      Probably the same reason Hopkins ducked Calzaghe in 02.

        Most people duck "The Road Warrior". Mostly because he's not a big name, doesn't draw, and is a dangerous fighter. That usually=duck.

          He wasnt ducked, Joe got injured.
          Joe is far superior than Glen.

              On the money bro..

              Because Joe doesn't fight legit threats
              C'mon man, Joe knew that Johnson would come at him non stop and hurt him.. Johnson is a very effective fighter

                He pulled out twice, not once.

                Think rationally: why else would Glen Johnson, a guy starving for big fights with a track record of fighting anywhere and everywhere, decide, "Enough of this."

                He knew the fight would never come off. And true to form - Calzaghe never mentioned his name again,

                  Calzaghe was ready to fight a month later.

                  Good lie though.

                    Hmmm so this is classified as a duck but Bhop pulling out of a fight with Calzaghe doesn't?

                    Strange.
