Joe Calzaghe's training

[Shanus]

why should hopkins go to england to fight when no-one in USA knew who Calzaghe was, also it was B-Hop that was in peoples p4p list not JC, JC should have went to USA


RJJ didnt need to fight him, he would have knocked Joe out

The same question could have been said about Jeff Lacy.

But he went.

jeff lacy believed his own hype, i said JC would whup dat ass and was glad when he did

I was watching it on ITV1 I think it was, and they showed the last few rounds of the fight live (After there was a seperate card being televised).. there was a fighter who was calling Calzaghe out on live television, claiming Calzaghe was ducking him.. he was white, but I forget who it was.. do you know?

I'm guessing Froch.

The fight was only televised in Germany. I think Khan fought Kindelan (rematch of Olympic final) the night after and we saw briefly the final few seconds of the Calzaghe fight from the night before, where he stopped Veit and that was it.

That was Carl Froch calling him out
"I would knock him spark out, smoke his boots" - Froch

It's a pity it wasn't in the Millenium Stadium.. I could have saw the fight in person.

Froch won't be giving Calzaghe any trouble if he fights like he did against Magee.

It's pretty funny thinking back, Froch wasn't worthy of a title shot, I guess it worked for throwing his name out there.

Hopkins accpeted $3mill to fight Calzaghe at the Millenium Stadium, only to ring up 15mins later and demand $6mill or no fight. Unbelievable.

I agree, I had that fight pretty much even before the KO.

who dya think would have won

i think b-hop would have neutralised his speed and won a clear decision

I think Calzaghe would of completely out-worked him.
