    Why? the only bad (but true) thing I ever heard Joe have a go at him for was his negative way of fighting and cheating with fake low blows. He has always said both before and after the fight that Hopkins was a legend of the sport.

    People who think Hopkins beats Haye are clueless or being irrational haters.

    You do realise that Calzaghe and Haye are not the same nationality?

    Calzaghe disliked the way Hopkins talked up the fight and then did what he did, he also thinks Hopkins is a ****wit for not accepting that he was defeated on the night.

    But he's never the type to forget the rating of people solely cause of personal difference.

    Seriously? I mean SERIOUSLY? Haye isn't that physically strong? Ok - I can say no more.

    Most people picked Kessler to win the Super Six. And with good reason as he was the number one ranked fighter in the division.

    Joe has a national bias with Haye. As for telling fighters not to fight Joe
    sounds like he does not realise boxing is a blood sport and promoters
    profit from the bloody mayhem. Much the same as the gladiators of old Rome. The audiences cheer the victors and mock the losers. Football is no different being a blood sport.

    Calzaghe is Welsh, Haye is English. They are two different nationalities. I'm not particularly fussed to be honest, but to dismiss what Calzaghe said as having some stupid nationalistic agenda just seemed ******ed.

    He's not wrong yet. Ward showed us that he's far better than any of us could expect, but Kessler should still be expected to win his next two fights and feature in the semis.
