    calfaggy dont have time for boxing anymore. He is too busy complaining that Hatton had more fans and that he cant find any good quality coke.

    Calzaghe won the fight. Calzaghe already figured out how to fight Hopkins. Calzaghe ended that fight the stronger man. Calzaghe already knows Hopkins won't ever be able to keep up with him and this time, Hopkins won't ever catch him for another KD.

    For the guys saying whoever looks bruised at the end of the fight is the loser, look at Pacquiao-Clottey and say that again. Pacquiao was bruised and swollen worse than Clottey but he won all the same. Same thing here.

    That said, Calzaghe isn't training much anymore. It's been years since retirement. He's coked himself up. He's lost the edge. He's rich and paid. There is no way he'll ever fight again, so just let it go.

    Hopkins spent half the Calzaghe fight crawling around the apron yelping like a lame old sow. Classic actions of a bully who built his entire career on beating up little guys.

    Like any bully, when faced with someone who isn't scared of him, he runs crying to the teachers. Pathetic.

    Well, let's not go there. That was middleweight. Lightheavyweight Hopkins' career is a different breed altogether.

    I agree with all the black americans, and disagree with all the white brits!

    Hopkins won, you limey jack-toothed slugs.

    Calzaghe didnt want an immediate rematch. He definatley didnt want it after Hopkins schooled Pavlik.

    What makes you think Calzaghe still wants it?

    Now it wont be a fair fight, Calzaghe did coke Hopkins went on to dominate the LHW champ.

    Calzaghe didnt want it before and will only want it when his bank balance reduces and he is feinding for some sniff.

    I had Hopkins winning by two rounds. Rematch was the logical option, one that Hopkins was more than up for. Calzaghe, on the other hand, had bigger fish to fry in a shot-to-**** Roy Jones.

    There should have been an immediate rematch because the fight was very close.

    I believe that Joe was worrried that Hopkins would figure him out in a rematch though tbh.

    It would be good to see Calzaghe come out of retirement, fight the Super six winner and then fight Hopkins.

    The first fight was a borefest. I had it a draw. Hopkins got the knock down points but ruined them by acting like a c*nt from the 3 round onwards when he relished Joe had better speed. Joe got the win. Could have went either way TBT hence me having it as a draw. All in all why to fock would anyone want to watch them to go at it again. Hopkins is 106 and Joe has been sniffing away at charlie for a while.

    Jesus lads and ladies let it go.

    Remember Joe said after Kessler he had only one more year left in boxing. So he wanted to go to the US and take on the big-names of his era.

    If Calzaghe had lost to Hopkins he would have fought a rematch. He beat Hopkins and moved on with his plans. Joe felt there was nothing to prove.

    Hopkins had his chance in 2002. He should have fought Joe then.

    With regards to Hopkins re-matching Joe in Wales. It couldn't have happened then. Boxers over 40 will not get licensed in the UK unless they are the champion.

    Hopkins is now able to fight the UK, back in 2008/2009 he wouldn't get licensed.

    calzaghe won going away.no issue in the first fight. he would have stopped hopkins save for the 10th rd drama. it is a poor move by hopkins to call out a guy retire for over two years now. what could possibly be in calzaghes favor to go through that charade again.
