    Calzaghe was fighting at 175 for the first time in his career.

    Calzaghe was fight in US first time in his career. Fought in Hopkins hometown. Why not fight in Wales? Calzaghe still landed more punches on Hopkins that Roid Jones or anyone for that matter. Calzaghe was fighting a Ruiz imitator, leading with his head, one punch and grabbing, etc.

    ESPN? Remember when Max Kellerman said that he would never recognize the WBO title as long as a Klitschko had the title? How biased is that?!

    Actually, 4th time at LHW for Hopkins - he debuted at LHW, and fought Tarver, Winky (catchweight but close enough to LHW) and Calzaghe at LHW.

    and Joe is 36 years old.

    I Am British & And A Supported Of Calzaghe

    I Still Havd It 114 - 113 Hopkins....that Slapping (of Which, Hardly Anything Was Flush) Was Doing Nothing To Bernard. Yes He Spoiled, Yes He Hugged....but What He Did Worked....joe Didn't Deserve To Win....he Hardly Threw A Meaningful Punch In The Fight!!! And Bernard Fought A Good Gameplan Not Using Too Much Energy And Countering....

    & I Am Sorry........ This Is A 43 Year Old Man He Was Fighting...i Was Not Impressed Atall....

    & Now He Wants Shot Jones....all I Can Say To That Is That I Sincearly Hope Jones Can Somehow Get Enough Stamina To Work For More Than 30 Seconds A Round And Embarress Joe Again Then We Can Get Some Serious Exposing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Anyways Congrats 2 Joe On Slapping His Way To A Victory!!!!

    You are a Calzaghe supporter yet you sincerely hope he gets exposed against Jones? You must have a pretty interesting definition of support

    You Brits are just making me (and I'm sure others) dislike Joe with your frantic support. I know what I saw yesterday and it wasn't anything special.

    Oh look, an islander who knows everything. How unheard of. And it could post smiley faces too. Face it fool, Joe came to the US to prove something. Epic fail resulted.

    ok ok I DO NEED TO JUSTIFY THIS STATEMENT

    Calzaghe is good! I never denied that! & from Britian so I support Calzaghe great hand speed Iron chin.....he is a great SMW for sure!!!!!!!
    HOWEVER I am a fan of 'BOXING' although i support my country's fighters looking impartially at a fight is key (hence I think BHOP WON). Taking a fight with Roy Jones is stupid.......He is an ATG and A P4P king.....he has been beaten visciously twice and had fought 2 b-level fighters and a shot way above his weight Trinidad....He has no business in a Ring with Calzaghe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Taking backwards steps is not what I want from Joe!!! He is at the end now and should be looking for CHALLENGES not the easy win WITH big names....hence why i think this move deserves some exposing from Roy if they do fight

    & in response to Mutley
    **** you!!!.....as i expressed before I am an impartial fan of boxing.....Floyd is my Avatar because he is P4P king (for now anyway)....every time he has been doubted he has won....as a person I honestly think he is a twat...& should fight the winner of Cotto/Margo AND STOP CHATTING **** instead of beating up Hatton again. (I wouldnt nessasary call myself a supporter (AS I DONT EVEN REALLY LIKE THE GUY) but you have to admire the skill anyone that cannot recognise this knows **** all about boxing)
