    Punches were thrown? I thought Calzaghe didn't fight outside the UK.

    Hopkins looked at someone in the crowd, winked, turned round at Calzaghe and said 'there ain't no way I'm ever losing to a white boy'. If his ass ever steps up to the plate he is gonna have to accept that the 'white boy' is gonna whopp that ass.

    I would of said the same afew months back, but since then i have been analysing this match up.

    Bernard Hopkins can beat Joe Calzaghe.



    Yeah Bernard Hopkins is a tough guy, street toughness. On his beyond the glory, he said the things he learnt o the street, psychologically helping him in his boxing career and he still applies them street skills.



    "Ether you can be a lamb, or a wolf. I chose to be a Wolf"

    Bernard Hopkins on being in Jail.

    Look idiot they are already there brodcasting live on the radio. The weigh-in hasn't started but other fighters and people in the sport are already at the MGM arena walking around signing autographs and doing interviews. This happens all the time at big fights.

    Some truth in this post. Below is taken from the BBC website.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7133862.stm




    American Bernard Hopkins insisted he "would never lose to a white person" when he came face-to-face with Joe Calzaghe in Las Vegas on Friday.

    Calzaghe, 35, beat Mikkel Kessler to become undisputed super-middleweight champion last month and is keen to fight Hopkins, 42, next year.
    And the pair almost came to blows at the MGM Grand ahead of Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather's weigh-in.
    "I would never let me a white boy beat me," Hopkins said five times.
    "You can print that. I would never lose to a white person. He said on record that he's going to take the fight and that's all you need to hear.

    "I haven't ducked nobody in my career, my credibility is intact. Kessler is not in my league, man. Who is Kessler? You think Kessler was a true warrior?"
    Calzaghe and Hopkins caused such a commotion in the MGM Grand media centre that former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis broke off an interview nearby to listen, as dozens of journalists circled the pair.
    "He ducked me four years ago," said Welshman Calzaghe. "He thinks he's a legend but he lost to Jermain Taylor twice and, believe me, he will lose to me.
    "He will not beat me throwing 12 punches a round. I throw 1,000 punches a fight. He'll get his arse kicked, full stop.
    "I'm undefeated for 17 years - look at his face and look at mine. He's all mouth. When he fights he doesn't fight, he holds.
    "He's 42 and can't throw the punches like me, and if we do fight he's going to get beat." Former middleweight king Hopkins, now campaigning at light-heavy, has a career record of 48 wins, four losses and a draw from 54 fights.

    Hopkins is from the streets. I bet he would get the better of Calzaghe in a street fight.
