IBF light heavyweight champion Clinton Woods has taken offense against
the sportsbook who established as a 4:1 underdog to unified super
middleweight champion Joe Calzaghe, should that fight ever be
made. "I'm not 4-1 against anyone, that just complete rubbish, and with
all due respect to Joe's great win, a lot of people believe he was beaten
by Robin Reid and he was knocked down by Byron Mitchell and Karaby
Salem. Again, with respect, I am a lot better that all three of them put
together and I've been a light heavyweight for nearly a decade. I will be
stronger and a harder puncher than anyone Joe has ever faced. It would
be fantastic fight." Woods also scoffed at the idea of a proposed fight
between Calzaghe and 42-year-old former middleweight champion
Bernard Hopkins. "Name me one exciting Bernard Hopkins fight, just
one," challenged Woods. "Exactly! The guy is a complete bore to watch,
good as he is. He doesn't bring any friends to the arena, much less any
fans...let's be honest, Hopkins is only interested in easy nights against
undersized opponents or opponents he recognizes as being past their
best and Joe is big and in his prime. Hopkins is on cruise and collect
mode, he's on a pension run. If the fight ever did happen, Hopkins would
will try and pick-pocket his way to a close points win and we've seen Joe
get dragged down into messy, scrappy fights by guys who come with
avoiding getting hurt as their top priority. Who on Earth wants to see
that?"

i agree, Hopkins is just a dirty fighter, and he's not even exciting to watch. who the hell would pay money to watch that crap. I hope Calzaghe doesn`t fight him, Hopkins is a *****.

Calzaghe doesn't care. He has openly admitted that his primary concern is money and he seems convinced that a fight with Hopkins will provide him with the most.
