Are you also forgetting the fight Hopkins pulled out of in 2002 against Joe, right at the last minute? It took at the very least 6 years for Joe to get Hopkins into the ring. Maybe Hopkins was waiting until Joe was out of his prime?
back then hopkins was a mw, calzaghe was a smw, and virtually unheardof over here, it was a lose-lose situation for hopkins. he wanted roy jones after trinidad.....

As a British man (I was born in the same London hospital as Big Joe) I am very proud of the fact that Joe Calzaghe has been a World Champion for well over a decade and that he has beaten the likes of Eubank, Reid, Hopkins, Kessler, Mitchell etc. etc.
However, I have to say that Bernard Hopkins is far superior.
Sadly he proved the other night that he would "never let a white boy beat" him.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
Co-sign...
If he fights CalSlap like he fought Pav, i think it'll be goodnite for the welshman...Hopkins by TKO

wow some peolple are complete morons.
B-Hop will never beat Joe ( at least at his age).
B-Hop looked great against Pavlik was cause Pavlik was too slow for him. That is all.
B-Hop fought his fight, but hes style doesnt work with a guy like Joe whos too fast for him

Originally posted by boxasmash View PostJoe Calzaghe says that he will not fight Bernard Hopkins in a rematch. The undefeated Welsh fight continued to call his November 8 bout with Roy Jones Jr, the final fight of his career. He doesn't plan on fighting beyond the November date. Calzaghe is pleased that Hopkins dominated Kelly Pavlik last Saturday in Atlantic City, because when many reporters called Hopkins a shot fighter when Calzaghe won a close decision over him in April. [details]
He's acting like he's pissed at Hopkins off being a jerk to justify him not fighting him..when really he's scared of losing since the first fight was so close and Hopkins is coming off a big win.

i mean dont get me wrong B-Hop is a monster, but hes shown hes not the same boxer when he fought Oscar (not that hes was incredible during that fight, im just saying during those years leading up to Taylor), in the Joe fight his landing per round were rediculous
