Who else doesnt want to see Calzaghe/Hopkins?

[2501]

I mean, there are better fights out there for Joe to pursue than his quest for Hopkins.

[Floydko1]

theirs better fights out their visual wise but this fight needs to be made its been in the pipe line for years when hopkins was middleweight champ i believe its 4 or 5 years 2 late for hopkins now due to calzaghe enegry i know hopkins luvs to tell us about his great fitness for his age and give me due his fitness is awesome but it does not change is age. calzaghe over 12 rounds by points, i would love a calzaghe vs Pavlik tht would be a exciting fight

Even at his age I'll pick Bernard to beat Joe. His style is a perfect foil for Joe's. I know Joe has tons of energy and throws tons of punches but that won't be the story against Hopkins. Hopkins will bait him on the outside, and counter with a straight right hand when Joe throws, then he'll come in with an accidental headbutt, clinch him, hit him behind the head and on the hip, get seperated and repeat.

As I've said before, Hopkins' M.O at this late stage of his career is to fight big name opponets, never put himself at risk, and give his opponets so little to work with that he can dictate the pace until the fight turns into a cluster****.

and thats why i wouldnt want to see this fight. i would rather watch a more competitive fight rather than watch someone to try not to let it be.

I wanna see it.

Calzaghe is working on a reputation more than anything, And hopkins a well known fighter is the perfect choice for him

Great post.

I could see Bernard winning it dirty, but I don't think it will happen.

I can't say I wouldn't be doing the same at 'Nard's age. Any idea how hard it is for a 42 year old to train the way he does, let alone get in the ring with elite fighters and fight them for 36 minutes?

His gameplan, while not very appealing to casual fans, is very fun for me to watch. not fun as in edge of your seat entertaining, but fun as in watching him nullify his opponet's every move. I can't help but laugh a lot of times.

That said Hopkins does also have some very entertaining fights, look at the Tarver fight last year.

I'd love to see Calzaghe retire the overrated Borenard Popkins for good.
