has sky-rocketed over here after his impressive win over lacy and now Kessler. He is a big enough name to get ppl to attend the fight in the usa.

Joe Calzaghe is OFFICIALLY MANAGING HIMSELF now and was before Saturday, he refused point blank to sign another contract with Warren about a week ago and Warren is now panicking

Yea you're probably right, but still, I don't think the number would be close to 50K plus like in the Kessler fight, and believe me, half of the people in attendance would be british. Damn hooligans.

Finally. He should have done this long ago.

If that was true, wouldn't warren be getting in trouble for speaking in the be-half of a boxer who is no longer promoted by him?
