Hopkins says"Calzaghe would be fighting a legend, I'd just be defeating a champion!"

where else do you suggest he fights. he's what, 28? and with the calzaghe fight has only just made a name for himself, before then where should he have fought?

 

I think if Calzaghe were to fight Hopkins now it would be a competative close decision to Calzaghe 117/116/115

If Hopkins wins a clear decision like you say, i'll be shocked. But for Hopkins to do that he's going to have to put on a CAREER best performance, and if he does that i'll give him all the credit he deserves. Beating Calzaghe would be his best win BY FAR.

However if Calzaghe wins I expect people to give him credit, because Hopkins is far from shot as some people are suggesting.

But hopkins is embaressing himself by blatantly avoiding Calzaghe, he needs to put up or shutup.

 

what the **** could tarver do to eubank? get a lucky one punch KO? out think him? ain't happening my friend, no one has an easy night againt 'thimply the besssth'.

 

Is Hopkins one of the two best fighters at 168-175 except for Joe? Because Joe said: 2 more fights...if he isn't...he shouldn't fight HIM, but, instead, one of the best 2.

 

winky made a buzz for himself back home, no one else gave a **** about him. how is some bland danish kid gonna whip up a stir about himself by randomly fighting all over the world? no one in the states would pay to come see him, you are underestimating how hard it can be for a non american to make his name in the states.

 

Ever since he's captured a title, he's been fighting 4 times in Denmark, and two times outside Denmark. And his most significant fights are outside Denmark, you poof. Let's see Hopkins go to Wales and fight...
Mikkel is far from a home-town fighter, sure he's built his record on fights in Denmark, and he has provided scandinavians fights that we can actually go to, other wise we wouldn't have nothing.
He didn't have to go to Australia to fight Mundine, and he didn't have to go to Wales to fight the best European fighter.. did he?

 

:blood

 

I think it's pretty clear what is going on.

Hopkins doesn't want to go fight in Wales, because he knows his shifty style is all but guaranteed to lose on points. He won't get Hopgoggles going on in Cardiff, for sure.

And who said Calzaghe has had weak opposition? Slap yourself please.

 

i think eubank was a better fighter than tarver is/was, end of story, sorry if you can't get your pig ignorant head around that :good
