    Woods: "No Reason For Calzaghe-Hopkins"

    Clinton Woods, the IBF light heavyweight champion, sees no reason for a clash between UK rival Joe Calzaghe and recognized light heavyweight champ Bernard Hopkins. Woods told Daily Express that Hopkins is too old and does not provide Calzaghe with the most lucrative challenge. He believes a clash between him and Calzaghe will do big business in the UK.

    Hopkins has ground out points-victories over Ronald Wright and Antonio Tarver, who the last time I looked lost by KO to a 60-year-old Rocky Balboa."

      Joe would not take the Woods fight, he knows he would get beat, Hopkins is the easist option.

          Alternate ending on the DVD has Rocky winning.

            Sometimes you make perfect sense, and I have thought you know your stuff a few times, but holy **** are you wrong on this one. Woods to beat Calzaghe? Was this the same dream where Ali came out of retirement and unified the heavyweight division?

              Yup Clinton Woods would beat Calzaghe the same way that one undefeated world champ that was favoured to beat him did. What was his name, Jeff Lacy I think.....

                Woods is nothing to be sniffed at, and is a world champion after all, but he's not in Calzaghe's class. He'd be a big underdog. Calzaghe needs a bigger fight anyway.

                  I haven't seen the alt ending yet. Does he win by KO, UD, MD or SD?

                    Split Decision. I'm glad they kept the regular ending though it's pretty obvious **** like that doesn't happen in real life.

                    However, look at Foreman-Moorer...
