Hopkins: "Next Time, I'm Knocking Joe Calzaghe Out"

[Dirk Diggler UK]

calzaghe, taylor... i like an active b-hops chances at knocking out either in a rematch. i know its bold in the case of calzaghe, having never been stopped, but the combination of B-Hops rebirth at a higher weightclass, the fact that he already dropped Calzaghe and landed all the effective punches on him in the first bout despite a year layoff, and the factor of his recent high activity (this would be his 3rd fight within 1 year), I think he could do it... he already vindicated the "losses" to JT by dominating the man who slumped him in the corner. b-hop can vindicate the "loss" to zaghe with a win over roy OR joey C.

My dream scenario is for Roy to ice Joe in 5 rounds (haha, I know), and then for B-Hop-Roy II to result in a 12 round epic battle in which both men taste the canvas. They are still exchanging blows at the final bell ala Sugar Shane and DLH. They go to the cards for a split draw. they both bury the hatchett, shake hands in the middle of the ring, and retire- the two best fighters lb for lb of the last 20 years!

Share out the crack please.

It just seems like Calzaghe feels lucky that he won last time and doesn't want to risk it again.

Hopkins didnt wanna risk it in the first place.

Im still puzzled how much you cry about alleged ducking yet you have the biggest quacker of the lot in your avatar.

Hopkins doesn't care about risk, he doesn't duck anyone and has always fought the best, the same can't be said about slappy that's for sure. FFS he called slappy out, zaghe and his dad probably thought Hopkins was done and shat their pants when he decked Joe in round 1.


Bowe ducked Lewis..so what? Bowe doesn't call himself a legend killer..so don't be puzzled..

Dude I have full respect for you, but you are literally yes, completely dreaming. Hopkins is not suddenly way better like your making out, and things aren't suddenly in his favour in re matches. He's getting older by the way, at a faster rate than anyone else. Taylor beat him twice and Joe once all fair and square. That's boxing move on, you lost.

Hopkins doesn't deserve endless rematches like your making out. Roy is not icing Joe in 5 rounds lol he couldn't ice Tito. Nard couldn't hurt Joe to anywhere near the extent necessary for a KO. He has neither the power to trouble Joes chin significantly given flush hard shots he's had off others and been ok, nor the work rate for a TKO. He couldn't come close to knocking out Kelly, a free standing target he could hit at will.

Calzaghe had a poor performance and is wise to Hopkins tactics and styles now, he wins clearer in a rematch which he won't get. I have full respect for his win the other weekend, but it doesn't vindicate 2 losses to Taylor either. Styles make fights.

Bernard Hopkins plans to cause hell during the November 8 showdown between Joe Calzaghe and Roy Jones Jr. Hopkins, speaking with Steve Bunce's Boxing Hour, said that he would not consider light heavyweight champ Chad Dawson as a potential opponent, but promised to make the winner of Calzaghe-Jones change their mind about fighting him. In the last few days, both Calzaghe and Jones showed no interest in a rematch with Hopkins. Calzaghe won a close decision over Hopkins in April, while Jones won a decision over Hopkins in 1993.

I hope that happens, but in the meantime
