Why didn't Calzaghe/Hopkins happen much earlier?

    Hopkins asked for more money after at 1st agreeing on everything, when he was rightfully told no, he pulled out.

    It was all ready then at the last minute Hopkins demanded to double his purse.
    At that point he was told to **** off.
    And then Calzaghe spent the rest of his career being labled a ducker by kids who no nothing about boxing.
    Unless its on fight night on there playstation.

    It just didn't happen.........thats the way it goes sometimes. Now lets end it before Calzaghes nuthuggers come in here and tell us about how Hopkins ducked him in fear and how Calzaghe had the worlds most devastating one punch KO power until he jammed his pinky finger.

    Really it's more Frank Warren, on one hand he fead him a stable diet of decent to dreadful fighters to build up his reputation then on the other he starved him by failing him to get the big fights. Calzaghe should have broke off from FW long before he did

    Your right it just didnt happen.
    Hopkins wanted more money so it never happened.
    Boxing is like that an it happens all the time.
    But the haters are as bad as the huggers.
    And your last coment doesnt help.
    your post Started well ended badly.

    I cant disagree with you there.
    He should have but for one reason or another he didnt.
    And i dont think he realised how good he was untill after the Kessler fight.
    And that is Warrens fault for not letting him off the leash sooner.
    Basically Frank Warren is a ****.

    It's all about the £££ for FW he doesn't give a **** about his fighters, thats why he's try to milk Amir Khan for all he's worth, if Amir Khan had beaten Prescot rest assured he would still be fighting part time milk men.
