    Just watched that press conference. BHop's doesn't seem to like someone standing up to his BS. Calzaghe's got nerves of steel.

    Is Bully Boy Hopkin's losing the mind games?

    yeah. I think this time Hopkins has met his match. Everyone else until now has let b-hop do whatever he wanted at press conference. This time it looks like B-hop tactics don't work so well and I tkink he knows it as well that's why he's been rather quite for the last couple of weeks. I don't think he needs anything special to sell this fight as he did with Winky fight. This fight sells itself.
     
  3. What press conference, divulge!!!

    P.S. Any links to the countdown? Anyone? Nudge nudge, wink wink :shock:

    CALZAGHE's a tough mother ****er he didn't take any nonsense from shieka when he tried to indimate him at the weigh in for there fight and there's no way he'll let hopkins ge a way with anything in the remaining build up to this fight

    I see what you mean but i very much doubt hes afraid or intimidated so he doesnt really need nerves of steel.Its only bravery if your scared to begin with.
    Im splitting hairs arent i?:D but youre right he cares nothing for B Hops bollocks.

    It's the sicilian in him, they don't budge an inch.

    I hope we get vintage calzaghe in this fight because whenever there is a big fight he finds another level.

    So exciting seeing him stand toe to toe dropping his hands in the last round even though hes winning via a landslide.

    Total contempt and lack of respect for even his best opponents

    You lot are fishing. Come on be honest, if anyone looked flustered it was Joe.

    Depends which one we're talking about. Are we talking about the one where Hopkins stood deadly still with his hood up? It's okay to occasionally admit Joe aint perfect you know.

    Did he steal your missus? Run over your dog? Steal your dinner money?

    Calm down stalker I was being serious. The video where DLH gives a speech & Hopkins just stands there deadly still. Who looks more flustered when they go face to face?

    What are you getting so worked up about?

    Why is so much emphasis placed on press conferences? :?

    The only important thing is how they look at the weigh in, and how they fight. This is a boxing match, not who can talk the most **** whilst remaining cool contest

    We are talking about two veterans here, all that talk ain't going to mean **** all

    I agree but my stalker is taking exception to everything I post so I was just emphasising that I was being serious. Okay?

    Because Hopkins is fighting an elite fighter who is the same size or naturally bigger than him, unlike DLH or Trinidad.

    Hopkins needs to man up know but i think Calzaghe is going to put on a clinic.:bbb
