Comments Thread For: Hopkins vs Cleverly: Warren Wants a Cardiff Clash

[UglyPug]

Hopkins secretly wants no part of Calzaghe. He is going to act like he does because of his "ill never lose to a white boy" comment, because ironically and humorously, he WAS in fact subsequently defeated by a "white boy". Deep down hopkins knows calzaghe will ball all over him ONCE again

haha i still don't know how ****ing ****** hopkins must feel after making that comment and NOT even WINNING the fight. hahaha all the little kids in the hood would walk up to him and whisper in his ear "joe calzaghe"

yeah, Hopkins is the first person in the history of boxing to predict and gaurantee a win and lose. First time it's ever happened.

And hopkins was man enough to demand a rematch but joe didn't want to (his life, I wont blame him). So hopkins moved on to the "next best whiteboy" available which was kelly pavlik who calzaghe chose not to fight instead going after jones and the rest is history.

I don't see this happening, Clev will 99% fight Maccarinelli which is a pointless pointless fight, Clev won't learn anything from it. It's purely a Millennium stadium money spinner.

Can you ever remember a fighter making a racial insult before a fight, saying he would "never lose to somebody" of that race? only to subsequently lose to them?

I like Hopkins, and he deserves a better all time ranking than calzaghe, but he's not better than calzaghe. but he got taken for a ride on dai'ello bus. And he looked extremely ig'nant and foolish for saying that after getting beat. but he did what he did, and has went on to dominate. it was ******, and wrong, period.

cleverly is definitely not ready for hopkins at this stage in his career. bernard would take him to school for 12 rounds. by the time cleverly is ready for b-hop he would have retired. warren is just using his name to boost publicity for his fighter.

Why would he fight Hopkins again? it was the most boring fight ever and no one would buy it on ppv. Instead he fought Roy Jones coming of a series of impressive wins and beat him up and made a lot of $

did you follow the conversation? The guy above me said "bernard secretly wants no part of calzaghe"

I stated the fact that bernard was man enough to demand a rematch, so kill that noise. Like I said I don't blame joe for not taking the rematch, his life. he could have after the jones fight if he wanted to, they could have made good money together on joe's home turf.

You don't know jack **** then:

"I feel obligated to reclaim the heavyweight championship for the white race. . . . I should step into the ring again and demonstrate that a white man is king of them all" - James J. Jeffries (before getting badly beat by Jack Johnson).

"I am not letting any black man take the title from me." - Alan Minter (before losing to marvin hagler)

I like Hopkins, and he deserves a better all time ranking than calzaghe, but he's not better than calzaghe.

He has a better ATG ranking and in his prime he was a much better fighter than Joe ever was. 43 year old hopkins nearly got the W against JC, imagine what a prime bhop would have done.
