Recognized light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins, in a recent interview with The Sunday Times, said that he respects Ricky Hatton more than undisputed super middleweight champ Joe Calzaghe, because Hatton left the UK to take big fights on American soil. [details]

It's not Calzaghe's fault he ain't fought in the US yet, That's down to his pigheaded promoter Frank Warren.
And apart from the Mayweather fight what other big fights has Hatton been involved with on American soil? Collazo, Urango and Castillo don't count because they were ****e apart from the body punch to Castillo. -
Nice try Bhop to get JC over to the states but it won't happen. It's Wales or nothing I'm afraid.Comment

im a big fan of bhop but saying that is so ******.Comment

why 60/40 ffs. just make it 50/50 and give the fans a fight that many want.
20% difference is too much to ask for. hopkins is with golden boy promotions and is freaking rich already.
i hope hbo or oscar force him to go to 50/50 the greedy *****.
i mean joe vs nard
or rematch winky vs nard? who else will he fight. not another big name going up in divisions i hope.Comment

I agree. Hopkins needs to realize that he can't fill a venue on his own. Look at the Winky fight.Originally posted by ds91 View PostComment

frank warren (joe's promoter) said joe will go to america, in any ring, in aany city and at any time only if joe gets paid. he said that if there 100 on the table hopkins cant have 99. althoguh 60/40 isnt that bad, 50/50 will make frank tell joe lets take it.Originally posted by brently1979 View Post
after all hopkins has called out joe yet he wnats the palce and the bigger share. 20% is a lot.
