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

[Underdog82]

There's no better way for Joe Calzaghe to get under B-Hop's skin than this: Calling him a racist, Hopkins beaten by a white boy and never giving him a second chance.

Exactly I would do the same thing just to piss him off and leave him with a "what if/I could of done this or that" scenario for the rest of his life.

Hopkins doesn't deserve a rematch with Calzaghe, he talked **** that wasn't acceptable and couldn't walk the walk when it came down to it.

So getting losing a split dec. to him (joe) doesnt warrant a rematch? Is that what you're saying?

[Bobby Shaw]

There was little doubt that Joe Calzaghe would entertain another fight with Bernard Hopkins. He made his position clear during a recent interview, blasting Hopkins like never before. He called Hopkins a racist and said a rematch would never happen. Calzaghe won a close decision over Hopkins in April. [details]

Once more Joke Calzaghe is looking for a way out,he knows he was gifted that fight.

[Clegg]

hard to say a fight could've gone "either way" when the result was a UD, not a SD.......

Wrong. Hopkins-Taylor I and II were both UD, but there are lots of people who scored at least one of them for Hopkins.

most ppl thought the hopkins calzaghe fight could've gone either way, cuz hopkins did more damage, but calzaghe made it "look" like he did.....

I don't think that's how most people scored the fight.

actually "watch" fights when you watch them, and don't pay attention to commentators and crowd noise, and look at the guy who gets hit hardest.....

No can do, I have no TV, only a radio, so that's all I can score fights by

No way that should have been a split D.. no way...un real. GAH BAGE!

[Chunk..]

easy. just throw more punches each round. thats what got joe the decision the first time. joe was more "active" i guess, tho he wasn't effective....

Bernard can't keep up with Joe's workrate, he's 40 odd years old. His age will show again if he fights Joe in a rematch. You can't put a new engine in a 43 year old body.

lmao @ popkins being a racist

first : a black man cannot be racist in america or in this world when all areas of life are dominated by the caucasian nothing bernard could say or do would harm or have any affect on a decent number of caucasans

second: what has nard DONE that has been racist or racial in his life time

third: nard is a worldclass orator/ish talker..he doesnt believe half the things coming out of his mouth pre fight so why even take that seriously

You see, saying a "black man cannot be racist" is the type of ignorant mentality that keeps you people at the bottom of the barrel.

Black people are the most racist people in the country. You teach your children to hate white children from an early age. All this hate from blacks will come around and bite you back. Believe me, things like that can only go on so long before soceity gets fed up with your double standard, hypocritical bull****. If you think you are at the bottom of the barrel now, keep up your hate whitey attitudes, then see how really low you people will be forced to go.

not only would the hopkins rematch be his toughest fight, it makes him the most money too! i call that a no-brainer. joe's a ***** tho.......

if not hopkins, i'll give him props for fighting bad chad. its either retire, or fight one of those guys, anything else is questionable.

i'm not too convinced on dawson quite yet, he didnt win his fight with johnson, not in my eyes, and although he thouroughly beat tarver, there were moments in that fight where tarvers experience was too much for dawson, until he got aggressive again. the thing is, i thought that the pressure of johnson and his experience won him the fight, and dawson really looked discouraged in the ring against him, dawson couldnt' keep him off of him and was getting hit, johnson has a high output of punches, always. so against someone like calzaghe, who is faster, faster and more combos, and with more experience, i think calzaghe would be too much for dawson right now. i think that dawson needs to see some other world class fighters before stepping in with calzaghe, but that is me, that is my take.

i think calzaghe should fight hopkins or maybe fight glenn johnson.........pending johnson wins tonight, which i think he will. i think that johnson stops the guy he's fighting tonight....... but if he did, calzaghe wouldn't fight him anyway, too risky. i would say johnson is unknown and does't bring anything to the table, but calzaghe's career is filled with guys like that, i.e. manfredo, when he should've been fighting someone tough.........

Hopkins - Taylor 1 was a SD.

[Kris Silver]

It's strange.

Up until a month ago Hopkins was not much of a worthy notable win, as he was old and shot.

Then as if by magic he's not that past it, is still great and a rematch is worthy.

Could it be, the guy with the best shot at beating Calzaghe is constantly the guy people will rant on about all day, as someone Calzaghe needs to face, even if it contradicts what was previously said and he already beat them.
