Calzaghe and Hopkins just faced off in Vegas

[altoman]

I'm sure we'll be hearing more about this in the near future but reports just from the BBC say Calzaghe and Hopkins finally met face to face for the first time in front of 100 journalists in Vegas.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7133862.stm

It all started of jovially and fighters seemed to be high spirits then according to Calzaghe on the radio just now, "Hopkins seemed to just switched for no reason, raised his arm and started gesticulating at me saying "i ain't never gonna lose to a white boy"".

Even Lennox Lewis had to pause an interview he giving to watch.

In response Calzaghe sounded supremely confident telling journalists it was "absolutely impossible" for Hopkins to win. "He can't match my activity and will never ever connect enough punches"

I'm sure there'll be more on this soon. I'll try and find a link to a report.

bernard is bad for boxing, hes a boring fighter, hes an idiot, and now apparantly a racist.

bt it is true but if it is then erm the white thing is abit silly.

[altoman]

This just makes me more certain this fights gonna happen, I don't think Hopkins can get away with been seen to avoid Calzaghe in any way after todays out burst.

And I don't even know why he's now decided to bring race into this. All of a sudden he's now gonna be putting even more at stake when he fights Calzaghe. And if he ends up losing he may just have to shut up for long time.

bernard will look his age in this fight.. trying to make 168 at 43 years old against someone with a great ouput of punches and plenty of handspeed... he believed his own bull**** after tarver

[Allucard]

Hopkins is 43 and even if he was 27 it ain't no shame losing to this "white boy", Joe Calzaghe. About this fight, Hopkins has no chance whatsoever.
I have to say though, it's a shame Calzaghe going after a 43 year old.

[ИATAS]

Joe isn't a young buck by any means either. I'd rather see Joe fight Hopkins that Winky, thats for sure.

@ree****yaluss, if the fight happens it will be at Light Heavy

[starjammer]

Racist prick.

If Joe said 'I'd never let a black man beat me' I guarantee you Joe's career would be ruined as the storms of headlines and articles of racist would never stand for it.

Double standards in the world.

[altoman]

Oh man, he's now gonna look so ****** of he loses. From then on i'm always gonna refer to him as Bernard "I ain't never gonna lose to a white boy" Hopkins. Hell, I might even start from now.
