Gosh... It's ridiculous. First of all, you are reverting to 'who has he fought' excuse... I don't need to argue with the rest... Because this argument exposes you most. But still... Ok King ANYWAY was the promoter of Tito. He wouldn't put Tito at risk if not the Bernard's age and 157lbs catch-up weight... Up to that moment Hop was avoided just as Calzaghe is now. And YES, taking stupid Tito apart, after 14 years Hop's resume was NO WAY better... The problem is that Hop is not stupid, so he will end up the talk about Calzaghe just as rematch with not-shot-RJJ Yes, he lost, and rejected rematch when Jones was still elite fighter. Explain please what his greatness is. You think after dozen of losses he is IBHOF candidate - simply because he KO'ed the shadow of RJJ? Stop. You'd better explain what his greatness WAS. Because he wasn't even real professional that time, he was construction worker. So what? Didn't DLH received even more from PPV? I know that. Anyway, how ever good Joppy was, the purse was incomparable with $6m. On the other hand, RJJ intended to go for HW title while B-Hop wanted the fight below LHW. B-Hop wanted RJJ to go down, to drain the muscles grown for HW journey... It is simply ridiculous to put such streak record as an argument. How many middleweghts won HW title? Not qualifying even for 1/100 of B-Hop? Oh, God. Sorry, I wanted to say: 'Oh, B-Hop'. He is God, now I know that. Thank you.
Let Hopkins vs the winner of Kessler/Calzaghe meet in January 2008. and Hopkins will get a proper beating. Really - he will. I believe he would have the better chances vs. Calzaghe (who would still win) but if Calzaghe gets a (uncontroversial) win over Kessler, then Hopkins will not have a chance in hell.
i would love to see Hopkins paste the canvas with JC. but if his performance against wright was any indication, he won't be able to come close
Folks, We all had a cracking Saturday night, not only did all of our boys win with Gavin Rees becoming the NEW WBO World Light Welterweight Champion but Joe also won £1,500 after betting £1,000 on Bernard Hopkins beating Winky Wright. You can't knock Hopkins he's a champion, a veteran and a man who has the balls to take on the best, unlike Jermain "The Coward" Talyor. I am very confident that the Calzaghe v Hopkins fight will take place early 2008. There's no doubt in my, Joe's or Bernard Hopkin's mind that Joe will batter kessler into defeat and then go on to box the greatest American boxer at light heavy weight / Supermiddleweight. Following Calzaghe v Hopkins I expect both boxers will retire since there is no one else out there of any substance to beat. For those of you who are interested, I'll be writing an article on www.joecalzaghe.com giving an overview of Joes thoughts of the bouts on Saturday night and comments on Calzaghe v Hopkins.

Your being too nice man. They should let Hopkins fight the winner on Nov 4th 2007 just so he might have a chance
bhop deep down knows JC is the toughest match for him and i really doubt he wants to fight him UNLESS JC's promoter gives him a BIG pay deal, then BHOP will be tempted!
thats the impression i get too, a prime Bhop didn't want anything to do with JC unless BHOP is looking for his retirement money and one last fight (and prepared to seriously lose) he will take it. I honestly think after JC's fight with Kessler we will hear more from bhop. If JC completley dominates and smashes kessler then u will not hear much talk from BHops camp for a JC match, thats guranteed! :good
You can't be serious in trying to compare the resumes..... atsch Hopkins also did a couple years in the bird house atsch atsch atsch Go slap yourself now.
