Hopkins has officially offered Calzaghe 50/50. Now let's see what happens...

LOL, what weightclass is trini in now? are you being serious? he's come out of the woodwork for one last payday, even this shot version of RJJ will hand tito his ass. tito beat joppy who's best win was against a 173 year old duran, then got horribly exposed by X. tito's best weight weren't 160.

just like lacy was favourite against cazlaghe, ay numbnuts.

 

Hopkins lost badly to RJJ anyway

So obviously that's not criteria for losing your status, as he's still a legend according to yanks

So really it makes no odds whether he fought RJJ

 

I'm not so sure about that but I would have no doubts whatsover about how to read it if Calzaghe doesn't sign... Not being sure doesn't mean much really, I hope Joe signs and makes it a great show.

 

did jones want any part of him? did you see RJJ calling out joe's name around that time? this ain't all one way like you are trying to potray it.

in 97 it wouldn't have made sense for calzaghe to take that fight, he was 23-0, green and only had eubank under his belt, it would have been stupid to bump him up and throw him in the ring straight away with RJJ.

 

And Hopkins built his legacy by winning fights in which he held a physical advantage

When he didn't hold this advantage, he lost, coincidence? **** no

We can do this all day. Joe is still unbeaten, and will remain so. He's not losing to a black man that throws 5 punches a round

 

The point is that even if Joe fought RJJ and got his ass handed to him (he wouldn't, its a close fight) it wouldn't impact on his legacy

As Hopkins has already been owned by RJJ, and remains a legend according to yanks

Geddit?

 

yeah, i mean between 98 and 2001 he was fighting the elite's like richard hall, reggie johnson, richard frazier, david telesco, otis grant, lou del valle.

 

Really hope this one happens and I don't think its going to be such an easy night for Joe after seeing them both at Fridays weigh in where Hopkins looked by far the bigger man.

 

Of course there are...

No, boxing is not just about how many punches you throw. However you are at a severe disadvantage when you throw 5 punches a round, to your opponents 90. Especially when you couldn't knock my gran out

Joe holds all the aces in this fight. He's younger, has more stamina, throws more punches, has a better jab. Infact, the only thing Hopkins is better at is cheating, but that's fine because he's not called Ricky Hatton
