Calzaghe, Hopkins Verbally Collide at Presser

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The post-fight press conference to Joe Calzaghe's split-decision win over Bernard Hopkins was full of harsh words from both sides. When Hopkins took the podium to speak with the media at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, he attacked the decision, the CompuBox punch stats that favored Calzaghe by over 200 landed punches and for good measure he threw a few verbal jabs at Calzaghe.

I need to watch the presser, not read it. There has gotta be a video of it out there, somewhere, y'all.

No. No. It was clearly a white guy.

Hopkins wanted no part of Calzaghe 6-7 years ago, when he was suppose to sign a contract that would have brought calzaghe over here to fight him.

Calzaghe can't force ppl to fight him

a white guy landed more punches, ill give you that, but who would you rather be? the guy who got hit with a bunch of slaps, or the guy who got put on his ass, was hurt, told he needed a knockout to win, and was cut???

I'd rather be the guy that won.

He got hurt? Thats your opinon. I'll take the win, thanks.

fair enough, where im from if youre more beat up than the guy you fought, you lost, if a judge saying you won makes you feel better, more power to you. History will reflect that a 43 year old Hopkins beat a UK legends ass but lost a decision, im cool with that as well.

When are you going to quit with your Warren propaganda , Bhop said JC was forced to fight in the states to Cals face and Cal said nothing to refute it , Warren did not want to risk JC getting beat as he was milking the UK for every penny he could get , no way did he want JC in with Jones or Hop in the US back then .
