Joe Calzaghe: "Hopkins a Racist, Got His Ass Kicked"

[warp1432]

It was actually not a hand injury.

Joe attempted to fight Johnson twice again after that. Is that what duckers do? Chase the guys their ducking?

How many times did Hopkins attempt to fight Joe again after ducking him?

Joe slaps alright. See my sig for proof!

A lot actually. First off the first time was hardly a duck. Hopkins wanted 3 million upstraight, not 1.5 which is what he would what he would have gotten with deductions and ****. Also Hopkins really had no reason to fight Calzaghe in the first place and the win would have been menningless because Calzaghe's best win was Eubank and he struggled with Reid.

If Hopkins would have beaten Calzaghe, one Calzaghe would have been forgotten and two Calzaghe struggled with Reid, so Hopkins wouldn't have gotten much credit anyway.

Hopkins really wanted a huge payday and was looking for someone who could give him that. Calzaghe's camp couldn't. Whether Hopkins priced himself out or not, that's not a duck.

At the same time I don't think Calzaghe ducked Johnson either, but anyway going back to the original "How many times did Hopkins call Calzaghe out after he ducked him"

He originally called him out for a fight at yankee stadium after the Winky fight. Then was calling out for him constantly when the fight wasn't signed still.

Now he's calling him out in Wales. What better way to finish off your career infront of your hometown, sliencing all the doubters, and then ride off to the sunset. Personally, if Calzaghe retires undefeated, that's fine, but he can't ***** about being racist and that's why he can't have a rematch.

Saying that Hopkins doesn't deserve a rematch though is pretty ******. It was a close competitive fight that a lot of people thought could go either way. Saying that Calzaghe won 9 rounds is ******. At the max he won 8, but It going 6-6 or 7-5 is fine.

Not only did Hopkins dismantle Pavlik, who was the big thing to beat Calzaghe (which I completely disagreed with for the record), but he's also dispatched Dawson's main victim's better then Dawson has himself! He also fought in a different style then had been fighting (Which was a lot closer to his boxer-puncher style). So it brings many new interesting questions to the rematch.

You could argue that the first fight was boring and that's why there shouldn't be one, but there having been many rematches that have happened that needed to happen, but the first fight wasn't that great.

....Hopkins nearly got stopped and Cal had completely figured him out by the later rounds. Bernard would take a serious assbeating in a rematch and end up quitting on his stool. Joe has nothing to prove by beating Hopkins more convincingly a second time around.

I also find it silly that "Hopkins is such a joke for faking a low blow!!", but yet no one mentions on how he fought on against Echols with a huge shoulder injury that he could have easily made Echols be DQd by. I'm not sure Calzaghe would do that.

[βetamax]

Nearly stopped? From The zero punches Calzaghe landed in round 10 prior to the low blow? Was he going to quit because he was too tired?

[CounterPuncher]

Can you imagine the worldwide outrage had Calzaghe say "I'll never let a black boy beat me." ? Yet Hopkins says it about a white boy and it's laughed off and hardly spoken about.

It was a very racist thing to say and he should have gotten in trouble for saying that, and hounded more by the press. But he was given a free ride.

Hopkins has been a really great boxer but he is a horrible person if you ask me, he is very bitter and will never let anyone forget the fact that he was in jail. Whoopy Doo! So what, who cares that he was inside. He's done well since coming out, good for him. Thats it.

Joe earns nothing from beating him again, cause all the Calzaghe haters will just say Hopkins is old. Nothing will ever be good enough for those losers.

[The Gully Gad]

Cant actually believe that Joe is ****** enough to believe Hop is a racist
If Joe dosent want to give him a rematch thats cool but dont look for ****ty excuses has to why

[El Dominicano]

Are you feeling ok, Dirk

There was some doubts about Mayweathers win over Castillo first fight correct, what did Mayweather do to all of his critics and doubters after the second fight

Cause these people defend ***** actz. B-Hop got his rematch against Mercado, Mayweather got his rematch against JLC, Pac against JMM/EM and the list goes on. How could joe NOT possibly want a rematch on a fight people felt could have gone either way...With most experts and boxers saying Bernard Won or better YET!! Joe's country men saying it could have gone either way...

Bernard is willing to fight Calzaghe in his backyard...

[TheGreatA]

I'm actually starting to think that Joe Calzaghe is his fanbase (no offense to his less biased supporters).

He is coming out with silly comments like these yet again, not that Hopkins doesn't deserve it after what he did during the promotion for their fight and in it.

It was a horrible fight (unfortunately because in their primes it would've been a great fight) but what is the point for Joe to be dismissing all of his challenges (Hopkins, Dawson) if he still hasn't made up his mind whether to continue his career or not?

There is nothing else left for him to fight except those two.

I guess I should write 'The end of two great careers' in my signature then.
