Bernard Hopkins: "Calzaghe is No Ricky Hatton"

[Chunk..]

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.

* Joe should have jumped ship, he knew he wouldn't get the fights HE wants fighting under Frank Warren.

* Being with Frank Warren means negotiating goes out the window, Frank wants his fighters to get the better deal or no fight and then he flips it to make out the other fighter turned down a good deal, They should have compromised to make the big fights happen, But they didn't.

* I reckon Joe wanted to go to the staes earlier in his career to get the big fights but Frank Warren wouldn't let it happen cause he didn't want his prize fighter to go to the states and risk getting beaten on the biggest stage FACT!

Frank Warren's a ****!!!!!!!!

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.

Lets be real. Joe's Resume consists of Jeff Lacy a fighter at the time who only had 22 fights. Thats all I hear he beat jeff lacy. Woo Hoo big deal. Joe hasn't fought anybody since winning the Title. I heard last week say " I beat Peter manfredo" LOL. Hopkins is going to out class this guy and I don't want to hear anything about His moving up in weight. Cause for a real boxing fan you know B hop walked at 160 for yrs. Walked around not got into fighting weight but walked around @ 160 with a 26 in waist.

He did it with Hatton and he`ll do it with khan.

I often say over a beer that Joes most exciting years (not best) were robbed from us by Warren even though jhe beat solid fighters.

Cant disagree more Calzaghe has an ultra solid (not great) resume.

Chris Eubank and Mikkel Kessler are his best wins and ask any boxing fan thats two great wins.

And remember Lacy was a bum after Calzaghe he destroyed everone he faced including Shieka and Reid.

Chris Eubank I'll give you but Kessler hasn't fought anyone either. Lets be real Either outside of Del la hoya any of Hopkins last opponents would give Joe all kinds of trouble.

Kessler had cleaned the division out up until Calzaghe.

Watch Kessler fight you know he will become a star.

All opinions though.

Heard it all before and don't wish to argue with you. If you can't see Joe's a great fighter, I probably can't convince you and I won't even try anyway.

Lacy was up and coming he had not being tested. Lacy is one trick guy and since his shoulder surgery he doesn't even got that anymore.
