B-hop is now getting to Joe

[215Chaingang]

At a press conference yesterday to help hype Joe Calzaghe vs Bernard Hopkins, Calzaghe took no time in ripping apart Hopkins. Calzaghe held back nothing, using curse words to trash Hopkins. Calzaghe descibed Hopkins as being a phoney and that his intentions are to send Hopkins into retirement on Saturday evening when the two face off on HBO.

At the conference, Calzaghe dissed Hopkins, stating: “All this s*** about being the Executioner and
wearing that ****** hat and telling everyone he’s a legend, what the f*** is that?”

Calzaghe blasted Hopkins further, adding: “You are a f****** phoney mate, a phoney, a f****** phoney, let’s have it right. This will be his last fight.”

Don't mind Calzaghe. He's just having a bit of a melt down. He's slowly coming to grips with the fact that he can't win.

Seriously though, it sounds like Hop is getting to him. What happened to just laughing that stuff off.

Maybe he's letting it piss him off, maybe he fights better pissed. Hatton laughed off Mayweather's antics and that got him nowhere. Or maybe he's just scared. Hopkins has said a lot of **** to piss him off, which is Hopkins' usual gameplan. Get you pissed before the fight, get you in the ring, and frustrate you until you fight with your emotions rather than your head.

Bernard is the ****ing man. I'm going to miss this dude like no other.

Hatton TRIED to laugh it off but right at the end, when it mattered most Floyd got to him. You could see it with that "throat slash" gesture during the weigh in. It was all she wrote from then on, actually it was all she wrote the moment the fight was signed.

Guys, he's not really gotten to Joe, certainly not that much. Your reading those words with your own tone, not Joe's. If there's a video I'd imagine like all the other video's if you watch them, Joe's pretty calm and grinning, far from shaken. Don't try to make something of nothing. Bernards said far far worser things, so if anything there's more of a call for saying he's rattled. And please don't say he's been to prison.
