Hopkins: 'Calzaghe Not Bigger Fight Than Maskaev'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA/WBC super middleweight champion Mikkel Kessler may be the happiest man in boxing after hearing that Bernard Hopkins would not come out of retirement to face IBF/WBO super middleweight Joe Calzaghe. [details]

its not the hw fight would draw 500 ,000 buys at least

[Black Pedro]

what? Calzaghe is bigger fight than Maskaev? or Hops know the he could not beat Calzaghe.

[Shanus]

He just wants the status of being middleweight and heavyweight champ.

Technically a win over Calzaghe would mean much more than a win over Maskaev, but the heavyweight belt is what makes that fight worth while.

[Black Pedro]

he wants to be roy jones.

i Luv Hopkins but he chatin S.hit their a average heavyweight with 5 losses on his record or the undisputed supermiddleweight champion off the world 42-0 unbeaten champion who has run his divison for a decade a p4p top 5 calzaghe needs 2 start callin hopkins out making his move, sayin tht smart move by hopkins on the other hard i don't believe hopkins could beat calzaghe

It's funny how everybody is thinking Joe is the more dangerous fight...I would love to see the fight with Joe vs Bernard, but Oleg is a Heavyweight, with Heavyweight power, who if you didn't noticed, just knocked out Rahman in his last fight, so that is a challenge.

The one big problem I have is Hopkins is fighting Oleg, and if he wins, he will retire without fighting a better Heavyweight like WLAD, kind of like how Roy didn't face Lewis.
