Calzaghe tells Hopkins to "Get in line"

In all honesty I can't knock Joe nor can I knock Hopkins. Joe has proven himself as a great fighter in our era. I have never been a fan of his and I don't really rate him as this untouchable champion that many of his fans proclaim. His two biggest wins come from a washed up champ and a untested overhyped champ. I'm skeptical as to where I would place him on an ATG list....he might not even belong there. I guess its a matter of opinion and preference I'm sure in Europe his p4p the best with Hatton and the Klits but here in the states they are solid fighters with questionable resumes and or questionable hearts. That's what makes boxing great there are so many different factors involved it keeps the sport and its fans intense.

 

Love how Calzaghe said that after how lousy B Hop looked against Winky, there isn't much competition there anyway.

"Ol POPKINS"

hahahahahahahahhaa

 

I gotta say, if this fight happens, I'd be really conflicted.

Hope it's a draw.

 

Yea, correct. He just needs a rematch with Winky. The world is crying for that to happen. :|

 

I think their career paths have been pretty similar but what Hopkins has done in the last few years has made him a truly great fighter. Calzaghe is headed down the same path but I doubt he can sustain it at the top level as long as Hopkins has done.

 

Joe can go **** himself for all I'm concerned.

He needs Hops more than Hops needs him.

 

Joe doesn't need Hopkins, let Hops go **** himself.

 

Like when Joe called out Taylor knowing full well Taylor will be fighting Pavlik 2 months earlier :-(

 

Nah man. The date for the fight was already set.

 

March 2008 Hopkins vs Calzaghe for the undisputed Super Middleweight Title. :good

 

I don't think Bernard's coming back down... I think if they fight at all, it would be at a catchweight. I just want to see Hops vs Calzaghe.. I don't care if no titles are on the line...

 

Well he was 170 for the Wright fight, so I can see him coming down 2 more pounds to capture another division.

 

And why is that?
