Corrales Wants Hatton In Cardiff

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

Tszyu was 100% positive he would beat Hatton, look what happened. I'm sure Roy thought he would beat Tarver in the rematch...etc. etc. Hopkins is older and the clock is ticking. I don't think he is 100% confident he will win anyway, which is why we had the bickering over terms before the contract was settled.

This is becoming the year of upsets... So maybe Taylor can do it?

I think I'll put the smart money on Hopkins though.

Come on now... You know that when boxing conversations start, they quickly change direction.

That's cool, It's more interesting that way.

Calzaghe vs Lacy
Hatton vs Corrales

On the same bill would awesome!... And I think it could be a really BIG night for British boxing as I'm confident both fighters would win!

Oh yeah, I'm just having a little fun with you guys...it's just that I see this news on the first post and then jump to end too see people talking about Winky and Hopkins and I'm like what?!

While we're talking about this though, you seem to give Hopkins a lot of flak for ducking Winky. Well, at least he's decided not to fight him instead of agreeing to accept millions of dollars and then wussing out with three minutes left in the fight, like a certain Russian-Australian we all know .

Seriously, though, at 40 it's amazing Hopkins is still fighting at all. Of course he's going to pick and choose his opponents at this point.

By the way how many people here have been to an event at Cardiff's stadium? I've seen it from the outside and the place is incredible...nice location on the water as well.

Oh yeah, I was wondering about that, I thought it was only outdoors.

To get off topic again, I wish they'd have another fight in Cardiff castle, now that was a cool venue .

guzman was on the undercard i seem to recall first time we saw him.

I remember that night... Guzman "little tyson" looked good, ( I think he won it by 2nd round KO), but Calzaghe was trying everything to get his opponent out of there but just couldn't.

The other guy seemed to have come just last 12 rounds, pick up his cheque and leave.

(p.s... I've been to the millenium stadium "Rugby" and it's a lovely stadium!).

Yes the terrible Calzaghe fight I've seen once but the Guzman fight I have on CD...decent effort and it's cool seeing the castle around it.

What was the last big fight to take place in such a large venue? I know that Kostyz and I'm pretty sure Leija fought in a big stadium in Australia somewhere.

I remember Frank Bruno fought Oliver McCall at Wemberley Stadium in 94 or 95'...

Not so sure about the States.
