    Calzaghe hates Hopkins. He says he is a racist and he kicked his sorry ass. No way will Joe ever fight Hopkins again, he doesn't want to give him another payday and bore his fans to sleep.
    Here's the irony,

    Calzaghe's last fight was boring

    Hopkins' was thrilling to watch

      Jones Jr. was the last ass that Joe kicked. And man did he kick that ass hard.
      I forgot about Roy, already. But I'll agree, he did kick Roy's ass, embarassing actually. Thankfully I never liked Roy either.

        Secondly, I don't blame him either. The first time out Hopkins made him look a fool even with his thyroid condition, a rematch against a 100% Bernard is a death sentence for his undefeated streak.
        You make some constructive critical posts on Calzaghe but this isn't one of them and just seems a little ignorant and cynical.

        Of course Lacy was his biggest most recent beat down, because it was one of the biggest most one sided beat downs of the decade. But to say he didn't soundly hurt and beat RJJ and Kessler is just misleading. Calzaghe ran away with those fights, soundly beat them, hurt them, messed their faces up, in fact even more so than Lacy in many ways.

        Roy Jones had a massive cut as a result of a punch. He hurt him at a few others points aswell, RJJ himself said he punched harder then he first thought. Kessler was soundly beaten, had one eye significantly bruised, swelling and pretty much closed. Also caught him with a body shot with which rocked him, and he admitted hurt him. They were for the most part, dominated.

        Calzaghe as much as you want him to, will not beat Hopkins again. There's no point, it wasn't a close SD, it was about as thin a SD as you can get with one judge scoring for Hops by one round, the other 2 in consensus of a clear win for the winner by 3, and then 5 - the latter more than Taylor ever managed. Most agree with this. It happened, it's over.

          Honestly, I can't wait for Joe to retire. I don't even care about the Hopkins rematch. I know that at the end of the day Bernard's legacy and place among the hallowed halls of "All Time Greats" was cemented 7 years ago with his win over Trinidad. Joe will never have a spot in time amongst the elites.

          I just can't stand anything about Joe, straight up. His attitude makes Mayweather seem humble by comparison, and his record doesn't have two legs to stand on to warrant his claims. Plus his style is absolute garbage, it's a pure work rate style designed to win fights with pitter patter shots.

          I'll throw a party when he's retired. I'm buying everyone who feels like I do about Joe an e-gift when he's gone.
          ahmen to that GREAT post

            Thank Jones for making it boring.

            By the way, I enjoyed it very much. Speak for yourself

              Kessler could have been down when Joe got him with that body shot, but that ****** yank referee intervened and gave him precious time to recover.

                True. That pissed me off. I think Kessler could have been taken out.

                I love Kessler, by the way. That was a hard fight to watch cause I'm a fan of both.

                    Joe is garbage, what annoys me is people are trying EVERYTHING to have Joe as number 1 p4p when he clearly the WORST fighter in the top 5. What does p4p means? It means Pacquiao, Marquez, Mayweather, prime Oscar, Jones, Whitaker, Chavez. Maybe Hatton or Haye. But having this fraud at the top 3 makes every good boxer thinking of having a decent career, try o pull a Joe Calzaghe, fighting in Europe for 10 years defending a tittle there for 10 years against fringed contenders and a decade into that move up 7 pounds to LHW and beat two 40 year olds who don't even hold a belt, ignoring the reigning champion, Dawson, and call it a career. LOL anyone?
