    Bernard Hopkins: "Calzaghe is No Ricky Hatton"

    Bernard Hopkins told Sportinglife that Joe Calzaghe does not have the guts of his countryman Ricky Hatton, citing how long it took Calzaghe to come to the United States for a fight. Calzaghe moves up in weight to 175-pounds to challenge Hopkins on Saturday in Las Vegas. [details]

    Wow. OK then. If Calzaghe doesn't have the guts of Hatton, Hopkins doesn't have the guts of Jeff Lacy, otherwise he wouldn't have run from Joe as fast as possible in the other direction back in '02.

      Didnt Hopkins run a mile in 2002 and then skip 168lbs straight to 175 after Taylor beat him twice.

        Every one runs from Joe, the reason behind Joe's poor resume.

        BTW am being sarcastic. Joe should have gone to the states long time ago.

          Two words Frank Warren.

          according to Enzo calzaghe they would have but everyone that wanted to fight him in the states wanted huge splits.

          Dont know if its true but i wonder why Joe hasnt gone over sooner he has the skills.

                Calzaghe cant win either way.
                When he spanks Hopkins on Saturday the excuse that Borehard was ancient will be the excuse.
                Truth is Calzaghe has spent his career beating big men his own size while Hopkins made his name beating little men then losing to the only talented guys near his own size.
                No matter what the yanks love to believe the Hype that is Bore hard.
                If Calzaghe had beaten Tito & oscar he would have been ridiculed for being a big bully.

                    It's really funny when Hopkins starts to talk about punishing people. Before the first Taylor fight he told Jermain that he might die in the ring. Then he throws like 12 punches per round while making himself as small as possible to avoid Jermain's 1-2.
