Originally posted by Chairman L-mao View PostYou're delusional. Why did Hop walk away first? Having lost to Jermain Taylor twice is indeed an embarrassment. Hop's career is nowhere near as good as Joe's and Hop understands that
Whereas hopkins fought, Glenn Johnson, Roy Jones Jr, Oscar De La Hoya, Antonio Tarver, Winky Wright and Jermaine Taylor.
Thus why Hopkins has had a better career, he fought more bigger name fighters (forget about the weight difference, im talking names) and took part in bigger fights. Thus why he is more well known and makes more money.
Have you seen the HBO stats on views for Calzaghe -Kessler? apparently hardly anyone watched it, even though it was free to air, calzaghe is not a PPV draw which is why Hopkins made more money.
So no, Calzaghe's carrer is not far better than Hopkins'.

Back to hopkins calzaghe, i look at it like this, Calzaghe should win the fight, because no one can see b hop surviving at 43 against a high output fighter, thing is...
These days Hopkins only picks the fights that he thinks he will win, because he is trying to out do Roy Jones in the legacy stakes without having to fight him again. He will try and time calzaghe coming inside with jab and the overhand right, and he will be dirty inside also, plus look out for some dodgy goldenboy judging, Hopkins has a better chance than what people on here give him. Look at the problems Bika caused calzaghe, that might be the key.

Do the ppl in england/uk area pay for the calzaghe/kessler fight? Because Calzaghe has been a draw over there a bit, I would of assume they would have had their own kind of ppv for him over there that he made money off of.
