Diferrence in Calzaghe's comments on BHop compared to Kessler

Maybe it has something to do with Hopkins calling the British fighter a "white boy" and saying how he would never, ever lose to a White person.

Such racism would anger me, because I happen to be White and my whole family is White.

It could also be to do with the fact that whenever Hopkins has spoken about Calzaghe he has disrespected him badly, despite him having been a World Champion for well over a decade and having beaten the likes of Lacy, Reid, Eubank and Kessler along the way.

If someone shows him respect then he will return it in kind a la kessler, woodhall, mitchell etc, but if your going to bad mouth him he'll give it back like with lacy and hopkins.

Its what most people do I really wouldn't look too much into it, pissing calzaghe off hasn't done any of his previous opponents any good it just seems to make him more focused.

Very true.

Sadly, despite being a great Champion, Hopkins has no class whatsoever and was verbally attacking the British fighter from day one.
