Why is Calzaghe scared to fight in America?

atsch

 

Calzaghe wants to fight Hopkins and has said he will travel to the USA to make the fight. But as we all; know, Borenard has shat himself as he didn't think for one minute that Calzaghe would agree to fight him in America. So now Borenard has to find another way to scupper the match. In the meantime,Calzaghe is in talks with Woods in case the Hopkins fighht breaks down(as likely). Now what would the point of Calzaghe v Woods in the USA?

 

...and kessler smashes wee little winky into next week.

:rasta

 

I only wish Joe would stop saying that he wants to fight in America if he doesn't really mean it. It makes him look bad over here.
btw, I think Joe would whip Bernard and Roy or whomever we put in front of him.

 

You missed a part of that sentence out:

Hopkins fought a pound-for-pound elite

; Joe beat up the best challenger in a weak-ass division,

There, that's better. :good

 

No, I will not give you strength but I'll give you te benefit of the doubt cause Joe said to Setanta's Steve Bunce that Bernard Hopkins is the best fight at 175 and he's willing to go wherever, MSG, Yankee Stadium, Vegas and I do believe him in part. Steve feels that that fight will definitely happen but since Hopkins and GBP is pointing towards July, Joe has a showdown with Woods in March for a major tune-up and that's perfectly admissible... But if that other fight with Hopkins doesn't happen or if Calzaghe doesn't travel, what are we supposed to believe? That Hopkins is running away from the man he called out? For Chrissake... Oh, and Nazim Richardson should get his ass fired, wtf does he think he is?!...

 

Not a matter of being scared, if you could draw 50,000 fans to watch you fight in one place, and 25,000 in the other, which will you pick?

 

Do you have ANY idea lhow long little Winky would last against Kessler?

I would have thought the point was self-evident, being that a picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words, but.....

Have you had your vision checked recently?

 

I think the american people will not except Calzaghe as ATG until he comes here and beats a great fighter like Hopkins, I personally think Calzaghe is a great fighter that has skills to be a ATG, just not the resume IMO.

 

And then hif he beats Hopkins .....

"Hopkins was shot"
"Hopkins is a natural middleweight"

blah blah blah


It's almost impossible to win over the American public if you aren't American.
If Joe has decided "why bother" then I don't blame him.

But let's wait & see. He hasn't turned down the fight yet.

 

Americans have gave guys like Pac and Wlad alot of credit for coming here and beating the best we have to offer, they definitely earned there spots a top there respective divisions. Hopkins might not be the fighter he used to be, but he is the ATG name that Calzaghe needs on his resume to complete his legacy.

 

Calzaghe is scared to step outside his backyard! He hasnt done ever done it, he could've fought prime RJJ or Prime Hopkins...why would he do it now???
Or maybe now that Jones is shot and Hopkins is 43, Joe might come here!
