No friend, because Joe only brings them money in the UK, goes for his end and the other. Hopkins turned down 2.5 million in 2001 - 2002 was it to go for Joppy for sub-500,000$. Fighters don't want to lose a win streak no matter who they are, even the so called fearless ones.
Yes let's take Frank's word for it.:thumbsup Maybe he should target people that are in his weightclass. How many times was he supposed to move up and take on a Clinton Woods or a Glen Johnson only to pull out. Brutal fighters are usually ducked not slappers like Joe. Face it he has a ton of title defense's yet Lacy was his only real huge challenge yourself type fight.And we all know how Lacy ended up.
BTW Joe wont leave home because he is worried about not getting one of his BS stoppages via a flurry of slaps that dont even land.
He's also been a legitimately injured fighter for much of his career, was Vitali ducked a **** fighter like Rahman, or was he legitimately injured? And you don't find Joe brutal? Christ mate, he ****s people up nasty.
It was HBO who said that Hopkins deliberatly priced himself out of the fight after agreeing the purse.
Calzaghe Is Incapable of losing to someone with Kessler's style. Joe also has the brain of Enzo Calzaghe.
If we are talking Beyer avoiding Calzaghe then he is a TOP name! But if Calz-huggers are discussing Kessler KO win over same Beyer - then he is a BUM! Come on - Kessler called out for Joe long before Joe even thought about fighting him!
Am i wrong? Just about everyone of his TKO wins look the same. Slap slap slap hometown ref stops the fight another TKO for Joe.
:yep :yep Real spit main!^^^Kessler is going to win this fight I always thought he would but I never thought Calzone would fight him (and i know that he's fighting Calzahge) I jus call him Calzone but Calzahge thinks beating Jeff Lacy was his career defining moment but what he has to realize is that Jeff never really beat anybody either!
BHOP..NEVER ****ING DUCKED CALSLAPPY IN ****ING 01. He is a ****ing middleweight and Calzaghe 168. STFU you ******ed ****** ****ing ******s.
Why was it a ***** to get him and Palle to ink a deal then? And if you haven't noticed, I rate Kessler and his accomplishments very highly, included that starching of Beyer, who nobody did that definitively.
Kessler is going to knock that protected mother****er out just b/c his fans have turned into maniacal ******s over the last year or so. They used to be normal, I dont know WTF happend.
